Dr. Alan Rozanski

Just answering that question would be a whole podcast now.

I'll tell you, there's a couple of things that come to mind.

I remember when I was 13 years old, walking to the library in those days.

People still went to a library back then.

I guess I'm dating myself.

But I can remember feeling, I was just 13 years old.

There's so much to do.

And I was only 13 years old.

So that's a mindset, actually, that I think is very prevalent in society today.

But how do you address that?

There's many ways to do that, technical and otherwise.

One of the most profound things today is, I think, using what I call the 80-20 rule, a very famous principle that was developed by this Italian philosopher.

individual in the 1800s, where he looked at things like 80% of the land was owned by 20% of the people.

And it became over time a principle that 80% of the things that really will bring you success come from 20% of the things you do.

80% of the sales come from 20% of the people in a workforce.

So what happens is when we approach our job, we approach our work, and I had to learn this principle.

This was something...

very difficult to me.

I used to make these very elaborate to-do lists.

And somehow I had the sense that somehow, some way, someday I would have to get these things done.
