The 80/20 Principle

Here at Saddleback Church we teach the 80/20 principle when it comes to one's work/ministry. 80% of your job should be spent doing things that you either "Love To Do" or "Like To Do" and 20% of your job should be spent doing the other stuff. (i.e. things that you could "Live Without") The philosophy is that God has wire us each with a unique SHAPE and that we need to embrace our work utilizing our SHAPE. However, at the end of the day we are called to serve God no matter what - so 20% of the things need to get done regardless of whether they align with our SHAPE or not.

Remember the post from awhile back on SHOW UP - PALMS UP? It's kind of like that!
