The Pareto Principle
The Pareto Principle states that 80% of your results will be generated from 20% of your focused efforts.

Rest and Recharge
Working when you’re overly stressed and tired does not make you more productive, nor should it be a badge of honor.
Try and establish a sleep routine by going to bed and waking up every day at the same time. If you can give yourself enough time between working and sleeping, you’ll have an easier time turning your brain off and relaxing without any screens.
Give yourself time to go on a walk, practice some deep breathing, and meditate.

Have the confidence to know that you’re doing exactly what needs to get done.
