Food For Thought: The Pickle Jar Theory of Time Management

3/13/2012

4 Comments

 
As Willy Wonka said: There's so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it." Let's face it, there aren't enough hours in the day to accomplish everything that we want to do. But could we somehow defy this thought? Could the secret lie inside a pickle jar? The Pickle Jar Theory of time management is a theory based on the idea that time, like a pickle jar (or any container), is limited. What you fill it with, however, is up to you. There are a plethora of time management tips and techniques for businesses out there, yet many of us struggle to apply them in our daily lives. This theory and metaphor will help you visualize your priorities as well as the amount and size of tasks that can realistically be done in a day. I encourage you to actually put together your own pickle jar. Your jar does not have to represent daily tasks. It could represent finances, your life goals, wedding planning, etc. You decide.
