Using the Pareto efficiency on your working life

When you put all the possible working schedules, habits and systems on a graph, the graph will show all your productive possibilities.

• If we're below the frontier, we can make more improvements without facing trade-offs. We might choose to work less while keeping our workload constant.
• On the frontier, we can only improve by accepting trade-offs. Choosing an ambitious career move may make us work nights and weekends.
