The 80-20 Principle is an observation that, in human endeavors, the majority of effects come from a minority of causes and vice versa…
In other words, only a small percentage of our time and energy is very productive, while most of our time and energy is wasted doing things that have little. In fact, some of our biggest investments of effort may be useless or even detrimental.
By the way, there is nothing magical about the numbers 80% and 20%. Some activities can be 90%-10% or better-worse!
