Well I have got through the first year and now I feel I am on the home run to finishing my degree. I now know how hard this next year is going to be, because basically I need to do twice as much work with-in the same time frame as last year. I feel this can be done as long as put 110% into my work and time management.
Time management is going to be key if I am going to be successful in this 2nd and final year of this degree.
This quote talks about a rule called the 80:20 rule, which is a ratio which is used to help with time management. I know understand where all the times goes when I am working and that how true this quote is, I need to be careful about not spending to much time on one thing because in-turn this will slow me down and that's not managing your time correctly.
"This is neatly summed up in the Pareto Principle, or the '80:20 Rule'. This argues that typically 80% of unfocussed effort generates only 20% of results. The remaining 80% of results are achieved with only 20% of the effort. While the ratio is not always 80:20, this broad pattern of a small proportion of activity generating non-scalar returns recurs so frequently as to be the norm in many areas."
