No. If done properly that’s the BEST upside. Assuming your thinking is actually effective and has yield, it means it’s a preparatory fundamentals of a task. You are perfecting your workflow and readiness to engage, as well as feedback loop for improving your improvement. The only way you can assume that it’s useless is if your FIRST analysis of important contributing factors is 100% correct.

I'm quite old now, but will attest to the priciples of this philosophy. When I worked I only 6 hours a day for 4+ days a week. How was this, I didn't waste time driving in grid-lock traffic so I would arrive about 10am, when in the office I would leave about 4pm. However, I worked like a whirlwind for those 6 hours, nothing got in my way, not Lunch or anything. In that time I set my appointments for the week and rarely went to the office until Friday. I generally earnt 2 to 3 times the average, I disposed of my mortgage thirty years ago, I love paying all my bills when or before they're due, so I have zero debt, money in the bank, and really don't give a darn about material things. It's all in the attitude. Do what you have to do, be effective, then spend real time with your loved ones, go out sailing or whatever. Gain Contentment.

What a great explanation. Thank you for this!

[@prodrivebrasil]

I agree that the 80/20 rule is very useful, but I don't agree that is that linear as the video says. For instance, despite the fact that I agree that a book may have the most important information in 20% of its pages, you don't get the same result going straight to these pages because context that the other pages gives you is, sometimes, very important in order to really understand the 20% most important pages. In the example of the shoes, I do use 80% more one of my shoes when 80% of the time the weather gives me conditions to do so. If I donate my other shoes than I would no longer have impermeable shoes for rain, or lightweight shoes for cycling (what I don't do 80% of the time, hence I don't use it as much). Other than that, when the season changes, it also changes the amount of time I use each of my shoes, balancing the amount the time I use all of them during the year. It's not linear, but indeed an important rule.

[@TAHJBecomeYourBestSelf]

You can use in 80/20 rule in your study life. Some people think that studying for 20 hours straight will make them ace their exams. Nah, study says it's better to study for no more than an hour.. so you can study three hours a day, 1 hour each, with breaks and achieve the an A, than staying up 20 hours or studying for 20 hours straight and getting like a C or B- ... Besides, studying for long periods without breaks , drains your energy and eventually your focus will be drained too and you'll end up not getting the information.. So do more by doing less, by studying for an hour each time, with breaks and ace your exams. I will soon start a student series on my channel. Thanks for this video, it inspired me to.

[@Scrambled_Eggs69]

You're talking about the promodoro technique.

[@JediMasterVictor]

Actually, using the Pomodoro technique (you can look it up) will allow you to maximize your time effectiveness. In a nutshell, work/study 25 minutes, take a break for 10 minutes; after four cycles, the break is 20-25 minutes long, then you start again. I have used this technique for years now and it works perfectly for maximum productivity. There are apps for all platforms that help you keep track of your time cycles. Enjoy!

Only a male thinks sex can be short. Lesbians do an hour at least on a slow night. 2-3 hours on a weekend day and the occasional 5-8 hour day. Only men are limited by their bodies and inability to understand what their partner is feeling

[@cecosvidovski]

​@@camogrrl or just have more time doing sex than getting their shit together... I mean 5-8h a day?.. If u have sex for 8 hours/day, sleep 6 h/day and in the best scenario work a 6h job u end up with 4 hours to eat/shower/do other things than sex... I mean u have to be a porn star to live that life. Also how can u tell that a male can't understand their partner's feelings given the fact that u r a lesbian? Even if u have had sex with a male before that doesn't mean every one is the same. Between males and females there is a natural chemistry which if not present or as an example you have a boyfriend that doesn't share the same feelings as u do, it is completely normal that he doesn't understand u. I have had sex with a girl and she finished like 4 times and the she gave me a bj in order for me to finish. And don't talk sht about males because if there were no males then u weren't even going to exist... Same applies the other way.

[@Bhuvan_MS]

Well basically it's similar to making notes during class. It contains 80% of the information and it requires 20% effort to learn that as you don't need to search for important points as well as less effort to understand as it is your notes. But you might miss out a few important points in textbooks. I would suggest to first read the notes and then refer to the textbook for a complete gist of the chapter.

@@Lhbalologie There is more than one way to read a book. You don't have to read it from back to cover. By reviewing table of contents you can already see what each chapter is about and then you can decide if you want to learn more about it. Skimming through the book for just 20 minutes can already give you a huge overview about everything the book is about. Also usually the last few pages of each chapter give a brief summary about that chapters content. Some books even have a summary of each chapter in the back.

The way I always saw it was that my bills are going to be due regardless, I rather pay them early and not deal with them in the future, my utilities are paid up 6 months in advance to where I don't worry about them being due and gives me all the free time to focus on other things with now worries.

