The Pareto Principle, popularly known as the 80/20 rule, suggests that as much as 80% of our outputs are a result of only 20% of our efforts. When applied to personal development, this implies that some basic habits, if adhered to regularly, can yield disproportionate benefits for your mental well-being, relationships and life in general.
Of course, with social media and constant comparison, we’re more likely than ever to get lost in the sea of elaborate morning routines, costly supplements or new productivity apps. Psychological studies, however, still seem to maintain that deeper and basic, underlying practices are what hold the potential to irrevocably transform the manner in which you navigate life.
This transformation is hardly ever about discovering the ideal habit. Rather, it’s about determining the ones with high leverage that will cause a ripple effect of positive changes in all surrounding areas of your life.
