Pareto’s Law<br />

your personal productivity. When applied to the practice of<br />
time management, it produces remarkable results.<br />
Basically, there are just four ways to increase your productivity—that<br />
is, to generate more results in less time:<br />
1. Do more of certain things.<br />
2. Do less of certain things.<br />
3. Start doing something you are not now doing.<br />
4. Stop doing something you are now doing.<br />
Consider the first two statements: doing more of certain<br />
things and doing less of certain things. Pareto’s Law makes<br />
the task of determining what to do more of and what to do<br />
less of relatively easy. It involves four steps:<br />
1. Identify your highest-value activities—the 20 percent<br />
of things you do each day that contribute 80 percent<br />
of the value of your work.<br />
2. Identify your lowest-value activities—the 80 percent<br />
of things you do each day that contribute little of the<br />
value of your work.<br />
3. Resolve to spend more of your time on your highvalue<br />
activities.<br />
4. Resolve to delegate or eliminate as many of your lowvalue<br />
activities as possible.<br />
Applying Pareto’s Law in this manner will allow you to<br />
significantly increase the level of your personal productivity
