and how to apply it to your daily life.

Today I write about another simple productivity principle: ‘The 80/20 principle’ also known as ‘The Pareto Principle’ invented by Vilfredo Pareto. Why is this an important principle and why do you need to learn to apply this in your daily (working) life?

You can apply it to everything.

Once you learn how to use it correctly, you have so much more time and energy to do important things. In this article we discuss who Vilfredo Pareto is, how to use ‘The 80/20 Principle’ and examples of benefits in daily life.

In my last article I wrote about ‘The Ivy Lee Method’. It is one of the most simple and effective strategies you can use today. Everyday you are setting 6 to-do’s on your to-do list from important to least important. But how do you know what is most important and maybe even more important, most urgent?

Let’s discuss ‘The Eisenhower Matrix’. A simple and effective strategy you can use in your daily and working life.

It is a common thing, when you see a familiar person, and he or she ask you: ‘how are you?’. Your answer is 9 out of 10: ‘good, I’m busy with different projects.’ And after this question we continue our conversation, like nothing happened. Strange, right? We never have the courage to ask: ‘how are you really?’. It saves one word but you create much more connection with the person who’s sitting across the table.

As a business owner I drink regularly coffee with other entrepreneurs or potential clients. And see this thing, ‘I’m busy so I’m good’, happen over…

Happy new year everyone who read this! It is a little late to write that, but who cares. In this first article of 2019 I want to discuss the subject ‘habits’. Everyone has set good intentions for 2019 but we fail to keeping them. A good intention is nothing more then changing a habit. One of the most populair ones is losing weight or quit smoking. Before we discuss how you stop smoking or losing weight. Let’s break down the term ‘habit’.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Nevertheless I write this article today because I had inspiration for a new piece of content. I sat down in the bus this afternoon and I was swiping on my phone. I realise that I live almost for 19,5 years on this globe. That is almost two decades.

When I had that big realisation I start thinking about the lessons I have learned…

I know, about this subject is so much written already. But it’s a subject were so much people talk about daily. I want to share my thoughts with you about it.

I believe in setting goals. I believe also that achieving your goals is not the most important thing. It is a cliche but true: the road towards your goals is much more important.

How do you get there?

What do you need for your route you want to make with your goals in mind? …
