Using the 80-20 Rule in Life


 All of us have heard of the 80/20 rule where 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.  When I looked this up in Wikepedia many examples were given.  In computer software 80% of the errors were caused by 20% of the code. 80% of a piece of software can be written in 20% of total allocated time.  Conversely 20% of the code takes 80% of the time.
Brian Tracy (motivator and inspirational writer and speaker) said that we can maximize the use of the 80/20 rule by working on the 20% of the goals in our life that would cause major changes in our life.  He stated that most of us do the reverse and try to clear up small goals first.
I have been thinking about the energy I use during the day.  Making small changes can create big differences in my day.  Also the small changes can take very little time


  • Meditating first thing in the morning creates a positive attitude for rest of day
  • Small changes in diet such as replacing soft drinks with water will result in better physical health
  • Looking at goal lists first thing in the morning changes course of the day
  • Replacing negative thoughts with positive will attract synchronicity in life and effect better health and well being
