The 80/20 Principle:
20% of activity gives 80% of results and 80% of activity gives
20% of results (known as the Pareto Principle). * Focus on the
important few activities, not the trivial many. * Don’t
procrastinate * The key is self discipline. * “First we make
habits, then habits make us.”
“When we control our time, we master our life”
Good luck