Here's some insight on applying this principle consistently and repeatedly. Particularly geared at everyone complaining about repetition in this video. 1. Surely it's more efficient to repeat the most useful 20% of information with slight variations than add 80% of pointless filler surrounding the topic. 2. Surely people should rather apply this in their own lives than keep looking for a lot of somewhat useful information on how to improve their lives. 3. Surely people should actually make something of their lives instead of watching 4 more youtube videos on how to do it. 4. Surely you should just stick to the relevant information and repeat it to succeed. 5. Surely people need to follow a good recipe in their lives to succeed and not try to understand every bit of information involved. 6 (BONUS): Don't complicate things for no reason and embrace repetition instead of studying all that 80%.

I said because I grew up with one, and when I have my friend over for movie nights or watch parties I want it to feel like that He says how often do you have your friends over I said once or twice a month. He said many do you usually have over. I said 4,5 but sometimes 8,9 he says ok. So buy your furniture for the 4,5 you have over all the time and on the few occasions you have the extra people over, go to the kitchen or dining room and bring those chairs up for them to sit. Plan for the everyday, adjust for the occasional. So I bought 2 sofa and a love seat, that I can rearrange in for more variations than I could a wrap around sofa, when I change the room around I think of this guy And that tip influences my purchases of everything now plan for the everyday and adjust for the occasional.

I don't know if it's just me, but the fact that this video content really describes your own channel really gave me chills Cool vids btw, love it ❤🔥🔥

[@Adam_Adamsky]

6:59 Don't bother about the 80% of the likes - just take care of the most important 20%. It'll save you a lot of time asking for those "likes" & "subs". :)

[@ossol-zy3qq]

Thanks for the video, it reflects lot of dedication and time. Subscribed and take your like!

[@tommyRfrancis]

Great explanation, thank you 👍🏼

[@thisisnahian6753]

The 20% of this video contains the zeist and that starts from 5:04

[@engr.marlonnaive6854]

I always love this concept

[@GalileonPrime]

This is a great philosophy for those folks who believe "good enough" is all you need in life.

[@qmurec]

But, coming back to your shoes example: what if I were to eliminate the 80% unused shoes from my inventory and I am only left with the 20% I use 80% of the time...does the pareto principle still apply? Will this result in a Zeno's Pareto principle where I will eliminate 80% of my belongings successively until almost nothing is left? :D

[@Leo-uy4qv]

Well if you have 10 pairs of shoes and eliminate 8 , you are left with 2 pairs , which in term you will use 1 pair , 4-5 days a week. 70% of 7 is around 4.5 days

[@gordz2]

My thoughts exactly. If he carries on throwing away 80% of his shoes he'll eventually be left with less than 1 pair of shoes.

[@myroncaptures]

Damn yes this is a great point... I guess just don't think about it too literally?

[@NecookieMonster]

i had no idea i was already applying the pareto principle from the very beginning. few years ago i realized that i could learn any skill and be better than 90% of the population by spending 20% of time while it's going to take another 80% of time just to get the 99% percentile of any given skill.

[@bosongod2830]

What do you mean, you only learnt 20% of the skill?

[@kimberlykimmons]

At first I read the title as “Do more by doing lines” Uh...I guess that would do it.

[@AnuragGupta-rh4jl]

I've been applying it without even knowing the rule.😄

[@ts9749]

Directions unclear: I threw out the shoes I don't use often but when winter came I did not have boots to go around with.

[@pandora5526]

same for celebration's shoes

[@rabeebibrat1805]

😂😂😂

[@EasyArtforKids]

im a believer of this principle and ur video explains it well.....indeed 20percent of the videos in my channel gives me 80percent views

[@Kyarrix]

