I continue looking for other ways to apply the 80/20 principle, which was clearly a big influence on Tim Ferris (I'm reading Koch's book now). I'd like to hear about experiments anyone else has tried.

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
