Phases With clarity of purpose we can succeed at our endeavour Success will give you a reputation as a go to person. Presented with increased options and opportunities Increased options and opportunities will lead to defused efforts/ spread thin Distracted of our clarity and purpose We need to change assumptions: I have too, it is important and I can do both Replace with core truths: I choose too, only a few things really matter, I can do anything not everything. (MCKEOWN, 2021) MCKEOWN, G., 2021. ESSENTIALISM. [S.l.]: VIRGIN BOOKS. Pareto principle This “universal truth” about the imbalance of inputs and outputs is what became known as the Pareto principle, or the 80/20 rule Legend has it that one day he noticed that 20% of the pea plants in his garden generated 80% of the healthy pea pods. This observation caused him to think about uneven distribution. He thought about wealth and discovered that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by just 20% of the population KEY TAKEAWAYS The 80-20 rule maintains that 80% of outcomes (outputs) come from 20% of causes (inputs). In the 80-20 rule, you prioritize the 20% of factors that will produce the best results. A principle of the 80-20 rule is to identify an entity's best assets and use them efficiently to create maximum value. This "rule" is a guideline, not a firm mathematical law.
