I think the way life frames many of its problems forces you to simply run into the jungle, cutting through the shrubbery. At least in the sense of deeply technical projects, it's difficult to utilize a Pareto front optimization system, as learning something fully requires long stretches of complete focus. You lose a lot of cached information if you're always switching between contexts. So, I guess it depends on the type of end goal you hope to achieve, but I personally wouldn't utilize Pareto front optimization (maybe I only think this because I am relatively deep into exploitation though).
