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<a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/5-tactics-to-improve-focus-during-a-long-work-week/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=FastCo"> focusing on tasks that yield greater results </a>, and less time on the things that don’t. Next time you find yourself working late, ask yourself, “<a href="https://thisiscrowd.com/news/pareto-principle-working-smart/">Which 20% of my actions can contribute toward 80% of the end goal? </a>“

The Pareto Principle

We all have the same hours in the day, yet how we prioritize our time and energy will dictate our ability to execute tasks efficiently.
Working smarter is the ability to be productive and efficient when working toward your goals, rather than looking and feeling busy and out of time.
Use your headspace to work smarter, and not harder, using the following perspectives:

Prioritize Your Time

Remember that what might take you five hours could take someone else eight. This does not mean you’re doing anything wrong, working less hard, or being lazy! Working longer hours does not ensure higher productivity.
Give yourself the time you need to set and achieve your own goals.
Have the confidence to know that you’re doing exactly what needs to get done.

Focus On Your Own Journey

Working when you’re <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/beat-anxiety-and-stress-in-the-workplace/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=FastCo">overly stressed and tired</a> 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.
