How Can You Live a Happy Life According to the 80/20 Rule

The most important rule for living a happy life is to do what you want to do when you want to do it, and how you want to do it.

It's just that there are things in life that we don't want to do, but we have to do. What happens in this situation? Will we say that we can't live life the way we want to, a happy life, since there are things we have to do, even though we don't want to?

Not at all.

What matters is the percentage of energy and time we give to each individual, and how aware we become that the things we want to do are really important, not the things we need to do.

In other words, we need to treat the things we need to do as such (we need to do them right now) and focus on the things that matter, the things we want to do.

In support of this concept, there is a rule that I will talk about next, a rule that is worth living your life, namely the 80/20 rule, Pareto's rule.

But before that, tell me if you want to:

• Do 20% of the activities you do bring you 80% happiness?

• 20% of your work to bring you 80% of your income?

• 20% of your daily household chores bring you 80% of the benefits of doing things that are needed at home?

• 20% of your friends bring you 80% of the well-being and inspiration you are looking for in friends?

• Do 20% of the activities you do with your life partner bring you 80% of the couple's happiness?

I have good news for you

That's what happens.

20% of the activities we do are responsible for 80% of the results we seek to achieve

Sounds good, doesn't it? We offer little and receive much. We offer 20% and receive 80%.

The problem is this, that we offer too little for the things that matter.

We spend only 20% of our time on what matters most in our lives.

The remaining 80% of our time is redirected to things that are of no interest to our goals or our happiness. These are just details that we get lost in.

Many women have a full-time job and work after work at their own business or hobby. If you are among them, I assume that the rule for you is reversed by 20/80.

You spend way too much time on the job you don't like and spend too little time on what makes you truly happy. You get home far too tired to focus on what you like to do. This does not take you anywhere too fast and does not lead you to a happy life.

What do you need to do to have a happy life?

You need to change the percentage. I know, at least 5 questions will come to mind now.

How about I do it? To work less for money and more for what I like to do?

Have you heard of food and maintenance?

What will I earn money from if I work less?

Do I risk losing a stable job for hobbies?

Do I keep my desires and passions hungry?

And a natural bonus question:

You're crazy?

I'll leave it to you to answer the last question yourself.

For the others I can give you some advice:

Don't let fear stop you and look for solutions to do 80% of your time things that matter to you, to have a happy life.

The most important factor that prevents people from doing what they want and having a happy life is fear.

The fear of doing something new, the fear of stepping out of the comfort zone, the fear of the unknown, of an unpredictable future. This fear prevents us from developing personally, from growing, from fulfilling our dreams. Because of her, we become accustomed to the daily routine that gives us our everyday comfort.

But the fact that 80% of our time, our lifetime is occupied with activities that produce only 20% for our happiness, the fact that we spend most of our time doing things we don't like leads to frustration, sadness, depression, poor health, income small and eventually to an early death.

So don't let fear be the reason you don't live your life the way you want to. See the 20% of activities that bring you happiness and fulfillment and focus on them.

There are solutions for everything. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people.

Some women have succeeded, so can you.

Think about your life and see what makes you happy. Think about what a perfect day in your life would look like and what activities you would do. Think about what a happy life looks like for you and write it down.

Then look for solutions. Ask yourself a question that, as simple as it sounds, is as clever as it is:

What can I do to help myself?

After asking yourself this question, think about the steps you need to take to get what you want and what you need to give up to focus on your goal.

You can apply the 80/20 rule in any aspect of your life

If you want to have a business that will bring you income, turn your passion into a business.

If money doesn't matter so much to you, work for as much money as you need and spend the rest of your time enjoying your passion.

If you want to travel more, give up unnecessary expenses and save money on travel.

If you want to spend more time with your loved ones, give up less important activities that take up a lot of your time and give that time to your loved ones.

Whatever you want to do, you need to know for sure what you want to do. Define what a happy life means to you, and focus on those things that bring you fulfillment.

Learn to gain time for the small things that do not bring you happiness and live a happy life according to the 80/20 rule.
