Most days I’m pretty stretched for time. Business…blogging…family…etc., are all components of my life that need my attention, and that I want to give attention to. So how the hell do you fit health and wellness into that mix when it’s so easily shoved to the side in favor of something else? You need to make the most of your time and focus on the stuff that works.
If you’re not familiar with the Pareto Principle (aka, the 80/20 rule) it pretty much goes like this: 80 percent of the results you get come from 20 percent of the actions taken. So, as examples, 80 percent of a company’s sales come from 20 percent of its clients…80 percent of the wealth in America is owned by 20 percent of the population…and so on.
I don’t know why this works but it does, and for the purposes of this post we’ll leave it at that. Onward…
So, applying this to your exercise regimen/workouts/yoga practice, you want to ferret out the 20 percent or so that gives you 80 percent of the results. Identify and focus on the 20 percent items and you can eventually strip away the excess, shorten your workouts, and save time for the other things in your life. You’ll get 80 percent of the benefit in 20 percent of the time.
