80/20 Rule

There’s a rule called the 80/20 rule. It states that 80% of the gain comes from 20% time/effort/clients/etc. This is frequently mentioned with respect to my work because about 20% of our clients pay 80% of our fee.

The Transportationist poses the question that, perhaps, 0.8% of the effort gets you 51.2% of the gain.

I like that thought.
