Nowadays, we drown in too many to-do’s, too much information and too many obligations. Stress levels are higher than ever, more and more people get burned-out and overwhelmed — and many feel that they lack focus in their lives.

In other words, there is a real need for a strong antidote that helps people reclaim their focus, calm and clarity. And that’s what I’m going to talk about in this article. I’ll share exactly how I use the 80/20 rule (Pareto's Principle) so that I can focus better on the important things in life, and no longer get overwhelmed or stressed out.

What Is The 80/20 Rule?

If you’ve never heard of Pareto’s Law (or also called the 80/20 Principle), you’re in for a treat here. Let’s look at something VERY interesting, almost magical.

Did you know that:

  • About 80% of the crimes are committed by 20% of the criminals
  • About 20% of patients use 80% of healthcare resources
  • In sports, roughly 20% of the exercises and habits have 80% of the impact
  • The richest 20% of the world’s population control 82.7% of the world’s income
  • In business, roughly 20% of a company’s customers are responsible for 80% of the sales
