Big Rocks First: Double Your Productivity This Week

Careers & Jobs – If your week is seven buckets, and you go into each bucket without planning ahead, and you fill it up with little pebbles and grains of sand and whatever other debris comes your way ... soon there will be no room for the Big Rocks.

We have a system in my house. I take care of the big rocks and my wife takes care of the little pebbles and grains of sand but the only stipulation is that my wife decides which are the big rocks and which are not. Strange as it may sound, there has not been any big rocks for me to handle.

Dan and I use the Simpleology to help us identify the big rocks. It has drastically improved our productivity.

We love to chat and have fun, so it's really easy for us to spend the whole day playing with sand and pebbles.

If I'm not careful, Dan will play with his 'pebbles' all day when I'm not looking. :-)

The concept is motivational and positive.

It doesn't work 100%.

Sometimes there are monoliths that do not fit in the bucket anyway.

For this I just play sculptor as they did in the Easter Islands or Mount Rushmore.

A great post! & exactly what I needed to read today.

Now I'd better get off Netscape and do something!

Coincidentally (?!) last weekend my gf & I went to look see a very big rock, one that has no obvious relationship to its landscape, which according to legend was used as a location for sending smoke-signals by one brother to another.

They were the founding fathers of my country, which happens to be the 2nd most pagan in Europe and very rich in such legends.

We were so impressed that we're seriously thinking about moving to an old mill, the building which is closest to that spot..

Think hostel, pension, restaurant..

What we will definitely not be able to do is to put that rock into a bucket!

There's been so much cold rain and snow I haven't been able to get to any of my rocks!

We have a system in my house. We agree to take of our own pebbles and discuss the big rocks together, we haven't talked in years!

Okay! What do you do when only little rocks come along for like 17 weeks and then one week you just say Hell, and start loading little rocks like crazy. Inevitably you know what happens just as all the buckets have 60 pounds of pebbles in them.

Necessary variables: buckets, big rocks, little rocks. Buckets are finite, big rocks unpredictable and little aggravating rocks limitless. I guess an optimist would find at least one big rock every day! LMAO
