Richard Koch, author of The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Success by Achieving More with Less wrote this list of the top ten highest-value uses of your time.
- Things that advance your overall purpose in life
- Things you have always wanted to do
- Things already in the 20/80 relationship of time to results
- Innovative ways of doing things that promise to slash the time required and/or multiply the quality of results
- Things other people tell you can’t be done
- Things other people have done successfully in a different arena
- Things that use your own creativity
- Things that you can get other people to do for you with relatively little effort on your part
- Anything with high-quality collaborators who have already transcended the 80/20 rule of time, who use time eccentrically and effectively
- Things for which it is now or never
