percent rules

80/20 Rule/Pareto Principle: Generally speaking, the 80/20 Principle says that most of our results come from a small portion of our actual work, and conversely, that we spend most of our energy doing things that aren’t ultimately all that important. Figure out which part of your work has the greatest results and focus as much of your energy as you can on that part.

Spend 50% of your working day on tasks that advance your long-term, life goals, spend 30% on tasks that advance your middle-term (2-years or so) goals, and the remaining 20% on things that affect only the next 90 days or so.

Percent rules , these are form a page about 50 things to do to get things done faster, and although I used to be a huge advocate of these- sometimes I am not now.

When I was in a different world there were all sorts of words that were thrown out there- justification, enabler, fronter, all excuses for why things did not start or happen.

It seems now that instead of giving reasons why we cant start, we must "work smarter" or provide better value for money.

Really, there is a time and place for all this, I have even dedicated a part of my life to be a qualified quality person, learnig all sorts of quality and business plans.

From all this I learned that the majority of time it simply is people are not working, doing, or producing.

so sometimes it is better to concentrate on actually doing,l nothing will be right untill it is started
