The Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule, is a time management concept that states: 80% of results come from 20% of your efforts. It encourages focusing on the tasks that provide the most value instead of spreading your energy thinly.
Example:
- Imagine you have 10 tasks to complete in a day. If you analyze them, you'll find that 2 of these tasks (20%) are the most important and contribute to 80% of your success.
- For instance, if you're a student, preparing for a test and submitting a big project might be the tasks that matter most, while organizing your desk or checking emails are less impactful.
By identifying and prioritizing these high-value tasks, you can use your time more effectively.
