WHY LESS IS MORE: THE PARETO PRINCIPLE IN A NUTSHELL - ALBERT ELISHA OBERDORFER
The idea of working less to achieve more sounds counter-intuitive, right? Yet, an Italian economist by the name of Wilfredo Pareto discovered a powerful principle that says that the majority of results is the result of a minority of causes. Pareto noted an 80/20 ratio. 20 % of something causes 80% of the results. And vice versa: 20% of input causes only 20% of the results. If this is true—and countless studies have shown this is to be the case in all areas of life—then we should do less of what doesn’t work, and focus more on what does. So we can achieve more by working less. Find out how you can apply the Pareto principles in all areas of your life by doing less, not more. You will be amazed.

8 <strong>LESS</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>MORE</strong>.<br />
LET’S say you’d like to improve your<br />
current relationship.<br />
The answer to improving your relationship<br />
may not be to spend more time with your<br />
partner.<br />
But to spend more quality time: a time<br />
where you are entirely focused on each<br />
other.<br />
To facilitate that, perhaps you need to<br />
put your mobile phones aside during the<br />
quality time you spend with each other.<br />
In that way, you can improve your<br />
relationship significantly.<br />
