Reducing your files

You have 50 files to work on. Your boss tells you to hurry up and finish them so you won't have as much work to do.

So you finish 5 in a week.

Then he gives you 12 more.

How can you reduce your amount of files at this rate without tossing them in the garbage?

Heyyy, is this even a riddle? Sounds to me like you want to reduce your workload and can't figure out how for yourself.

Anyway, the answer, of course, is to zip the files.

The answer (if any is to be found) lies in either increasing the processing rate of old files, or in the reduction in the accrual rate of new files.

Or you could do both for best results..

Each day complete 1/n th of each file, where n is the number of files that you have. If extra work is given then each file is worked on a bit less and will take more time to complete, but each file will be progressing.
