Organize Using the 80/20 Rule!

I am fascinated by the Pareto Principle, which is also known as the 80/20 rule!  This article explains it well, but, in its organizing essence, it means that for 80% of our time, we use the same 20% of our things.   In other words: ·       80% of the time, people wear the…
