A SIMPLE time management system that’ll change your life.

I’m often asked how I fit everything in. I have a pretty full schedule, my bio gives you an idea.

It’s simple, you just need to get your ROCKS sorted.

Your ‘rocks’ I hear you say?

... A Thread...

The premise is simple: Your life has big rocks and little rocks.

The rocks are tasks. The size represents their importance.

Big rocks = important
Small rocks = less important

Imagine the rocks all need to fit into a jar.

The jar signifies your life.

Pour the little rocks in first and you can fit them all in the jar.

But you won't be able to fit the big rocks in.

But if you put the big rocks in first, the little rocks will naturally fall into the remaining space allotted.

The lesson?

You can fit everything in, IF you take care of the important things first.

I’m not a fan of To-Do lists.

I like to have 1 or 2 things to get done each day.

It doesn’t mean I only do 1 or 2 things, but my ‘big rocks’ are always a priority.

Don’t be distracted by the urgent but unimportant.

Or otherwise you will ALWAYS need to deal with them.

Focus most of your time on the things that get you closer to your goals.

Your big rocks.

Anything else is a distraction.

Thanks for making it this far.
