Chances are you’ve heard of the famous 80/20 rule somewhere before, but if it’s news to you we’ll start from the beginning.

The idea was coined by an Italian economist called Vilfredo Pareto, dubbed ‘Pareto’s Principle’ by guru Joseph Juran, and eventually came to be known as the 80/20 rule.

Thanks for the history lesson, but how does this apply to my life? It’s quite simple:

The 80/20 Rule means that in any situation, 20 percent of the inputs or activities are responsible for 80 percent of the outcomes or results. In Pareto’s case, it meant 20 percent of the people owned 80 percent of the wealth. In Juran’s initial work applying the 80/20 rule to quality studies, he identified 20 percent of the defects causing 80 percent of the problems.
