Finally, a time management system that is realistic. Thank you. I'm eating my pickles now and preparing my pickle jar.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

of course time management is good if you have three or four projects running at the same time, but let's say you're a programmer that's assigned to a program per week (or something like that), then your day would be filled with only one project…
that's why ala readers have to ask themselves if they really need a time management system.
not that pickle jar isn't good.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Ohhhhhhhhhh…a figurative pickle jar. *chomps on pickle*
Very good theory. It is easy to do things like check e-mail, surf the web, and write. These are things that I do as a break from work rather than scheduled tasks. I guess I have always been practicing the pickle jar theory. Thanks for telling me!Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

basta, actually I work in that exact environment. I've got 5-year projects, 5 day projects and 5 hour projects. I have dozens of meetings, hundreds of commitments and I've tried just about every theory out there. This one simply worked for me in the midst of everything, which is why I chose to write it ;)Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Great theory. I'll try it sometime.
Seriously though, it's simple and requires minimal thinking and no logging of time. This might work.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

I'm curious to know who runs the time management course that is being referred to here. The theory sounds like it's from time management guru Stephen Covey's book, "First Things First", which I read for the first time in the early 1990's. It's still a great theory.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

I read about this a while ago and thought it was simple and perfect. It's nice to see that it's worked its way through the minds of so many people (although when I heard about it there was no mention of pickles or water or sand; just rocks and pebbles). Now I crave pickles, so goodbye, and great job on the article!Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Just so everyone knows, the true origin of this is Aesop's Fables (or Tales, depending on your country of origin). The story is of a raven and a jar or something. Anyways, the course is taught by Steve Long. A nobody really, but very good at practical applications which really hit home. Most of it is simply common sense after all.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

I heard this years ago, posed as a story about 1st year university students sitting in a lecture hall. The Prof. brings in the jar, does as we all read with rocks, pebbles, sand, water. Each step of the way he asks the students if the jar is full, to which at least a few respond "yes".
In the end, he asks what the message is. One student takes a stab and says "You can always fit a little more in" - the prof responds "No… if you don't put the big rocks first, you can't fit them in at all. What are your big rocks?"
It was supposed to be a lesson not only about planning your day, but your life.
... Just the way I heard it.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

I am so glad to see something so *classic* being embraced again. In 1998-99 when I was travelling around the country and speaking I brought out this theory (which I actually heard from a minister on Sunday morning) and started introducing this concept, to albeit, a smaller audience.
It works! And I encourage everyone to give it a try.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Like the anonymous post above, I heard a similar version of this concept a while ago.
The prof. brings in a jar of big rocks. He asks whether it's full. Students say yes.
Then he adds smaller rocks. He asks whether it's full.
Then he adds pebbles. He asks whether it's full.
Then he fills the rest of it with sand. Finally, he says, it's full. So he goes into his spiel about life's priorities and all that.
But then a student runs up to the front of the class and pours a can of beer into the jar, proving "there's always room for beer."Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

I've also heard this theory before. But I have one slight problem (even though I KNOW this way of working/living would be a good one): I've received this theory so maaaaaaany times in spam mail, you know, the ones that try to teach you how to live a better life, "visit your grandmother at least once a month - Eat right and exercise - etc."
Reads a bit like this one : http://www.ics.uci.edu/~klefstad/priorities.html
So, sure, it's a great way of handling life. But as I read the article, I couldn't help my brain from screaming : "SPAM ! SPAM !". My bad. I'll try anyway, 'cos, once again, it feels like I'd need it these days…

I have a similar situation as you (Basta) describe - days filled with a single project/task, but I can see benefits in using this "Jar Theory". The strength is of course the metaphor (or is it an allegory? Forgive my linguistic shortcomings.).
In my experience there is seldom a task that large (lasting 1 day or more), that cannot be broken down into smaller /sub/tasks. This excercise can seem futile (the one task'll get done without it), but my point is that within such a large task I can often identify more important subtasks (critical to the completion of the overall task) and not-so-important ones. In this Jar Theory the former subtasks would be 'rocks', the latter ones 'pebbles'.
By concentrating on the critical subtasks - the rocks - I will sometimes improve my productivity, sometimes not. The greatest benefit though, will be that I definitely minimize the chances of my spending time picking pebbles while there are rocks unturned.
Also, in a scenario with one project lasting several days, a change of scope could enable this theory to work under various conditions:
Make the project scope the jar. Now it's easy to identify rocks/pebbles/&c. to structure and prioritize your day(s). When the time comes when there are more diverse assignments, simply resize the jar to fit your new needs.
The benefit here would be using one (1) system, the mental image of the jar and what-not seem to be scalable without loosing relevance (BIG plus) - I thought it over and can't find any major pitfalls (anyone?).
(Q to Jeremy Wright: The theory doesn't require you to have a one-size jar does it? If I'm missing important reasons for not using a resizable jar I better scrap these dynamic materials [patent pending] :).)Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

