Life has a funny way of following a special rule… and it’s happening without you even realizing it.
It’s called the Pareto Principle (aka the 80/20 Rule)—and it says that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts.
And once you see it, you can’t unsee it:
✅ You wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time.
✅ 80% of your screen time comes from 20% of your apps.
✅ You spend 80% of your time with 20% of your people.
✅ 20% of artists create 80% of the music you hear.
So what does this have to do with your health?
Everything!
👉 If 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts, the trick is to focus on what actually moves the needle—and let go of what doesn’t.
For nutrition: Eat nutrient-dense, whole foods 80% of the time. Then you can relax and enjoy a treat meal or two the other 20% (without guilt).
For workouts: You don’t need to spend hours in the gym—or do every exercise known to man. Prioritizing compound movements (like squats, deadlifts, and presses) will give you the biggest return for strength and mobility.
For stress & recovery: You don’t need a 10-step wellness routine—just focus on quality sleep, daily movement, and a few minutes of deep breathing to handle 80% of your energy, focus, and resilience.
So, what’s in YOUR 20%?
If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, take a step back.
Ask yourself:
👉 What’s the 20% that actually drives my results?
👉 What’s just taking up energy—but not making a real impact?
When you focus on the right things, you free up time, reduce stress, and—most importantly—get EXPONENTIALLY better results with less effort.
