The Pareto principle: how to do less and achieve more

🔹Conclusions:

• You can quickly get most of the desired result

• Not all tasks are truly important

• Many small things can be given up

• We need to focus on what really matters, on what will actually deliver results

🔹Adherence to the 80/20 rule can be observed in a wide variety of areas. Examples:

• 20% regular customers generate 80% in profit

• 20% of all goods generates 80% in turnover

• 20% of the population own 80% of the wealth

• 20% staff carry out 80 % of the company’s work

• 20% of the investment portfolio generates 80% in profit

• The 20% alone, representing the knowledge acquired by humankind, contributes four times as much to human development

• In our everyday speech, we use only 20% of our vocabulary

🔹Consequences of the Act:

• The majority of efforts do not lead to the desired results

• Only a few actions lead to important results

• Most actions, whether group or individual, represent a waste of time.

The hardest part is identifying these 20% and focusing your time and effort on what really matters!