It's far better to be responsible and learn all of what you are meant to learn. If you think that 80% is sufficient, you aren't someone I want to interact with. I'm an attorney. I research 100% of every case I take and I give every case my full attention. That is what the client is paying for and what I am obligated to give under the law. I would do it even if I wasn't required to because it is right. In a similar vein, when I go to the doctor I don't want them to have passed their boards by learning 70 or 80% of the material. Do you want to trust luck or have to hope that your symptoms fall in the mean? Pray that whatever is wrong with you is something that is wrong with 70% of patients so the doctor will recognize it? Based on what you are suggesting, 30% of the patients would die because their symptoms would not be typical and therefore would be considered meaningless, not worth learning about. Imagine your software engineer not bothering to learn to code completely. 70% is good enough right? No, it's not nearly good enough, not in any area regardless of complexity. The person who designs your house, the builder, the electrician, do you want any of these people to be about 70% at their job? Are you okay with 80%? Your house is 80% to code, it might burn down but 80% of the time it won't. All of this lead up is to explain that the Pareto Principal is an aphorism, it has general applicability as a means of predicting outcomes. It isn't general life advice or a suggestion as to how much effort to put forth when learning. This is an important distinction. It's a mistake to apply it to other areas of life and irresponsible to suggest that people read 20% of a book because they'll glean "most" of the value of it, especially where students are concerned. Predicting outcomes is different from learning. Because you can get more work done in less time if you focus on the important things doesn't equate to "Don't bother reading your whole textbook because 20% of it will give you enough to go on." Presenting the Pareto principle as means of saving time for students is an error, it is a useful means of predicting outcomes, not general life advice for students. One last point, with regard to performing a Pareto analysis on your friends. Again, this is reducing something complex to a simple outcome analysis and for that reason there are problems with it. If a friend has just had a baby or is going through a divorce or has a sick parent or child, they aren't going to be giving me as much joy, as much bang for my buck, as a friend in a different phase of their life. If I go by a strict Pareto analysis I would cut back on the time I spend with the bereaved, sick or depressed friend. That would be wrong. We all find ourselves in different roles at different times in friendships. There are times we will give and others when we will lean on our friends. A strict Pareto analysis wouldn't take any of this into consideration. As with studying, it looks at data and does an analysis. If you're using it in the right context, it's useful but it's also limited. In the above analysis with friendships, if you have 20 years worth of data and one friend consistently takes and doesn't give, that would be relevant, but even in that situation there could be additional data that the analysis would not be able to include. Use the Pareto principle on questions of data, not in areas with additional complexities that can't be taken into consideration. I spent time on this comment because I thought the video offered potentially damaging advice, perhaps inadvertently. Towards the end he says that the Pareto principle can be applied to every area of life. This is not good advice. He says to cut back on the time you spend with the 80% of friends without regard to why or what the specific situation is or even whether you are part of that 80% vis-a-vis other friends at times. This is the danger of taking something and applying it to everything. If you have a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail. The Pareto principle, like a hammer, is a useful tool for specific situations. But every situation is not a nail. Friendships are far more complex. Studying shouldn't be reduced to how much you can get in a short period of time, not if you want to be good at the thing you are doing and in many professions lives will depend on it. It seems as though the video's creator learned about the Pareto principle and found it interesting and exciting, so much so that It became the proverbial hammer and every life issue a nail. This video is a couple of years old, it would be interesting to know how his views may have evolved.

[@scaldygains6572]

If your comment was 20% as long i would have bothered reading it

[@eklipsegirl]

This is the best comment here and it’s even better than the video itself. I didn’t like the video and you helped me realize what exactly is wrong with it. Thank you!

[@hvgxjoyvjkmvxdtezfhijn]

i really appreciate that u took this much time to write so much

[@trentalexander2413]

I concur with your assessment. Generalization should be valued only as a generalization and not an objective truth.

[@nicolaskoch-z9p]

god damn@@scaldygains6572

[@katyusa9832]

I understand the Pareto Technique rn! Now i can apply this to my Study Session, Thank you!

[@ncedwards1234]

You guys: 80/20 effect Me, an intellectual: 4 effect

[@senbebe3320]

😂👏🏻

[@Mavrik9000]

If you think more about the concept you might find that the important ratio is stated in reverse, so the 1/5 effect might be a better description.

[@TheIndogamer]

4 effect or 0.25 effect

[@themindhelp9584]

:)))))))))))))))

[@maryfowles807]

80% of my cleaning time is taken up by 20% of the tasks : dishes piling up and clothes piling up. I eliminated the problem by only using 1 plate, bowl and cup from now on and putting the rest in the cupboard now I never have to do a pile of dishes. I took out only my top 20% of clothes and put the rest in a separate storage area. Now I never have laundry and piles of clothes stacking up.

[@mehakkhakra9812]

Living for his accent💝💝💝

[@baseddesigner]

I seem to have perfected this one over the last year, for example, I have only 1 pair of sneakers so it's 100% to 0%, I spend time only with friends who give me the most joy & meaning. For books, I didn't read a single book from start to end for years now: I'm scanning it and reading only parts that I need/want. Also skip seconds in videos. The point is not to get 80% of the value with 20% of the effort, but to do it all as efficiently as possible, not spending any extra time just to complete a book because you read the book not to complete it but to learn (for example)

[@SuryanshTutorials]

I wear 1% of my clothes 100% of the time

[@excellentenglishcenter3312]

I study 20% of school subjects harder than 80% of others. Now I've become master of it

[@mohnishkumar]

Can u make a video about how to invest your time when u r in school or college

[@TAHJBecomeYourBestSelf]

This video inspired me to start one on my channel, but I won't release the videos until August when school is around the corner.

[@BetterThanYesterday]

Thanks for the suggestion, might make a video in the future. In the meantime I suggest you check out Thomas Frank's channel, he's all about being productive in school and college :) kzbin.info

[@dontevertouchmyhat1169]

MOHNISH KUMAR Go to Thomas Frank

[@kevinlawrence3105]

As a fisherman, I have 3 tackle boxes but only use 20% of the lures on a regular basis. Clutter and over-purchasing are the norm in a consumptive mindset. I can buy less and replace just my favorites.

[@thepikeangler2022]

But didn't you have to buy those lures to find which 20% are good.? I'm up to 5 boxes and are still can't catch a fish!

[@lifetheuniverseandothercra4581]

You could use the why do today what u could put off tommorow rule

[@JacoboCastroCristo]

The 20% of this video contains the important information, the other 80%...... you get the point.
