Work expands so as to fill the available time. That's Parkinson's Law.

Or in other words: The amount of time that one has to perform a task is the amount of time it will take to complete the task

So, if you have a deadline, wait until the correct time and then start working. This helps a lot in terms of not over-doing things and will save precious man-hours.
