The 80/20 Audit

Someone sent me this audit years ago -- I don't know the source.  It is based on the Pareto Principle:  Wilfred Pareto, a nineteenth-century economist, discovered that 80% of the world’s wealth was owned by only 20% of the world’s population. He then went on to find that this 80/20 rule seemed to hold true in many other areas of life as well.  80% of a business's profits come from 20% of it's customers.  We wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time.  I always find that the last 20% of a project takes 80% of the time.
​
It’s a good idea to look at your own life with this 80/20 rule in mind.

Where is your energy being used up? Where is your joy coming from? Take some time to write down the answers to the following questions:
  • Who are the 20% of the people in your life that are causing 80% of your stress?
  • What are the 20% of your activities and situations that cause 80% of the stress you experience?
  • What are the 20% of your activities and areas of your life that result in 80% of your good results?
  • Who are the 20% of the people in your life that bring you 80% of the enjoyment you experience?
  • What are the 20% of your activities that bring you 80% of your joy?
Based on your answers above:
  • What should you be doing less of?
  • What should you be doing more of?
  • Who should you be spending more time with?
  • Who should you be spending less time with? 
  • If you only had six months to live, what would you let go of from your life?
  • Which of those things can you let go of anyway?
