Welcome back to The Brain Coach. In today’s episode, Mary continues the discussion around efficiency and effectiveness. She introduces the Pareto Principle (also known as the 80/20 rule), the idea that a small portion of causes are responsible for the majority of effects. Mary highlights examples of how this principle shows up in business, health, learning, and everyday life. She then explains how to use this principle to pinpoint the specific tasks or actions that are the biggest drivers of our success. By focusing on impactful tasks and cutting out unnecessary distractions, we can increase both our effectiveness and efficiency. If you are looking to manage your time more intentionally and advance your personal and professional growth, this episode is for you.
