The Espresso Hour

NOTE

Embrace the 4% Effort for 50% Gain

Initiate tasks by investing 4% of effort to gain 50% of the rewards. Apply the principle of focusing on the initial 10% effort for starting a task, then prioritize giving full attention rather than partial effort. This strategy mirrors the Pareto distribution concept, where significant rewards can be obtained with minimal effort at the beginning of a project. The approach emphasizes consistent action, such as daily writing or starting YouTube videos, as the foundation for growth, with subsequent improvements contributing progressively to overall success.
