Learning the 20/80 principle had no impact on my life. It is difficult to apply to my life at this age. I understand the concept. It is offering itself almost as if it will always work although it can only be implemented in a select few situations that rarely occur in my life and likely a lot of people's lives. The key to the principle seems to be efficiency of effort. It did help me realize some of my weaknesses.
I don't sleep on a normal routine. Some nights I suffer from insomnia which keeps me up all night. That leads to a later start to the morning. I have a lack of energy the next day. Some days are filled with naps and no motivation. Here are some of the ways I will fix them.
There are three time allocation changes that could increase my productivity: establishing a regular sleep schedule, waking up at an earlier time, and starting school earlier in the day. This would help me feel more rested. It would give me more time to get things done in the day and give me more time for the things I enjoy.
How does the 80/20 Principle work?
