How to apply the 80/20 rule in time management

Applies the Pareto principle

The Pareto principle, also called the 80/20 rule, is a very useful technique for optimizing time management. According to this principle, 80% of the results come from 20% of the efforts. Identifying and focusing on that 20% can significantly improve your daily productivity and efficiency. In practice, this means that you will be able to put more focus and energy into the tasks that have the greatest impact on your goals.

To start applying the 80/20 rule, you should be able to do a little analysis of your daily activities in advance, perhaps the day before, and evaluate which of them generate the greatest results for you. Once you have identified them, prioritize these tasks and devote most of your time and resources to them. By prioritizing what yields the most results, you will be able to achieve your goals more quickly, and you will reduce the time and effort spent on activities that would clearly be less productive.

These priorities and important tasks are not fixed, so it is wise to review and adjust your most productive tasks each day, and prioritize them according to the Pareto principle, i.e. focus on that 20% of effort that will bring you 80% of the results by being the most effective tasks on your list.

If you have done this correctly, you will then be able to dedicate the remaining 80% to the rest of the more unproductive tasks that also need to be done. Applying this technique of prioritization and time dedication will allow you to maximize the efficiency of your daily workday, and achieve a higher level of productivity and success in your projects.
