Shownotes Transcript

Welcome to our Friday Philosophy episode where we muse on a new mental model, explore our favorite frameworks, and discuss the unique habits and rituals of creatives and entrepreneurs we admire.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a never-ending loop without making progress on things that really matter to you?

Sometimes, we mistakenly believe that putting in tons of effort will magically lead to the outcomes we want. Yet often, it’s 20% of our actions that generate 80% of what we’re after.

That's why this week, we're delving into the Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 rule to show you how this framework may alleviate burn out in unsuspecting ways.

Key takeaways from today’s episode:

  • Learn how to apply this rule to your emotional well-being, your relationships, creating a capsule wardrobe, and many more
  • An alternative way to think about expending your energy and energetic wave, and spend more time on what brings you joy

How might you apply this rule in other areas of your life? We’d love to hear from you 🙂 Let us know and ⁠⁠⁠⁠send us a DM on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠send us a note here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)!
