8 Ways to Get Better Results with Less Effort

What if doing less today…

Delivered bigger results tomorrow?

It might sound crazy, but doing less can actually help you achieve more.

Sometimes we’re so focused on chasing the next goal that we fill our days with too much of the wrong things.

This is where the 80-20 Rule (also called the Pareto Principle) comes in. It says that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts.

What if you flipped your approach and focused on the 20% that truly makes the biggest difference for you?

Here’s how you can take action today:

1/ Relationships
↳ Identify one person who energises you.
↳ Schedule a 10-minute chat or coffee with them this week.

2/ Personal Goals
↳ Write down a goal that truly matters to you.
↳ Break it into three simple steps and commit to working on it today.

3/ Health & Fitness
↳ Add three x 30-minute movement sessions to your calendar.
↳ It could be walking, yoga, or any activity you enjoy.

4/ Learning
↳ Choose one skill that aligns with your biggest goal.
↳ Set aside 20 minutes a day to focus on it, distraction-free.

5/ Work Tasks
↳ Identify three high-impact tasks for tomorrow.
↳ Write them down and start your day by tackling the hardest one.

6/ Energy
↳ Say “no” to one task or commitment that drains you.
↳ Redirect that energy into something that truly matters and you want to do.

7/ Money
↳ Review your spending and cut one expense that doesn’t bring value.
↳ Put that money into savings or something meaningful.

8/ Mental Clarity
↳ Spend five minutes journaling or clearing your workspace.
↳ Do this before you start your day to sharpen your focus.

It’s not about doing everything perfectly - it’s about focusing on the right things and doing them consistently.
