Monday Motivation No. 8. Is Your Busyness Productive? |
|
80% of our success comes from 20% of what we do. That means that 80% of what we do produces few results. We are all very busy every day, but busy doing what? How much of our busyness is productive? Do you know about the 80/20 rule – The Pareto Principle? It’s a powerful tool for enhancing your productivity, your personal and professional success and that of your organisation. 80% of our results come from 20% of our activities. 80% of our business comes from 20% of our clients. 80% of our income comes from 20% of our services or products. So the 20% is the high value activity. We need to discover what that 20% is. What are the high value activities in your work that make up that 20%? What are the low value activities that are taking up 80% of your time and producing few results? In every half hour period of your day, ask yourself: What is the most valuable use of my time right now? Spend 80% of your time doing the 20% of activities that will see you accomplish much more than you thought possible What are the low value 80% of your activities that you are going to stop doing this week or are going to relegate to the end of the day when you’ve done all the high value activities?
So 80/20 your life this week.  Maree Harris. PhD.
