for whatever reason, i’ve been getting into time
management theory lately. who knew it was possible to collapse the
entire field into into one, easily digestable theory. enter the
pickle jar
theory
:
“We also have things which we enjoy doing, such as the
pebbles. We have other things we have to do, like the sand. And
finally, we have things that simply clutter up our lives and get in
everywhere: water.None of these are bad things. After all, we need the gamut of these
objects–from large priorities to times of rest–in order to feel
truly fulfilled. No Time Management theory should be without
balance, and the Pickle Jar theory is all about balance. You make
time for everything, and everything simply fits well where it is
supposed to fit.”
i think i’m going to start a consulting career
founded upon the 7 habits of highly effective pickle jar
practitioners.
