Hi folks-
I'd like to get your opinion on this subject: do you think the 80-20 rule can be used with the GTD system and philosophy? If so, how?
I ask because my initial thoughts are, GTD focuses on getting everything handled, or at least captured. Whereas the 80-20 rule would say, 20% of your actions/projects will bring you 80% of your results.
So even if we get everything captured in our system, how do we sort through those long lists of projects and actions to find the most important ones? Or would you even say that sometimes neglecting that other 80% can be a bad idea?
take care,
Matt
