80/20 Rules and Time Management

Most of the people think that time management is a very easy task . Just take a piece of paper and write the things what to do in a single day. BUT Time management is more than just writing a to do list. It is about three things 

1.Mind management 

2.Effective planning 

3.Scientific methods

As we are talking about scientific methods ,80/20 rules come into the picture.

It is a great way to manage our times .So let's see what is 80/20 rule.

80/20 rules says 80% of the goal is fulfilled by 20% of our daily activities. That means if we have 10 works in a day two works among them decides the 80% activities of the day.

It is a static analysis so it can be 70/30 or 75/25. But on a average we say 80/20. So we have to find out that 20% of the work which will determine the 80% of our daily goal.

And we have to keep this 20% work in the morning and the rest of the work after noon. Now you may say why we have to do this 20% work in the morning??

Here we will introduce a word "Willpower". Willpower is like a battery. When a battery is fully charged it starts draining. It happens same with willpower. When we wake up early in the morning our will power is fully charged and it starts draining from that moment whatever we do. And end of the day it starts becoming empty. So that's why we have to do the most important things (20% works that decides 80% of the goal of a day) in the morning.

So we have to find out those 20% of work that will help us to fulfill our goal of the day. And try to decrease 80% work that doesn't have a match value to our goal. That's how we can manage our time and waste less time in a day
