The 80/20 rule is especially true for cleaning. Better to get it 80% clean twice as often than 99% clean half as often.
Not to mention the fact that getting it 80% clean will take much less that 80/99 of the time it'll take to get it 99% clean.
My understanding of the 80/20 rule was "80% of the work takes 20% of the time", so this seems already covered?
Yes, what was I thinking?
Eh, I do this too since optimizing for saying more obvious things. But on net it's been a big improvement and worth the occasional brain fart.
