The 80/20 Rule for Productivity

Olga Lacroix
About this episode

Many of us think productivity equals visible results. It’s about achieving success and goals through having results that show all the time. But productivity is not just about seeing results, it’s also about having the ability to think with clarity, the output of energy you have internally, and how you can cultivate the key elements that feed your productivity. 

I believe, that for you to be productive, you have to cultivate four key elements: mental clarity, organization, prioritization, and taking action. However, how do you break down the elements of your day to ensure you become productive? How do you distribute your 100 percent among all the elements to achieve your goal of productivity? That’s where the 80/20 rule comes in.
