THE 20/80 RULE!

T
To increase our effectiveness this is a good rule to follow. Ever hear of it? 20% of the activities that you could choose to spend your time on will produce 80% of the results you are after.

Conversely, 80% of your possible activities will produce only 20% of the results you are after. This should get your attention. Just 20% of your activities will take you on the path to reaching your goals, whatever they may be.

The key is to identify the 20% of activities that are necessary and that are a priority. Once this is done, you need to spend the majority of your time and energy on those tasks.

It would be a waste of your time, talent, and energy to spend time on anything not in the top 20% of the activities on your list, at least until that 20% has been totally completed and that’s the point.

Applying the 20/80 rule also reduces the stress that often occurs when you feel like you are getting behind or just aren’t producing enough results for the time and effort you are expending.

With the application of the 20/80 rule, you will have learned to compress time-to accomplish in one day what previously would have required you two, four, or even ten days to accomplish.

Think about it and prioritize!
