80/20: Results vs. Effort Hoodie

80/20: Results vs. Effort

This hoodie represents a principle that’s been right in my face these past two years: "80/20: Results vs. Effort." It’s the idea that 80% of results often come from 20% of the effort—or sometimes, the reverse. There have been moments when a small amount of effort led to big results, but lately, it feels like I’ve been giving 80% of the effort and only seeing 20% of the results.

This principle extends beyond just effort and results—it applies to my interactions and the part I’ve played in them. Whether I’m 20% or 80% responsible, I’ve come to understand that what I say and how I engage with others can tip the balance. I’ve had to acknowledge that no matter the outcome—whether a win or a lesson learned—there’s always some level of responsibility I carry. This awareness has helped me accept the part I’ve played in creating the situation, for better or worse.

Wearing this hoodie is a reminder of the delicate balance between results and effort, and the responsibility we each have in shaping our experiences. It’s for those navigating their own 80/20 moments, embracing the courage to accept their role in the process, and adjusting their actions to tip the scales toward growth and self-awareness.
