The 80/20 Rule

The 80/20 rule says that you’ll get roughly 80% of your results from 20% of your efforts.

So of course the big question Jonathan and I had to tackle is how can you identify and focus on that all-important 20%?

How to get clear right now on your 20%.

Decreasing the friction (time, process, money) of any actions that don’t fall into your critical 20%.

A handful of ideas to leverage your time on activities that will deliver 80% of your results.

Identifying the actions that are not fun, not easy and don’t contribute to your 80%—so you can stop doing them (or hand them off).

Why freeing up headspace to focus on your 20% can make you not only more productive, but happier.
