The 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle, basically states that 80% of the results are produced by 20% of the actions.

In a business, for example, 80% of the money comes from 20% of the customers. Knowing this, the owner should always focus his limited resources on that 20% of customers and put the remaining resources into acquiring similar customers and expanding the business.

In everything that you do, there is always that 20% of things that give you 80% of the results. Find out what those things are in your relationships, in your health, in your finances, in your happiness, and focus on them.

For your relationships it could be sex and quality time; for your health it could be exercise and nutrition; for your finances it could be taking action; for your happiness it could be meditation.

The remaining 80% of things should be eliminated, automated, and delegated as much as possible.

For your relationships it could be delegating housework to someone else; for your health it could be eliminating junk food; for your finances it could be automating your bills; for your happiness it could be letting go of the wrong people.

Apply the 80/20 rule in everything that you do to make the most out of life.

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, unapologetically, to say No to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger Yes burning inside. ― Stephen R. Covey
