Kate's Take

Day 37 of 100: How to leverage the Pareto Principle


Listen Later

What’s up my Kate's Take listeners! I’m so happy to be here with you today! Today is day 37 of 100.

If you’re ready to 80/20 your work, then you’re in the right place.  

First, let’s call on our 5 questions.

These questions are the bookends to your day - answer 1 and 2 in the morning, and 3 - 5 at night. 

  1. What’s one thing I’m grateful for?
  2. What’s one thing I’ll accomplish today that will bring me one step closer to my goal? 
  3. What’s something that’s working well for me right now? 
  4. What’s something that’s not working well for me right now?
  5. How can I either solve what’s not working right now, or get rid of it?

What would it look like if 20% of your efforts produced 80% of your results?

James Clear laid it out perfectly in one of his newsletters… He wrote:

How to 80/20 your work

  • Make a list of the 10 things you spend the most time on.
  • Circle the two that truly drive your results. Do more of those.
  • Look at the others. Eliminate ruthlessly. Automate or outsource what you can. Press pause on the rest.
  • Repeat.

Pretty simple, right?

I can guarantee you that if you take the time to sit down and do this exercise, the weeks and months to come will be some of your most productive ever.

And when you gain that momentum - when you feel that feeling of freedom… that you’re working on things you love and they’re truly making an impact - don’t stop.

Call on your discipline and your focus and leverage that momentum to take you, your business, and your impact to the next level.

As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to me and share your wins - and your struggles. I’m [email protected] or katelerickson on Instagram
