Applying one of these laws can help save time and optimize your tasks.

Parkinson's Law: According to the principle of this law, each task will only take the time you decide to allow it. For example, if you decide that 30 minutes will be enough to complete a task, you must do everything you can to achieve it. The shorter the time, the more you will do your best to complete your tasks.
Pareto's Law: or the 80/20 rule, based on the principle that 80% of results come from 20% of actions. That is, a small percentage of causes generates a very large effect, and therefore, it's important to focus your energy on these 20% that are most productive. For example, completing 20% of tasks will create 80% of the results obtained in a day. Therefore, to maximize these results, you must identify and focus on these and eliminate those that are useless.
Laborit's Law : Human nature tends to prefer the most enjoyable tasks and to neglect or procrastinate the most tedious ones. To save time, do the exact opposite by starting with the most boring and complex tasks and ending with the easiest and most enjoyable ones.
So, which law would be best suited to your deadlines?
