Put the 80/20 Rule to Work for You!

By March 20, 2018 July 30th, 2018 No Comments

Are you familiar with the Pareto Principle (aka 80/20 Rule) that says 80% of your results come from 20% of your work? This is an often overlooked and under-implemented practice.

We often stay busy without thoughtfully evaluating what is giving us the most results. This can lead to burnout and frustration in all areas of our lives. Busyness does NOT equal productivity and effectiveness!

What if you cut out 80% of your to-do list and saw the same or greater results? Think of the time, energy, and money you would save!

This week, block out some time to evaluate where your energy and focus are going.  Take the following action steps:

1 – Make a list of your daily activities

2 – Evaluate if each activity is helping you achieve your goals or if they are distractions

3 – Think through the following questions:
  • What is required of me?
  • What gives me the greatest return?
  • What gives me the greatest reward?

4 – Make a list of items to DO, DELEGATE or DUMP 

5 – Calendarize the most important activities (if it’s worth doing, it’s worth scheduling!)

My hope is for you to become the most productive and effective as possible. Maximize your time by working smarter. Put the 80/20 Rule to work and watch your results soar!

Be Intentionally Great today!
