Overcome Overwhelm & Boost Your Productivity with the 80/20 Rule (AKA The Pareto Principle) | The Quickie


Listen Later

Feeling constantly busy but not actually making progress? Struggling with overwhelm, burnout, and an endless to-do list? Honestly, same.

I’ve been stuck in an overwhelming cycle of too much work and not enough impact, so I started experimenting with different productivity hacks—and this week I’m sharing one that’s really helping.

We’re diving into the 80/20 Rule—also known as the Pareto Principle—a game-changing productivity method that helps you work smarter, not harder by focusing on the tasks that actually move the needle.

The Pareto Principle isn’t just a theory; it applies to work, relationships, finances, and general productivity so you can ditch busywork and operate in your zone of genius.

Ready to break free from the grind? Tune in to hear about:

✅ How to apply the 80/20 rule to your work and daily tasks

✅ The difference between being “busy” vs. being productive

✅ How to identify and prioritize high-impact tasks to maximize your productivity and efficiency

✅ How to stop wasting time and operate in your zone of genius

✅ Why urgency doesn’t always mean importance

✅ How this principle improves relationships, finances, style, and more

I hope this helps you take back control of your time and break free from burnout!
