My best tip for Pareto rule is to ask questions. Here is an example how to apply. Have conversations with yourself: 1/ What's my number 1 goal 2/ What are my main 10 tasks 3/ What 2 tasks are driving my goal? 4/What 2 tasks I can't get rid off? 5/ Do the remaining 6 bring value? > yes: who can help automate or do it faster and better? > no: what can help me to remove them?

Goals are merely ideas when they aren't attached to a plan. It's imperative to allocate time and resources into planning your learning in order to set yourself up to succeed in your pursuit of personal development. Placing an event in your calendar not only gives you a prompt to act on but serves as a reminder to keep your personal development journey going.

Part of celebrating your achievements along the way is to help you anchor into the feeling of accomplishment. When you feel as though you are 'winning' by celebrating your achievements along the way you can keep the momentum going. Thus, celebrating your achievements no matter how small, is an important part of the process when pursuing a personal development mindset.

One key point that is missing from this article is to understand what skills you want to develop and why. All the other points in this article are about the path on how to complete your personal development, and what do you do to keep on track. However, none of the points cover the "why" which is equally, if not more important. Will the skills make you more marketable in your career? Or do they fill a gap/requirement for your current job? Or are they simply skills you've always personally wanted to develop for personal enjoyment or to make you feel better? Develop a vision statement for your learning path and that will help drive some of the other points in this article such as setting SMART goals or prioritizing.
