The 80/20 of Work Systems: What Actually Matters Most

Do you feel like you’re spending more time organizing your work than actually getting it done? In this episode of the Get Organized at Work Podcast, host Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt shares how the 80/20 rule applies to productivity and leadership systems. You’ll learn which work systems actually stick—your calendar, a single task hub, and a consistent meeting rhythm—and how they drive 80% of your results. Through real leader examples, Kayla shows you how to simplify your systems, avoid “busy organizing” that wastes time, and focus on what truly moves the needle. If you’re ready to build sustainable workflows, increase productivity, and get organized at work, this episode will help you streamline your approach and lead with confidence.
