#276 Hack Your Life with the 80/20 Rule

Michael Lavers
About this episode

The 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, suggests that 20% of actions cause 80% of the outcomes. 

There are so many ways in which this shows up in life, so I'm going to be discussing it and talking about some ways we can think about this rule to improve our language progress, make our lives more efficient, and increase our level of happiness.
