Pickle jar theory of time management
• We need to prioritize our activities and recognize our ‘big rocks’.
• We need to allot time in accordance with the priority.
• Big rocks= things of first importance= takes more time
• Smaller rocks = urgent things but not so important
• Sand = that goes in on top of the smaller rocks and creeps all around the big rocks = activities thrust upon us from all directions and which cause a lot of upsets.

The 80/20 Rule
•We devote 20% of our time to activity that is central to our aims and 80% on activity that is of marginal importance.
