Much of it just simply won't apply to my life or lifestyle, but still a very interesting principle to read about and some "food for thought" for my future. ( ) This is the most instantly impactful book I’ve read in a long time. The Pareto principle is simple, observable and common knowledge for anyone who has studied basic economics. Still we fail to apply it, even though doing so can yield immediate returns. Koch’s writing is all about activating the concept, which he does through stories, hard data, and his own track record. In course, he turns the mantra of succeeding primarily through hard work completely on its head. He walks the walk, even recommending the reader skip certain chapters based on their needs. I’ve already started applying the concepts to my calendar and to-do list, resulting in a changed mindset throughout the day and more time for higher priorities. (I find it interesting that I had read this book 12 years ago and didn’t find it as useful or, apparently, memorable. Perhaps I am more motivated by time and practical results now, or perhaps I was just in a different place then.) Have you ever heard about the economist, Vilfredo Pareto? He discovered something rather peculiar about distribution. It does not distribute equally. It follows a model closer to 80/20. It is known as Pareto’s Principle or the 80/20 Principle. Richard Koch detailed this 1896 principle in length in his book, The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less. It is a principle worth getting to know. Read more Quin reviewed it thus: "I give it five out of five but here's the deal. I think the book itself follows the 80/20 rule. 20% of the book gives you 80% of the value. Do this: Read a short definition of the 80/20 rule on the web. Skip to chapter 9 and begin reading the book. Stop when you finish chapter 11. Read 13 and then skim the rest of the book." I agree with Quin that 80% of the value is in 20% of the book. So, I kind of followed his advice. I skimmed the first 8 chapters. I especially liked the last chapter where he discussed objections and limitations to the 80/20 rule of thumb. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML:Be more effective with less effort by learning how to identify and leverage the 80/20 principle: that 80 percent of all our results in business and in life stem from a mere 20 percent of our efforts. The 80/20 principle is one of the great secrets of highly effective people and organizations. Did you know, for example, that 20 percent of customers account for 80 percent of revenues? That 20 percent of our time accounts for 80 percent of the work we accomplish? The 80/20 Principle shows how we can achieve much more with much less effort, time, and resources, simply by identifying and focusing our efforts on the 20 percent that really counts. Although the 80/20 principle has long influenced today's business world, author Richard Koch reveals how the principle works and shows how we can use it in a systematic and practical way to vastly increase our effectiveness, and improve our careers and our companies. The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that little of what we spend our time on actually counts. But by concentrating on those things that do, we can unlock the enormous potential of the magic 20 percent, and transform our effectiveness in our jobs, our careers, our businesses, and our lives.
