✅ Big idea of the book:

You don’t have to be a superhero to get superhuman results! According to the 80/20 Principle, 80% of your outcomes come from just 20% of your inputs. So, instead of trying to do everything, focus on the things that will give you the biggest bang for your buck. In other words, work smarter, not harder, and you’ll be well on your way to becoming an efficiency ninja! Just remember, it’s not about working 24/7, it’s about working the 20% that gives you 80% of the results. Now go forth and conquer!

10 Big takeaways from the book:

✅ Here are 3 more tips I’ve learned from the book

1. Use the 80/20 Principle to prioritize your time. By focusing on the 20%, you’ll be able to accomplish more in less time and avoid burnout.
2. Apply the 80/20 Principle to your personal relationships. Focus on the 20% of people who bring you the most joy and value, and invest your time and energy into those relationships.
3. The 80/20 Principle can also be applied to your spending habits. Look for areas where you’re spending 80% of your money on just 20% of your needs, and consider cutting back in those areas to free up more resources for the things that truly matter to you.
