I have talked about the Pareto Principle a few times before. Many people know it as the 80/20 rule. I do not treat it as some law of physics or precise math, but do I treat it as a useful heuristic. In messy systems, a small number of problems often create a disproportionate amount of the pain. I have leaned on that idea for years in both my personal and professional life.
