Hey everyone, happy Monday. Welcome back to the podcast. So today I want to loop back to the

conversation that I had on the podcast last week with Benjamin Hardy. Now, at the end of the

episode, he talked to us about Pareto

principle or Pareto's law, which is the 80-20 rule. So the 80-20 rule is essentially a

So typically people think about this when they're looking at business outcomes,

And so when Benjamin was talking,

I always have a sheet of paper and a pen in front of me

when I'm recording podcast episodes so that I can maybe drop down notes or questions,

things that come to mind when I don't want to interrupt

them. So I wrote down on the paper 80 on one side and 20 on the other. And I actually thought it would

be really useful to just start listing things. So listing things, I suppose if you're focusing on your

career, listing things down that you have to do as part of your job, as part of your career

progression, as part of your creative output, whatever it is you're working on, just list things

down and then start to push them into one page or the other. Is it on the 80% side, which is

just, I guess, stuff, you know, whether it's meetings, calls, scrolling, what we call

research, which is often just scrolling through social media, look at the things you're doing

with your time, the things you're doing that are actions and actually list them. And I started doing
