Today we're looking at something
I think a lot of people have heard about bo're going to come to go beyond the basics
That's the eighty twenty rule and specifically how this can revolutionize goal setting
So we're using a brright and tracy video right on goal seseas kind of the basis for today's deep dive
But um i think just to hope everybody write the beginning imagine
If you could pinpoint the twenty percent of your efforts right that produced eighty percent of your results right
Well
This is
And that would a huge
It's very interesting concept
And it's been around for over century
Yeah
It was
It's calcalled the parado principle
And it was actually yeah
First first discovered by vhil fradto parado back in the late eighteen hundred
Wow
Eighteen ninety five to be exact okay
And he was looking at wealth distribution in italy
And he noticed this curious pattern about eighty percent of the land was owned by twenty percent of the population
Yeah
It's so interesting
And he started
Thinking could this principle apply to other things right ah and
And it really does
And it does i mean
I've seen this play out absolutely ally different areas of life
So it's not just about wealth
Yeah
So briin tracing this video o takes a kind of to the next level
He does and you know one of the things
He talks about which i thought was super interesting
Yeah is how a lot of us
Kind of fall into this trap of doing
A lot of busy work great
That doesn't actually contribute to the overall the suor said that we're looking for
So he calls it the procrastination pitful right
And that's what we get caught up in the eighty percent
The low value activities that make us feel like we're getting things done right
But we're really not making significant progress towards our goals
You know it's funny
Because i think we've all been there like you know he's like an hour organizing your desk
Oh Yeah
You have this like big project looming over your head
Exactly
And it feels productive
Yeah
But is it really moving the needle right
That's the question
Yeah And
And brian trache really encourages us to identify what he calls us vital few goals
Yeah
And i think that's such a powerful concept uh
Because it's really that twenty percent
That's going to have the biggest impact
Exactly
So so how do we do that yeah
How do we identify that twenty percent
He is a very interesting exercise
That he recommends okay
I'm ready
Are ready
I'm all about actionable steps this here okay
I'm ready
是的 这的
Right down ten goals that you're currently working on
Okay
Now got it here comes the powerful question
Okay
If i could only accomplish one of these goals within the next twenty four hours
Wow
Which one would have the greatest positive impact on my life
So you're really forcing yourself to prioritize you are and choose that one goal
That if you achieve it
Yeah
We really make the biggest difference right
And it's not just about identifying the big goal
It's also acknowledging those other goal that maybe seem important
Yeah
But maybe aren't really moving you forward as significantly
So you're distinguishing between those vital few
Yeah
And what he calls the trivial many
And i think that's such a powerful
And he says this is one of the key differences between people who achieve extraordinary results and those who just stay busy
And he talks about a study in this video
Yeah
The thought was so interesting
And he was looking yeah
The goal setting habit of rrich poor people and the results were they were fascinating werenthey pretty i opening yeah
Eighty five percent of rich people have one big goal that they consistently work on ow
Compared to only three percent of four people
It's such a small small centage
No of course correlation doesn't equal causation right
It's not like just having one big automamakes you wealthy right
But there's something there
There's something there it's a common thread
Yeah
You see this among successful individuals
So it makes you think what's your one big goal right now so and are you giving it enough attention
Exactly
And i think that something everyone listening
Should really think about absolute kind
Kind tize into another point
He makes about the importance of starting strong
Yes
Like he's a big advocate for not clearing up all those like little pempting tasks first thing in the morning
Right
Why is that so important
Well
It's all about momentum in mindset
Okay
When we start a day with low value tasks
It create a kind of inertia
Yeah
We get sucked into that easy stuff but hotally
And then it becomes harder to switch years
Yeah
To those more challenging impacful tasks
It's almost like we're training our brains to prioritizthe ququick ins
Yes ah the long term gains yeah
And he says
When we tackle those big important tasks early in the day
We not only get them out of the way
But we also create this like positive ripple effect
