Certainly! The 80/20 principle, also known as the Pareto Principle, states that 80% of outcomes often come from 20% of causes. A diagram can help visualize this concept. Since I'm unable to create visual diagrams directly, I will provide an ASCII representation.

This diagram represents:
1. **20% Inputs** - The left bar represents the inputs, such as efforts or causes, which constitute 20% of the total.
2. **80% Outputs** - The right bar represents the outcomes, such as results or revenue, which constitute 80% of the total.
In practice, this principle illustrates that a small number of causes (usually around 20%) typically account for a large percentage (around 80%) of the effect in many situations. For instance, 20% of your clients might generate 80% of your revenue, or 20% of your time and effort may result in 80% of your success.
Hopefully, this ASCII diagram offers a clear representation of the 80/20 rule!
