80/20

I live by this rule, it made me gain so much credibility and money from people who don’t know any better. 80/20 <3

20 percent of work nets you 80 percent of result (except no one knows what I did isn’t 100 percent) bam 4/5 of time saved. Everyone is happy and if something doesn’t work we can just blame it on client

I follow the 80/20 rule recursively. as soon as I've gotten 80% of the way there for 20% effort I immediately stop, and start a brand new project for the remaining 20%. Bam! 96% complete for only 24% effort.
