Living at the heart of Silicon Valley, I found it difficult to cut through the noise, the hustle and bustle of the city, and the fast-paced lifestyle to stay mindful of what’s bringing me joy and growth on a daily basis.
If you’re also feeling like you’re juggling lots of different things between life and your entrepreneurial journey, keep on reading, because you might just love the practices we developed as much as we do!
To refocus on the impact we’re making, check in on how we’re prioritizing ourselves, and create more growth opportunities, Terrie and I came up with these regular practices to help -
1. Apply the 80/20 principle on things that bring you joy
I picked up this one from the book The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch. Based on the 80/20 principle, 20 percent of everything you spend time doing brings you 80 percent, basically the majority, of joy. This includes any social events, your work, traveling, reading, enjoying music, cooking… literally anything you spend time and energy on in life. Find the 20 percent of activities that you truly enjoy and make the effort and plan to do more of them! Your soul deserves it.
2. Apply the 80/20 principle on things that get you results
Besides the things that bring us joy, we apply the 80/20 principle also on things that drive effectiveness in the work we do. Among all the things you spend your time doing at work, based on this principle, only 20 percent of them bring you the majority of results and impact - 20 percent of your clients bring you 80 percent of sales, 20 percent of your marketing effort brings you 80 percent leads, etc. So, identify the 20 percent of all the things you’re busy doing that are actually effective and do more of them to multiply your results and progress!
3. Remove the 80 percent
How about the 80 percent of activities that don’t bring you joy or the 80 percent of work that bring you more stress than impact? Remove them and edit them out of your life. These activities might be better if they were eliminated, automated or delegated. Put them on your Not-To-Do List (We also got a free template and 6 other productivity tools for you.
