Gives you some background information on what the 80\/20 rule means and more importantly, what it isn\u2019t. Unfortunately the rule is still misunderstood by many. Here\u2019s a few errors I\u2019ve seen lately from people misusing the rule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eighty and twenty are arbitrary numbers, the fact that they add up to 100% is coincidental. The idea is that a small input creates a large output. It could easily have been the 55\/10 rule or the 99\/4 rule and the meaning would stay intact.<\/li>\n<li>The rule isn\u2019t about the numbers. Some people pointed out that if you used the 80\/20 rule recursively you would be left with nothing left. In reality the rule is about figuring out what to cut (or focus on), not a mathematical formula for perfection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Web 30 Sleeps &#8211; Fantastic blog written by Brad Bollenbach.
