Day 5 Journal Challenge: The 80/20 Rule

“Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.” -- Nido Qubein

The 80/20 rule explains why I'm getting no where fast. This challenge came at a good time for me. I set my goals on a 19-day schedule, with a daily to do list based on that schedule. After asking myself "Which tasks are directly related to what I most want in life? " I realized I was putting the important tasks at the bottom of the list and not the top. When I work on my goals, I work from the top down with the highest priority goals at the top.

I begin a new 19-day period on the evening of September 26 (I'm working on a solar day from sunset to sunset). I will rewrite the next 19-day goals so that the highest priority items are on top and the lowest on bottom. In the mean time, I will just work with the present list the way it is and work around the "screwed up" priorities. I keep my "to do list" in an excel spread sheet and make daily entries on the achievements. This way I can bring myself to account each day.
