Pareto's Law (80/20 Rule)
Pareto’s Law (80/20 Rule): 80% of the outputs result from 20% of the inputs.
Use 80/20 in work -
- If you had a heart attack and had to work two hours per day, what would you do?
- If you had a second heart attack and had to work two hours per week, what would you do?
- If you had a gun to your head and had to stop doing 4/5 of different time-consuming activities, what would you remove?
- What are the top 3 activities that I use to fill time to feel as though I’ve been productive?
- Who are the people who produce the most of your enjoyment and propel you forward, and which cause most of your depression, anger, and second-guessing?
- If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?

The 80/20 rule reversed
Sometimes figuring out your 20% — what activities you will get the vast majority of your return on — is too hard.
It’s sometimes easier to identify the 80% of things not bringing you sufficient value and stop learning and doing them.
80/20 Rule All Around
The Pareto Principle could also be observed in almost every industry:
- In software, 80% of the errors and crashes in a system would be eliminated by fixing the top 20% of the most reported bugs.
- In sports, 20% of athletes participate in 80% of the big games