It's like a sense of accomplishment yeah
It gives you energy and motivation
It's so true to keep going in yeah
And this is also fascinating
And before we move on
I want to highlight a quote from brian tracy that really resonated with me
He says
The greatest killer is that we become so involved in little things and at little things
Multiply they just accome more and more
And at the end of the day
You're exhausted
And you accomplished nothing
I love that quote yeah
And i think that really incapsulates
It like you can be busy
You can be so busy
But are you actually productive right busyiness not equal productivity yeah
And i think that's a great place to pause for it
Now we've covered a lot of ground in this first part of our deep dive
We have 've talked about the origins of the eighty twenty rule right
The procrastination pit fall
Yes
The importance of identifying our vital few goals
Yes
Ah and start and strong
Yes
But this is just the tip of the ice spead exactly and the next part of our deep dive will delt deeper into some practical strategies
I love it for applying the eighty twenty rule
Yes to achieve extraordinary results
Can't wait
So stay tuned everybody okay
So let's jump back into our deep dive on the eight twenty role for goal setting
I'm ready to get tactical like how can our listener start putting this into action
Well
We've already touched on one really crucial point okay from brytrtracy
And that is tackling those vital few tasks early in the day
Right it's about resisting that urge to clear the small stuff first thing in the morning
Yes
Yes can
Can often lead us down a rabbhole
Oah ah busy work
I've definitely been guilty of i mean stararthe ly like ababils feelsmall tasks
But then i look up
And it's like two hours later
And i haven't even touch the project that really matters exactly and traczy points out that those small tasks
Yes
They can multiply like rabbits and mean end of of day yewe end up exhausted yes
But with little to show for our efforts right
So he argues that starting with the most challenging task first okay
Can actually create a sense of accomplishment
Right that propels us forward like that all saying eat the frog first exact the hardest thing of the way right
Then the rest of the day feels like a breeze make sense it does
But how do we actually make that happen okay
Because sometimes those big goals can just feel so daunting well
That's where breaking things down becomes essential okay
That's one of the keater energies bran trache recommends k for overcoming procrastination okay
And tackling those vital few al als so instead of looking at the home mountain
We focus on taking one step at a time
Precisely he suggests breaking those big goals down ok into smaller
Yeah
More manageable step yeah
This makes them feel less overwhelming right
And it gives us a clear path to follow
好的好的
I like it
It's like creating a road map for success okay
That's a great analogy
And i think it ties into another important aspect of the eighty twenty role
What and that's focus yes like when we're clear about our vital few goal yeah
We've ve broken them into those action of able steps
Yeah
It becomes so much easier to direct our energy
Where matters most ababsolutely
This is where that intriguing study
Yeah
About rich importor people's goal sesehabits comes back into play okay
Remember eighty five percent of rich people reported having one big goal right that they consistently worked done
So susuggests that a key element of success is not just having a goal
But also like cultivating that focus the discipline and discipline yeah
To consistently work towards it exactly yeah
Now it's important to note
Yeah
That focus doesn't mean
嗯嗯
有rigidity life is unpredictable right things change ged course
But having that core goal in mine right can help guide our decisions in actions okay
Even when we need to adapt our approach
It's like having a compass site keeps us pointed in the right direction
Even when we encounter details along the way i love that analogy and speaking of direction
Yeah
I think it's worth revisiting that powerful closing thought okay
The brian tracy share in the video
He said
When your goals are clear
You will come up with exactly the right answer to achieve your goal at exactly the right time that quote
Really really ck ck me me
Because it suggests that when we're truly aligwith our goals no
And we're taking consistent action
Yeah
The solutions we need will often appear in unexpected ways
It's like the universe conspires to help us
Yes
When we're clear about what we want
It's almost really magior
But is it really magiways
But is just the power of focused intention perhaps
It's a bit of both i like that
But i think the key take away here okay is that
When we combine clarity of goals yeah
With consistent action right
We open ourselves up to possibilities
That we might not have even consider before
