I was obsessed with the 80/20 rule that I read anything about it. Then I realized I spent 80% of my time reading about it and only 20% actually applying it 😂
My personal opinion is it makes a good starting point. Further examination adjusts the percentages to be greater or lesser making the split more accurate. Basically it is like all heuristics, useful to make an on the fly judgement but not to make precise decisions. Precise decisions require precise information.
And furthermore, as a superior, 20% of your staff not only cause 80% of your problems and use up 80% of your precious time, they are also responsible for 80% of your quality issues and 80% of your absentism rate. I found that out, after having statistically analyzed these figures in different teams.
A LOT of companies rely on this to justify all kinds of poor management choices, like distribution of bonuses and raises, firings and hiring, promotions, and customer service. It is far better to do the research and statistical analysis.
80% of people will make the error of conflating category with entity. E.g., the 20% of Italians who own 80% of Italy change over time (because of death, bankruptcy, etc.).
I use the rule as a way to constantly prioritize, to do this you have to keep determining the 20%, you can't do it just once, and of course, for the rule to work, issues/customers/etc can't all be equal
I see this at work...20% of us provide 80% of the productivity. Seeing as the remaining 80% of people get to stay and be lazy/useless, can you guess who's productivity has dropped off over the years? My favourite response these days is "As soon as you get the rest of the crew doing that/that much, I'll join in."
Technically, there is. If you know the basics or fundamentals of a given subject (i.e. the "20%") you either already know or easily deduce a large remainder of said subject (i.e. the "80%"). For example, if you know the basic facts of WWII, you should be able to deduce the answer to the majority of the answers on a WWII test without having to study or memorize those particular answers and questions. Problem is so many districts (at least in the US) focus on getting kids to be "creative" that learning, memorizing, and utilizing the basics gets pushed to the side. As a result, you get kids who can create a bunch of projects, but never actually know what is their project was about.

If, say, at a seminar you figure that 80% the time someone is talking it's just someone from a narrow 20% group of seminar attendants and that group doesn't include you, you can feel demotivated and end up musing that the world is unfair, etc. You could, instead, just speak up and alter the dynamic. Basically, any time the Pareto principle is used to slot oneself or someone else as _inevitably_ being part of the 20% or the 80%, giving up on any more fine-grained analysis, it is used poorly (even when used correctly).
The comments are full of people complain about how this has been used to make/justify poor business decisions and practices, perhaps there is something there.
I have a rule : try to focus on 3 things you want to accomplish in one day , if you manage to be successful in two , your batting average is up there with Babe Ruth. Multiple your average by the days you work or do your thing.
Knowing that the 80/20 Rule exists doesn't make life or work easier. It's not easy to understand what falls within the 20%. Imagine being given some work, and you decided to spend time trying to apply this rule. While you're still figuring things out, your boss comes to see your progress. Good luck telling your boss that you were trying to use the 80/20 rule and haven't started working yet
But you _have_ started working. Your premise seems to me to be eminently sensible. Start by extracting the top twenty percent most salient points and then edit, include or bin the rest, as appropriate.
its negligible but alot of these numbers tend towards 21 percent, so if we do follow this rule, its better to trend towards more work rather than less..
Very interesting concept. Perhaps explained by some universal but yet to be explained phenomenon of human consciousness. Perhaps related to social conformity theories as shown in the Asch and other similar experiments.
No, it's far more likely based in the science of chaos and associated fractal patterns which are an emergent property observable in both natural and human-developed systems.
I coached my kid’s soccer team a couple years ago, more or less 20% of the players scored 80% of the goals. Of course there were variables like if they played as attackers or defenders, but the 80/20 rule was applicable.
Pareto principle is particularly applauded and approved by the 80% who pat themselves on the back and see themselves as the 20%. Ouch, I banged my rule of thumb.
Pareto found the rule was different in different countries. In Eastern Europe it was a 90%/10% rule; 90% of the land was owned by 10% of the population. In the UK it was a 70%/30% rule; 70% of the land was owned by 30% of the people.
Always thought of this ratio to the difference between college an university, where colleges are 20% theoretical, and 80% practical, and vice versa for university.
I refuse to believe in the universal use of this rule. I can see that it may be true for some cases but it looks very to be useful in limited circumstances.
Is the warning of Pareto maybe worth another video? I've often heared of paretos principle but never of that warning and it sounds like it applies to many cases.

1:33 Pareto warning: idolworshippers used to hide behind idols and didnt accept true religion islam. Now those idolworshippers know that idols r not gods so they hide behind darwin. when darwin will get proved wrong, they will find sth else
what are you referring to? The pareto principle is based on work done by statistician Vilfredo Pareto in the 19th century.. it's statistical, not random. what does a farm have to do with it?
Besides being an economist, Pareto was also a sociologist. Sociology gave him an opportunity to theorize about man and society in a way different than most economists, who wrongfully view people as always-rationally-acting-creatures. On the other hand, Pareto stressed man's irrational behavior and his proclivity to interpret this type of behavior as rational. He taught that society is unavoidably divided into elites and masses and that all those Marxist dreams about egalitarian society are mere wishful thinking. When you think of it, it seems that Pareto actually taught that his principle applies to society - elites are the 20% of general population doing the 80% of the most creative work.
It may not be exactly 20%, in some cases it may be 5% in other cases it may be 35%, but as a general principle it holds true, regardless of the actual number.
This does not mean you need to focus only on the 20% rather you have to go through the entire process. However many processes are structured in a way so this asymmetry between outcomes and inputs occurs. So get used to life being this way
I wonder if this rule really just results from normal distribution statistics. Of any normal distributed sample 80% will be about 1.5 standard deviations from the mean, leaving 20% in the extreme tails beyond 1.5 standard deviations (Roughly). So saying 20% of the work leads to 80% of the outcome is erroneous. You still have to do 100% of the work, you can't cherry pick that magic 20% out of the sample. Really its of your total work, 80% will be representative of your mean productivity with 20% being outliers from extreme good or bad performance. So if you can figure out why 20% of your work was abnormal and mitigate that you can potentially improve your mean productivity. Goes to show patience, perseverance, and planning are the main ps of productivity.
