Before the Covid pandemic hit, one of the most commonly researched concepts was Work-life balance. This refers to having enough time for work and enough time to have a fulfilling personal life.

I have always been intrigued by the ideas of the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. He observed in 1906 that for many phenomena, 20% of invested energy is responsible for 80% of the results. This important statistic reflects the value of conserving and balancing physical, mental, and spiritual resources as a means of reducing struggle, and suffering.

These are 3 tips I took from him and others I have studied.

1. Learn the difference between what you want and what you need.
2. The first thing you need to do each day is a simple personal discipline such as yoga, tai chi, prayers, meditation, and such.
3. As you begin your workday focus on something that is emotionally fulfilling.
