The 80 to 20 Rule in Game Dev & Design

Stop wasting time on what doesn’t matter.

Focus on the 20% that gets 80% of the wins.

Think about Mario 🍄
↳ you don’t need to master everything.

8️⃣0️⃣% of obstacles? Cleared with perfect jumps.

8️⃣0️⃣% of enemies? Beaten by nailing 20% of tough levels.

8️⃣0️⃣% of time saved? From just 20% of speedrun tricks.

Same in business. Same in life.

Most people grind on everything, but the top players? They prioritize.
