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
