19. Pareto analysis
• This is the idea that 80% of tasks can be completed in
20% of the disposable time, and the remaining 20% of
tasks will take up 80% of the time.
• This principle is used to sort tasks into two parts.
• According to this form of Pareto analysis it is
recommended that tasks that fall into the first category
be assigned a higher priority.
• It depend

20. Pareto analysis
The 80-20-rule can also be applied to increase
productivity: it is assumed that 80% of the
productivity can be achieved by doing 20% of the
tasks.
Similarly, 80% of results can be attributed to 20% of
activity.
If productivity is the aim of time management, then
these tasks should be prioritized higher.

• Prioritize your list and Plan your week.
• Spend some time at the beginning of each
week to plan your schedule.
• Carry a notebook.
• Write down those great ideas and brilliant
insights (capture your thoughts).
• Learn to say no.
• Say no to low priority requests.

32. Activity # 01
6,400
Tell participants they have $86,400.00 to spend anyway
they wish. The only restrictions are that they cannot
bank any money and if they do not use any of the money
they lose it. We then discuss why and how they spent the
money the way they did. I then tell them that 86400 are
the number of seconds we have each day and that as
often as possible they should consider spending their
time on things that are important to them as they did
with their money.

33. Activity # 02
• HOW LONG IS A MINUTE?
• At the beginning of session I ask people to close their eyes for
30 seconds and after that to open it. Nobody can watch the
clock and I don’t measure the time. All I ask of participants is
to open their eyes after what they believe has been 30 seconds.
• Of course, they all open them at different times. Afterwards,
we talk about our understanding of time. Even though
everyone has an equal (24 hours a day or 30 seconds for
excercise), in fact, we experience it and use it in different
ways. Some of us experienced it as a short period, other as a
long. This always works as a good opener.
