  • The principle advocates for identifying key areas that yield the most significant outcomes, investing resources intentionally in these "power zones," and regularly reassessing priorities to adapt to changes.
  • Applying the 80/20 rule involves critical reflection on one's activities and choices, aiming for smarter effort rather than mere busyness, to achieve a more balanced and productive life.
