the 80/20 way

Over 100 years ago , an itaian economist got a real shock. Prof. Vilfredo Pareto was investagating wealth in britain. He found a curiously lopsided picture. Fewer people had larger share of the money.And he found 20% of the people had 80% of the wealth.And thus 80/20 principle came into existence.
It would be interesting to know that 80/20 rule is not only applicable to business, but also to every aspect of our daily life.For ex.,
-Check your wardrobe. only 20% of clothes are being used 80% of the time.
-Only 1 in every 5 slides that you present generates useful discussion
-If you draw a wallchart of your expenses 20% of items cost you 80% of the money
So seek out to find the High Impact activities and act upon them. Do More Woth Less. If your objective is to develop High Life-time pay-off habits : Prepare a list of Good habits; Then be very selective and pick only one or two of those habits and start implementing them. It would be a highly rewarding exercise in terms of the time spent against the benefits reaped.
Some of the habits that i could think off is :
- 30 minutes of exercise per day
- 30 minutes of meditation per day
- 30 minutes of Reading a book of choice
- 30 minutes of Writing etc.,
Learn to do more with less by the 80/20 way

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
