As an 80/20 Person, I first consider a route that will take me to the greatest amount of return for my efforts for whatever I do.  I am sure that I have identified my top payoffs regularly and I, of course, consider in the payoffs anything that has a cost to it.  I make sure that my personal happiness is first, always.     
As an 80/20 Person, I learn how to create results with the least amount of effort.  I engage in only what really matters and I let go of the trivial many.  (See Quick Implementation Of The 80/20 Rule.)
 
I learn about virtual assistants and how to get other services done for me so I do not have to be "tied up" in it all and can have freedom to do what I want and/or to pursue other high payoff possibilities in business.  I read and apply the ideas in The 4-Hour Workweek, by Timothy Ferris.  I avoid time consuming activities such as publishing a book and promoting it, without alot of "trail" income opportunities or doing a website like this one, for free.
 
I learn from the masters.  I obtain and follow the wisdom from Dan Sullivan's organization on the site StrategicCoach.com.  I have read this and follow it:  The 80% Approach (which is different from 80/20, CD, with a summary booklet).
