80/20 your way to success

Also called Pareto’s principle, the rule states that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts.

  • 80% of a business's profits come from 20% of its customers
  • 80% of your time is spent with 20% of the people you know
  • 80% of the fun you have come from 20% of the activities you do

A big part of becoming a fast learner is about breaking a skill down into smaller chunks. Then you can examine each chunk, and focus on the 20% that will have the highest impact while disregarding the trivial 80% that’s not going to make a real difference.

Another perspective: “What are the 20% of obstacles which are causing 80% of my problems?” If you can target the biggest, hairiest, most glaring obstacle that is preventing you from learning quickly, and focus on erasing that from existence, then you’ll open the door to rapid progress.
