We tend to think of innovation as difficult, but with the creative use of The 80/20 Principle innovation can be both easy and fun!

What could you achieve that would make you proud, that no one else could do with the same ease?

It is not shortage of time that should worry us, but the tendency for the majority of time to be spent in low-quality ways.

The key is to work out the few things that are really important, and the few methods that will give us what we really want.

There is no shortage of time. In fact, we are positively awash with it. We only make good use of 20 per cent of our time.... The 80/20 principle says that if we doubled our time on the top 20% of activities, we could work a two-day week and achieve 60 per cent more than now.

It may be that you will be happiest in the rat race; perhaps, like me, you are basically a rat.

Hard work leads to low returns. Insight and doing what we want lead to high returns.
