The Pareto Principle

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

This was discovered when economist Vilfredo Pareto noticed that 20% of his garden peapods produced 80% of his peas. Translated into your own life, you could benefit from spending more time focusing on tasks that yield greater results , and less time on the things that don’t.

Next time you find yourself working late, ask yourself,Which 20% of my actions can contribute toward 80% of the end goal?
