Example

Auditing where the 20% of life actually drives 80% of joy

Pareto cuts
  1. Joy: 3 weekly walks with partner produce most of my well-being
  2. Energy drain: 2 specific recurring meetings = half of my Monday fog
  3. Money: bottom-decile spending categories add stress, not pleasure
  4. Relationships: 4 friends generate 80% of the calls I actually want
  5. Action: protect the vital 20%, prune the trivial 80% this month
