How often should one take the time to do an 80/20 assessment of their life? Do you have a process/routine of your assessment that you could explain as a guide for the readers to follow?
Good question. Nobody has ever asked me this before!  How about this answer – Every morning and once a year.   Take a moment to sit down and relax and ask yourself what was the most satisfying thing you did yesterday, and what might it be today. “Satisfying” can mean anything related to work or life – what is the single thing that you might do that will give meaning to the day.  Usually it means doing something that only you can do and that will mean something to other people as well.  It’s interesting that when I ask myself this question, I often realize that the most satisfying thing yesterday didn’t take much time. And likewise the thing that you are planning to do today – so perhaps you should devote more time to it.

Once a year, rather than doing New Year’s Resolutions, I ask the same question. What did I do that meant the most to me and my family and friends – and sometimes strangers too? And what could I do in the next year?   More of the same is not a bad answer, but something fresh too. Once again, more is less – a couple of things to focus on is quite enough, if they are 80/20 activities.
