Studies show that it takes between 28 to 36 hours of working to squeeze out as much productivity in our work performance. If that’s the case, why do so many budding entrepreneurs assume that in order to kickstart their own business, they have to hustle 50 or more hours of work per week? 

That’s insane! And can take a toll on both your mental and physical health. You’ve got to shift this mindset around!

Have you heard about the “Pareto Theory”? It’s well-known as the 80/20 Rule. The Italian economist, Wilfredo Pareto, brought about his observation of the distribution of wealth in his country to the 80/20 ratio: 80% of Italy’s wealth was owned by 20% of the people. 

Later on, as he observed, he sees the ratio is applicable to almost everything in sight. The rule implies that in every circumstance, 20% of the actions or causes are responsible for the 80% of results or the effects. 

Turns out, it does check out. Spending more hours does not necessarily mean getting more things done. Pause for a minute and re-evaluate your work habits and process. Instead of clouding your mind with all the things you have to do, prioritize. Determine which tasks are urgent and important that when accomplished, will bring you better results. Get your critical thinking at work.

Before you begin your week and start working on numerous tasks simultaneously, take a moment to ascertain what task/s you need to sort out head-on first. What tasks do you need to complete before the day or weekends that can lead to greater success? 

Pareto’s Principle is a game-changing guide to qualifying your workload. Practice this framework with mindful awareness.
