how to follow the 80|20 rule

The 80|20 rule is the principle that 20% of what you do results in 80% of your output. Believe it or not, your results are largely determined by a small portion of what you do each day. So focusing on the most productive tasks will result in greater output.

Here’s how to put it into practice.

1. Purpose

Every time you make a change, ask yourself "does this align with my purpose?" tie your purpose to your actions and goals.

2. Specifics

Get specific on what's stopping you from living your purpose. Write down 5 things you can do today and list them in order of priority.

3. Actions

Create SMART goals to help you stay on track. these actions are the real 20% of the 80|20 rule.

Purpose + Priority = Productivity.
