The 80 20 Principle

When you prioritize your activities by spending most of the time doing the things that result in the greatest return, it is called the 80 20 principle. In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry talk about learning to only focus on the top 20% in each area of our lives to yield the greatest return. When you are choosing activities throughout the day, ask yourself, "Is this an $20 per hour job or a $350 per hour job?" The 80% will always reassert itself unless conscious, consistent, and massive efforts are made and sustained to overcome it. As you learn to focus on the 20%, you will realize that hiring talent for the other 80% will make up for lost time.
