Before this, I have a wrong mindset about how we should work for our goal. I used to believe that we must work really hard and spend all our time to do something for our dreams and goals. Besides sleeping and eating, We must spend all our time and day to exchange for our goals. If not we would fail.

This mindset really gives me a lot of problems and holds me back from achieving what I really want. I am a person who cannot live without having some personal time to do what I love to or relax myself. In fact, I think many people is like me. This is why many people feel hard to achieve their goals. Since it is so hard to take action, no body will do it except they know the comfortable way to do so.

It can be Easy to Achieve Our Goals too

I like to enjoy my life by having a relax and grateful day. So I can’t work well if I have stress. I will give up if I know I have to spend all my time to do something for my goals without having my own personal time. Maybe I’m not motivated enough but don’t you think it will be nice to have a theory that can let us achieve our goal without sacrifice all of personal time?

This is why I really excited the time I found Richard Koch’s 80/20 rules and the book 4 hours work week. Actually both of them are teaching the theory to apply 80/20 rules in our time management so that we can achieve our goal and at the same time enjoy our life. With this theory, I can enjoy my day and also approaching my goal to achieve what I want. It really easy for me to follow this theory too!

The Theory of 80/20 Time Management Skills

The main theory in 80/20 rule in time management is spending 20% of your time to gain 80% of the results. All we have to do is spending 20% of our time to do whatever it takes to approach our goals and still be able to enjoy ourselves for rest of the time. We just need to spend 20% of our time for our goals and still have 80% of time to do whatever we want to!

There are a few rules and tips you must follow in order to have tremendous results from this theory. Well you are spending less time to do your works, so you must do the right things each time in your working hours so that you have the maximum results. Here are the tips:

1. Do Less But Gain More. You must be clear with your goal and understand that what kind of works can let you success. You must learn how to different what kind of works can let you approach your goal the most and concentrate on it. For example, if you want to make more money from your business. Then you have to know what kind of activities are profitable and concentrate on it. Maybe you can call your customers or send an offer emails to them. Just allocate 20% of your time mainly focus on these kind of activities and you can really make your money in the most relax way.
2. Every Little Counts. This is a work out theory for lazy man like me. It means that every day you just do a minor progress and you will have great results after doing it for quite some time. For example you want to write a book, so every day you can just write 1 page and contribute to the project. After 1 year of time, you will have 300 over pages on your hand and your book is ready.
3. Just do it. Usually we are worry too much before we take any actions. Our mind usually keep thinking whether what we are doing is working and worry what you will do is useless. Instead of wasting time to think about it why don’t you just do it. We only have 20% of time to do whatever we can for our projects. If you just use this limited time for thinking and worrying, then you will not going anywhere for years and just wasting your life. Just do it and be ready to change and modify your plan if you encounter any problems. At least you are taking action towards your goal and not wasting time in thinking. Thinking won’t help you to achieve anything from your life.

We must Work Consistently and Not Hard

As I said in my post , we must build the motivation so that we can take action consistently. Therefore we must think a way to let ourselves take action easily. When you can take action easily and accomplish your tasks, you will be motivated to take even more actions and increase the speed to succeed.  80/20 rules can help us and it can let us work in the way that is relax and happy. I would recommend this theory to anyone who wants to fight for your their dreams.
