Are You Doing More Than You Need to be Effective?

Pareto principle
Focus on the Top 20%
Separate what drives results from what takes up your time
How different would your life be if you didn’t spend 80% of your time on things that don’t matter as much as the top 20%? With a little planning and practice, you can spend your time and attention on what matters most.

Before you worry about making it perfect, ask yourself if that’s the best use of your time. It probably isn’t.
