In a world of information overload and analysis paralysis, what if I told you there was a formula to help you decide which things were most worth your time?
I’ve said it before: creative confidence starts with clarity. But how can you find clarity, especially when evaluating your time?
Today I’m going to share a remarkable tool for evaluating anything - from time to energy to the money you invest in your author career. Unlocking this tool will change the way you understand your own efforts.
In this episode, I go into:
√ What is the 80/20 rule or “Pareto principal”? (Don't worry, this isn't a math lesson!)
√ How to apply the 80/20 rule to your writing life: habits, investments (time, energy, and money), choosing what to write next.
√ Applying the 80/20 rule in reverse. Use this trick to determine your top 20%.
Listen now to learn how to apply this formula to your author career!
