I follow the Pareto principle also known as the 20/80 Rule. It states 80% of effects comes from 20% of causes. In other words 80% of sales comes from 20% of clients. 80% of your feeling of happiness and fulfillment comes from 20% of your activities. 80% of the useful INFP resources on the web comes from 20% of the sites.

This is my 20%:
