A simple visualization demonstrating the impact of focusing on the important things in life...or how if you focus on the minutia you'll end up missing out on the important things. This metaphor is applicable to one's personal life as well one's school or career.
What are your big rocks?

This is one of my favorite analogy's. It is very true how if we take care of the 'big rocks', there is more room than we think. One thing to add - is that there is still room - in this final state, you can still pour in a pitcher of water.

this was created from the idea of density, if you fill the jar like it shows, then shake it, you would expect that the heavy big things would end up on the bottom right? but if you do this experiment and shake it, you will find that the small stuff goes to the bottom, and the big rocks rise to the top, all the small stuff finds a way to the bottom, because they are smaller, and you end up with a bottom layer of sand, then the pebbles, with the big rocks on top... try it some day...

In the metaphor presented we are only discussing Rocks, Pebbles and Sand....but yes, technically, between the sand is room for liquid. Still, the results would be the same if you started with a liquid first (there would be no room for the other items).

I feel you, every time I see or hear this metaphor, I think that gently and carefully placing each rock and carefully placing each rock or pebble slowing filling the jar is the way to go. While occasionally evaluating what you are doing (i.e. shaking the jar) :) but I'm engineer.

The big rocks: 1. Meaning and purpose in life. If your life has no meaning, it sucks. 2. Love and Work. You want to feel loved and needed. So, love people and serve people. 3. Responsibility and maturity. Nobody wants to be around an irresponsible and immature person, unless they are immature themselves.

I love this analogy, BUT this explanation has some flaws in the details.... If you look at Maslow's pyramid of human needs then you see, what layers of needs people have. Depending on the persons specific situation, they may have slightly different large rocks... However overal and in general having a jog, a was to put a roof over you and your family and food on the table as well as taking care of house/home is I believe on the biggest rocks in the jar...... Basic needs are the biggest rocks. Not ending up homeless, jobless is a big necessity. Every human being has a limit to their time and energy and money resources. No human can manage without good sleep for long. Priority managment is one of the most complex life lessons that we learn duing life... and the challenges of choosing what is most important probably never ends. See Julie Hanks boundry videos about boundries with family (the onion principle).... So having a jog/work and going to that job is a toop priority (big stone) BUT if the job does not allow you to spend time with family, go to medical preventative checkups, etc. then it is a TOXIC job. TOXIC rocks do not allow you to have other priorities and dont respect your other priorities....
