  • Have you ever been interested in becoming more productive or managing your time better?

  • Then you've most likely come across the Pareto Principle before, also known as the 80/20 rule.

  • If you've never heard of it, then you'll learn more about it in this video.

  • The Pareto principle states that in any situation, 20 percent of the inputs or activities, are

  • responsible for 80 percent of the outputs or results.

  • And I'll explain what that means in a second.

  • The principle was named after an Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto.

  • He first observed this law in his own garden.

  • What he noticed was that 20% of the pea pods generated 80% of the healthy peas.

  • This observation led him to discover that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by just

  • 20% of the population.

  • And we can even see this concept everywhere in our daily lives.

  • For example:

  • You wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time.

  • In a book, 20% of its pages contain 80% of the most important information.

  • 20% of the company's customers, produce 80% of company's revenue

  • When it comes to YouTube, 20% percent of my videos generate 80% of my views and subscribers.

  • The Pareto principle shows up over and over again, in almost every field.

  • But the inverse is also true.

  • That means that the other 80% is only generating 20% of the results.

  • However you should note that this is not an universal law, and it can differ in many situations.

  • It's not always going to be 80/20, it could be 70/30, 90/10, basically anything.

  • The point is that the majority of results come from minority of causes.

  • And the minority of results come from the majority of causes.

  • Now that we've established that this principle does indeed hold true, let's take a look at

  • how you can use it in your everyday life.

  • Time is our most precious resource.

  • We all have the same amount of time in our day.

  • But most of us don't use that time efficiently.

  • There's a difference between being busy and being productive.

  • Most people think that working more hours will get them more results.

  • However it's not about the time you put in, it's about how well you spend that time.

  • If you haven't applied the Pareto principle in your life yet, you're most likely just

  • being busy.

  • However when the principle is utilized correctly it enables you to do more by doing less.

  • If we go back to our previous example, we said that 20% of a book will give us 80% of the information.

  • That means that 80% of a book will only give us 20% of its value.

  • Let's say it takes you 10 hours to read 100% of that book.

  • By applying the Pareto principle you know that 80% of the most important information

  • can be found in just 2 hours.

  • Yes, you could go deeper and learn more in depth if you wanted to, but note that you

  • will most likely have to spend 8 hours to get those extra 20% of the information.

  • It's up to you to decide if you think it's worth it.

  • If you're still in school you can also take advantage of the 80/20 rule.

  • The exams never contain 100% of the content.

  • Never.

  • Otherwise it would be a 50 page exam.

  • You can get a good grade by identifying, which 20% of the content you were studying in class,

  • is the most important.

  • Studying the right topic for two hours will get you a much better grade, than studying

  • the wrong topic for a whole week.

  • Again, you could reread every single page of the textbook and get that 100%.

  • But if being a top student is not your priority, then it just might not be worth your time.

  • You can even do a Pareto analysis on your friendships.

  • What you're most likely to find is that 20% of the friends, give you 80% of your fulfillment

  • and joy, that you get from social interactions.

  • The other 80% of your so called "friends" are only giving you 20% fulfillment.

  • Now you don't have to cut away those friendships completely, but you don't have to spend an

  • equal amount of time with all your companions.

  • It's much better to have a few close friends, than to have a bunch of really distant friends.

  • This is why you should spend more time on the 20% that give you the most satisfaction,

  • and commit less time to the other 80%.

  • And that pretty much sums up the Pareto principle aka the 80/20 rule.

  • It can be applied to almost any area of your life, whether it's business or free time.

  • If you can identify the 20% that produces the greatest outcome, you can spend more time

  • doing that, to create an even greater pay-off.

  • It also helps you cut back on the 80% of things that waste your time, which create only 20%

  • of the results.

  • It encourages you to think efficiently and focus on what is actually important.

  • So think about what are some of the things that you could double down on, and which ones

  • you should eliminate.

  • Let me know how are you going to use the 80/20 rule in the comments below.

  • For example I have noticed that I use 20% of my shoes 80% of the time.

  • This is why I threw the 80% I wasn't using away, because all they were doing

  • is taking up my space.

  • Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video.

  • Make sure to leave a like and click that little bell icon next to my channels name.

  • Youtube has been changing up its algorithm and for some reason it's much harder to find

  • my videos now.

  • However clicking on the bell will notify you whenever I post some new content.

  • This way you won't miss a chance to become better than yesterday.
