Feeling constantly busy but not actually making progress? Struggling with overwhelm, burnout, and an endless to-do list? Honestly, same.

I’ve been stuck in an overwhelming cycle of too much work and not enough impact, so I started experimenting with different productivity hacks—and this week I’m sharing one that’s really helping.

We’re diving into the 80/20 Rule—also known as the Pareto Principle—a game-changing productivity method that helps you work smarter, not harder by focusing on the tasks that actually move the needle.

The Pareto Principle isn’t just a theory; it applies to work, relationships, finances, and general productivity so you can ditch busywork and operate in your zone of genius.
