"80/20 is a catch all title"- Achieve more with Pareto's law book
What we are looking for when using the 80/20 principle are patterns where large imbalances occur within a set. In a previous post I discussed the quote that 20% of the population controls 80% of the wealth.
Another example could be that 20% of my projects will lead to 80% of the perception other people have about my performance. Which ones? You have to spend time and think about the effect and the people affected by the project. Not all customers are equal.
The point of this imbalance is that it exists. Be aware and keep asking yourself which few affect the many.
Note that most people do not believe this effect. They believe that all things are important. So it will be difficult for them to differentiate. Reality is that they are wrong.
By learning to differentiate you will learn to control the output and your success.
Today's question is:
"What few inputs will affect your output the most?"
