| The 80-20 Rule also known as the Pareto Principle states that 80% of the results are from 20% of the effort. So to get more done, focus on the important 20% that gives you 80% of the result you seek. One way to implement this is to take a list of tasks and split into two parts. The first part will contain the top 50% of the tasks to get done. Then take that series of tasks and split it into two parts. The resulting top list is the top 25% or 75-25 which is close enough to 80-20. |
