80/20 Principle

How to achieve more with less in life and business

What is the 80/20 Principle?

The 80/20 Principle asserts that there is an inbuilt imbalance between efforts and results, inputs and outputs, and causes and consequences. It states that about 20% of causes, inputs or effort usually lead to about 80% of the result, outputs or rewards.

20% of things are most productive;
80% of things are less productive.

The 80/20 Principle can be applied to any entity and help you become more productive by relocating resources from less effective to more effective uses.
