Posted on by Sabiqul Hoque
The 50-30-20 rule says that I should spend 50% of my work time on A tasks, 30% on B tasks, and 20% on C tasks.

May be difficult to set up initially
It may be difficult to initially set aside so little time for category C tasks, so more time can be allocated to them initially and gradually reduced. Additionally it can also be difficult to allocate and figure out the time you should allocate unless you know how much total time you have in advance.
Easy to set up with Org Mode priorities
Difficult to track total time
Probably the better way to quantify amount is by using the number of tasks completed. Although personally, I have not fully tried nor committed to this principle.