And that brings us to an interesting question
Because brian tracy focuses a lot on one big goal right
But could we apply the eighty twenty principal to different areas of our lives
I mean what if we have multiple vital few goals across different moments like our career or relationships
Our health
Our personal growth
That's a great question
And i think it's a valid way to apply the principle yeah
After all the eighty twenty role right isn't about limiting ourselves to a single goal right
It's about identifying the key areas where our efforts will have the greatest impact
So it's not just about having one massive goal yeah
But rather a constellation of goal strategically chosen
I like that across the various facts of our lives
Yes
It's about finding that various spot of focus amounts balance exyeah
Exactly
And this brings this to another crucial aspect highlighted in brytraces video
Okay
The power of starting strong
He's a big advocate for not clearing up the small tempting task first thing in the morning right exactly
And here's why that's so important
Starting your day with low value tasks can actually set the tone oow for the entire day
Okay
It creates a kind of a nurtiwhere you're more likely to continue gravitating totods ds easy y ff yeah
Ah negkecting the val a few few ask ks that truly driyour your progress
It's almost like starting your day with a ggary donor
Instead of a protein act breakfast
That's a fantastic analogy
You get a quick burst of energy
But it's fleeting
And it doesn't sustain you for the long hall
Exactly the key take away here okay is that by tackling your most challenging in important tasks right early in the day you said yourself up per success got ah you game a sense of accomplishment
You build momentum yeah
And you create a positive people effect it's so true of the rest year day yeah
And on the flip side constantly putting off the impimportant stuff can create a sense of overwhelm
And and procrarastination can become a vicious cycle yeah
The longer we avoid those crucial task
And the more daunting they seen yeah
And the more likely we are to continue putting them off yeah
A slippery slow low
It is a slipperslope that can lead to feelings of infruquacy yes and frustration
So the message here is loud and clear
Don't let those little tasks hijack your day
Exactly prioritize your vital few and tackle them head on it's a simple shift in mindset yeah
But it can have a profound impact on your productivity
Yes overoverall well okay
So to reak out
We've talked about breaking down big goals
Focusing on the vital few yes and starting strong
What other practical strategies get our listeners used to leverage the eighty twenty rule in their own lives
Well with brbrtraces emphasizes right of the importance of constantly evaluating and adjusting our approach okay
Remember the eighty twenty rule is a principle
Not a rigid formula
Right
It's about being mindful of where our efforts are yielding the greatest results
And being willing to shift our focus as needed
About being adaptable and recognizing that what works in one situation might not work in another
Exactly
And it's about being honest with theourselves about what's truly moving the needle and what's just keeping as busy
Yeah
Sometimes we need to let go of activities or goal
There are no longer serving us
Even if they were once part of our vital fuyou
I can be tough
It's like admitting that something we've invest in time and energy into isn't paying off the way
We hoped it can be challenging
Yeah
But it's also incredibly liberating
But
But the eighty twenty rule is all about maximizing our effectiveness
And sometimes that means letting go of the things
They're raying our energy and focus right without producing significant results
So it's being really thless with our time and energy
And directing it towards the things that truly matter
Exactly
And i think that's a great segway into the next part of our deep dive
Where we explore how to create an action plan love based on the eighty twenty principle sounds
Great sounds like we have a lot more more pack ack do well come back to the show everybody as we wrap up up deep dive ve into eighty twenty rule for goal seseand um
You know we talk about the principal
Itself the the procrastination pit fall
And really did the importance of focusing on those vital few tasks
Right
But now i want to get superpractical like how can people listening actually create an action plan based on all this
Yeah
That's a great question
Yeah
It's where the rubber really meets the road
是 是
Because it's one thing to understand it conceptually right
But it's another to put it into action
Totally in a way that moves us closer to our goal
So where do we even begin
Do we need some fancy planer
I like aa white board covered in sticky notes
You know not necessarily the beauty of the eighty twenty principle is it's simplicity okay you can start with a fany paper or like it and the first step as britraces susugest is to identify those ten goals al kay that are currently top of mind for you
We've ve taltalked about this
But it's worth emphasizing
Because this is really the foundation
It is for everything else is the starting point
Okay
Lelet's we have have a list of ten als
Als what's next right
So now comes the crucial part applying that eighty twenty lands oah to prioritize ed rei mber that powerful question that brian tracy pose
Yeah
If i could only accomplish one of these goals within the next twenty four hours
Which one would have the greatest positive impact on my life
That really forces you to get clear on what matters most it does
And you've identify that top goal
Yeah
You can repeat the process okay the pin point your second most impacackful goal and so on got it
And this helps you create a hierarchy
Oh
Separating those vital few from the trivial many
So we're essentially ranking our goals in terms of their potential impact
Exactly
But what about goals als
Don't
Don't make it into the vital few
So we just abandon them
Altogether that's a good question
It's not necessarily about abandoning them entirely okay
It's more about reckking nizing
That they might might not deserve our immediate attention
So maybe putting them on the back burner for now
And really focusing our energy on the ones
That are most likely to move the needle
Exactly
It's about being strategic with our time and erergy recogzing that we can't do everything at once
This makes so much sense
But even with our vital few goals identified they can still feel pretty daunting right
Especially if their big ambitious goals right
That's where the next step comes in breaking crebregoals down into smaller more manageable chunks
Uh the classic advice of chunking things down
It's amazing how much more approachable a task
Ks h abthe lutely break it down into those bite size pieces
It really is a game
Changer er and bryan tracy suggest creating a step by step
Man for each of your vital few goals outlining the specific actions
Okay
You need to take to move towards them
So it's i creating a road map
Yes for each goal with those clear milestones along the way
Exactly
And it reminds me of that quote imasion earlier
When your goals are clear
You will come up with exactly the right answer to achieve your goals at exactly the right time
I love that
Because it's like when you have that clear road map
It helps you stay focused
Yes
And it's almost like the so solutions are the resources
You need just appear the right moment as if by magigic can
Can that way it can
Yeah
It's like when you're truly committed to something the universe conspires to help you make it happen
I love that
But even with a plan in place staying motivated and on track can still be a challenge
It can be absolute
So what can help with that well
That's where having a system for accountability and support comes in okay
So what does that look like in practice
It can take many forms
No you even finding in place ability
Ility ner ner
Kay joining aa mastermine group right or even just scheduling regular chekens with yourself thought it to review your progress and make adjustments as needed
So it's like having that builden support system yes to keep us on track yes and celebrate those wins along the way
Exactly
And i think it's important to acknowledge that applying the eighty twenty rule isn't a one time thing
It's an ongoing process yeah of evaluation
Adjustment and refininement
So it's about being adaptable and willing to shift our focus as our priorities eove ve you know as we learn more about ourselves and what works best for us
Exactly and remember the goal isn't to achieve perfect eighty twenty balance in every area of our lives
Yeah
It's about using this principle as a lens to guide our decisions yeah and actions and help us focus on the things that truly matter the sysen's an insighghtful deep dive
It has i feel like we've gone beyond just that surface level understanding of the eighty twenty rule
I greree and really explored its practical applications for goal setting absolutely so to wrap things up what's the one key take away
You want our listeners to walk away with today
I think the most important thing is to remember that the eighty twenty rule isn't about doing less
And about doing more of what matter
Yes
It's about identifying those key areas where our efforts will have the greatest impact
Where being willing to make those tough choices right to prioritize those areas ends about embracing the journey
Yeah knowing that
It's an ongoing choices of burning and growth
I love that beautifully said and with that will bring this deep dive to a close
Thank you all so much for joining us
And keep diving deep
And keep striving for excellence in all areas of your lives
