The 80/20 Audit
Do Less, Win More
Most people try to solve complexity with more effort.
More tools. More tasks. More hours.
But what if the real solution was subtraction?
That’s the 80/20 Principle.
Roughly 80% of your results come from just 20% of your inputs. That means…
80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your products.
80% of your growth comes from 20% of your content.
80% of your happiness comes from 20% of your relationships.
And 80% of your stress? From the other 80% that doesn’t move the needle.
Here’s how I’m using the 80/20 filter right now:
80% of my time is going into YouTube and Notion templates—because they generate the majority of impact and profit.
I’m cutting systems, offers, and workflows that add complexity but don’t convert.
I’m designing dashboards that make it easy to identify the 20% of tasks that actually matter.
Identify the top 20%
Then build your entire calendar around those.
Focus your business and life around the few things that matter most.
If you feel stuck, overworked, or like you’re not making the progress you should—it’s not a productivity issue.
It’s a priority issue.
Your solution isn’t to do more.
It’s to stop doing the 80% that’s giving you scraps,
and double down on the 20% that’s feeding you.
That’s what I’m personally doing, and I’m doing it by integrating these principles into my Life OS dashboard.
So that I can clearly see which tasks are high leverage, and which ones are low leverage, so I can schedule them on my calendar according to the 80/20 principle
If you want me to help you customize and personalize your own Life OS dashboard and integrate your own frameworks & principles to tailor fit your Life OS to how you work and think, then reply “Personalization” and I’ll send you more details.
Less is more.
