Description

This PR adds a new UX psychology entry titled Parkinson's Law to the uiux/concepts/ux-psychology/terms/ section.

New folder: content/uiux/concepts/ux-psychology/terms/parkinsons-law/
New images:

  • media/parkinsons-law-graph-img.png
  • media/parkinsons-law-comparison-img.png
    Markdown file: parkinsons-law.md includes an overview of the principle, UX-specific implications, when and how to apply it, design recommendations, and limitations.

This entry aligns with the established tone and formatting used for other psychology-based UX laws (e.g. Hicks’s Law, Fitts’s Law).

Hey @AnamolR, there are modifications needed with this entry, can we have the following included in this PR:

What is Parkinson's Law?
Application of Parkinson's Law in UX Design
Best Practices for Applying Parkinson's Law in UX Design

Also make sure you add the images in proper context. Example: parkinsons-law-comparison-img.png is placed where the readers wont understand what it means.

So please make those changes and let us know.

Hi @mamtawardhani, I've made changes according to your request. Also, removed the image as it too abstract and ambiguous, and like you mentioned, would be difficult for readers to understand. Please have a look.
