Hi everyone,
2
00:00:02.717 --> 00:00:03.758
Malu speaking.
3
00:00:04.479 --> 00:00:06.601
I'm the author of Life's Notebook.
4
00:00:07.722 --> 00:00:09.864
Welcome to the Elevation Grades.
5
00:00:11.226 --> 00:00:13.128
I speak about career,
6
00:00:13.909 --> 00:00:15.710
science and well-being.
7
00:00:16.511 --> 00:00:16.731
Okay,
8
00:00:17.092 --> 00:00:17.352
enough.
9
00:00:17.632 --> 00:00:18.193
Let's talk.
10
00:00:22.168 --> 00:00:31.556
The Pareto rule is the 80-20 rule which is applied in business and which you can also apply in your personal life.
11
00:00:31.996 --> 00:00:46.067
I find it personally very useful because the Pareto rule asserts basically that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.
12
00:00:46.448 --> 00:00:46.568
So,
13
00:00:47.356 --> 00:00:51.018
80% of happiness from 20% of effort,
14
00:00:51.118 --> 00:00:54.579
that is absolutely amazing.
15
00:00:58.821 --> 00:01:02.422
I have applied it in several areas of my life,
16
00:01:02.482 --> 00:01:05.103
for example with my wardrobe,
17
00:01:05.744 --> 00:01:16.448
which was a nightmare in the morning sometimes when I was faced in front of a full wardrobe and didn't know what to do.
18
00:01:16.468 --> 00:01:16.968
to wear.
19
00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:26.515
So I got rid of 80% of my clothes and concentrated on the 20% which gave me 80% of happiness.
20
00:01:26.975 --> 00:01:32.219
Which means that people tell me very often you always look the same because
21
00:01:32.779 --> 00:01:38.143
I very often wear the same kind of clothes because I'm feeling happy,
22
00:01:38.343 --> 00:01:43.026
I'm feeling comfortable with the clothes.
23
00:01:43.466 --> 00:01:45.688
Previously I used to dress up
24
00:01:47.309 --> 00:01:54.455
with other types of clothes which I didn't like and I wasn't feeling well during the day and I thought,
25
00:01:54.535 --> 00:01:54.756
shit,
26
00:01:54.856 --> 00:01:58.259
I get rid of this once and for all.
27
00:01:58.859 --> 00:02:02.443
And so that was an application which was great.
28
00:02:08.268 --> 00:02:12.792
I also apply the Pareto rules to my personal relationships.
29
00:02:13.276 --> 00:02:22.241
I spend my time with 20% of people which give me 80% of my happiness rather than the other way around.
30
00:02:22.801 --> 00:02:27.804
And that has really improved my quality of life.
31
00:02:32.667 --> 00:02:35.388
So I leave you with the following thought.
32
00:02:36.068 --> 00:02:42.232
Have a look of what kind of daily activities and life changes you can...
33
00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:47.165
make today applying the 80-20 rule.
34
00:02:47.365 --> 00:02:57.275
So get rid of the 80% of what makes you unhappy and focus on the 20% of what makes you happy.
