The 80/20 Rule of Time Management for Entrepreneurs


What if 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts? Spoiler: they probably do.


As a founder, you’re wearing multiple hats, but not all tasks are created equal.

The Pareto Principle teaches us to focus on the 20% of activities that drive 80% of results—like customer acquisition or product development.

Spending time on low-value tasks dilutes your impact.

Key Action Point:
List your daily tasks and identify the top 20% that yield the most value. Ruthlessly delegate or eliminate the rest.
