80 to 20 Rule - Signal to Noise Ratio.

 

The billionaire Kevin O'Leary once commented that the top billionaires, had easily 80 percent to 20 percent of their day focussed to 

- signal  (80)

- noise (20)

I realised only recently, that this is so true. The top successful folk  focussed 80% or more of their next day to getting and acting on the signal. The must be done items, no matter how unpalatable those must be done items can and must be.

The 20% noise is their down time, their other side of their life, relationships and niceties.

Its so true, and if practiced well, the plan normally moves and in many cases, it moves fast.
