“A few things are important, most are not.”

– Richard Koch

 

Using some of Vilfredo Pareto’s timeless wisdom, identify the tasks that you currently spend 80% of your time on (it could be more or less).

 

Now, ask yourself:

 

• Are these tasks aligned to your goals in life?
• Are they getting you closer to achieving what you want to?
• Are they tasks you are committed to in some meaningful way?

 

If not, maybe you should be replacing them with something else.

 

Reduce the unnecessary so the necessary can make itself heard.

 

Seek signal amongst the noise.

 

Identify your version of the vital few.
