The 80-20 rule (aka Pareto’s principle) ✅
Today we will take a look at the infamous Pareto’s principle.
How to recognize the Pareto’s principle
Do you study 80% of the time and feel like you get 20% results⁉️
Then PARETO‘s principle (aka 80/20 rule) will be useful to you!😊
Know that…
80% of your effort will give you 20% of results
20% of your effort will give you 80% of results
The Pareto’s principle applies to school and business❗️
So the goal is to spend less time studying! 🤓👍
Find those critical 20% that will give you the best outcome.
I’m not saying just use 20% but make sure you are using those CRITICAL 20%!
☝️To get the best out of your study time, find out…
- Where do you study best? (Dorm room, library, bedroom,…)
- What time of the day do you tend to study best? (Morning, night,…)
- Is there background music? (Important: When you study with music, retrieve with music as well!)
- What is your preferred layout? (Coffee, snacks,…. But don’t ruin your flow by taking too many breaks!)
☝️Common elements that most students have in their 20%:
✅ no distraction
✔️phone off
✔️no social media
✔️one task at a time
✅ no more than 1.5h of consecutive engagement
✅ set a time-frame & be true with yourself
✔️Don’t stop early
✔️Don’t finish late