So, I have heard about this theory before.. and it's a good one.. the problem I have, and I think most anyone who works on projects simular to my projects is that, well, there are just too many rocks to fit into the pickle jar… it's amost as if I need a second pickle jar to take care of the other rocks, but that will never happen because they rocks can only be handled by myself… there is a long story there but I will spare you of that. So my question is, what if you have too many large rocks? The rocks alone can not fit into the confines of a pickle jar… what do you do? prioritize? put some of the rocks on the back burner? I am currently doing this, the problem is, more rocks keep appearing… the burner is now overcrowded.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

It is a metaphor. An allegory is in more of a story form and a bit longer. Like Animal Farm is an allegory of Russian history and Stalin etc.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.
Jeremy C. Wright (article author)
Hey mate… Resizable jar? I'm not entirely sure the specific size of the jar (scope of the project/day) matters that much. In fact I would say in the metaphor/allegory (I'm equally linguistically challenged) that it doesn't matter at all.
Get your rocks done, and the rest of the jar generally falls together really nicely. Even today I rescheduled one of my large rocks because I knew I couldnt' give it the "shining" and attention it deserved.
It really is a simple concept: prioritise. But it's more than that. Prioritising does no good if you don't take action, as I'm sure we all know ;)Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.
Jeremy C. Wright (article author)
Hey mate, your question is a good one. Since I'm now involved in the following things:
- writing for sitepoint
- starting a webhosting company
- full time lead developer
- marketing/pr lead for a .NET forum
- domain registrar helpdesk
- 3 large client sites
etc, I can totally relate. There is always more of a stress than I can handle. My solution is twofold. First, at the beginning of every day, write down what NEEDS done that day. This ensures that you never miss anything. Next, on a week-to-week basis, ensure that each area you are working on always gets attention.
I find that my biggest problem isnt' starting things, but maintaining momentum. By holding weekly "evaluations" with myself, I ensure that momentum is always maintained, and by evaluating my daily rocks I ensure that I am keeping my word and nobody is ticked off.
I hope this helps, and if not, truly sorry, I'll see if I can dig up another Aesop's Fable for you ;)Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.
Jan B (article author)
Codeman: Thanks. I hadda lookitup post-posting (and Orwell's book actually figured as case in point), also found "parable" and "fable" to mix-it-up further. I remember reading about all these words&meanings; - obviously without understanding - in the brilliant novel The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt, highly recommended everyone.
Jeremy: Yeah, absolutely see your point (prioritize, act & keep momentum), and I fouled up my argument. I was after the use of the entire metaphor (not just the jar) at different scales - much like your twofold solution (in post "Nick :)"). Logically, this can be seen as the use of the same metaphor (jar, rocks and all) with two different scopes (day and week [overall project would be a third and so on]).
<OT-land again>
Now I can dig, it might seem futile/unnecessary to disassemble something perfectly straightforward as this Jar Theory (identify the rocks, take care of 'em, have Pop-Tart).
But I have similar difficulties as you with my 'rocks' (although not that acute, man you really have some WORK cut out!), and I've been involved for some time now in creating a new company-wide Project Model. Finding agreeable, robust and _versatile_ metaphors and mnemonics have been a source of ..well, frustration is one word, semantic warfare two.
As any Project Model will consist of a number of tools and abstraction layers - WBS, Leaning Wave, CPM, Concurrent Engineering, &on;&on; - having simple (as people here seem to agree it is) metaphors that work and have multiple uses (want # of metaphors < real scenarios) is kinda the bee's knees, 'cause they'll be used _and_ empower users.
Without having stress-tested the hell out of this theory/metaphor it does have scalability going for it, and eventhough it pro'ly won't make everything crystal, it could possibly be useful in several add. areas (e.g. Work Breakdown Structure, Critical-Path, &c.). Well, time, research and testing will tell :).

As princess of procrastination, time management has never been a strength of mine. Time management systems to me are a waste of time - but then again I never get around to actually enforcing one. This is one I can do. This one's simple - and since I can't stand quibbling with each minute detail, the big picture er… big rock… um… big pickle is something I can fit into my life without feeling like time management is another huge unweildy task.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

To be perfectly honest I need to thank Jeffrey. Writing for ALA is literally a dream come true. Less than a year ago I couldnt' write for beans (ask my friends) and one day it just clicked (long story).
About a month ago, I interviewed Jeffrey for another site, and he invited me to write an article for ALA so I did. I'm glad I did, y'all are a very merciful audience! Maybe I'll be back if Jeffrey likes this one, I'm not sure. I really need to PRIORITISE my writing, as I'm now getting too many invitations, thanks in large degree to the ALA crew and you guys.
So, don't thank me (not my idea), I should be thanking you. So, thank you :)Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

what you say is true, but imho when working on a project it is better to start off with the big things (rocks) and then work your way down until you have to polish the whole thing up…

This is a really basic, common sense system to the point where it might not really need to be a "system"... but the fun of saying Pickle Jar over and over makes up for it. And actually… there was a time when my to-do list items didn't automatically get sorted by importance, so I'm sure this article will turn a light on for somebody. Way to go, Jeremy!

dapdop (article author)
If the jar is my day/project/life, then surely I can fill it up starting at the bottom, a bit at a time using different sizes of fill. Eg. A large rock goes in… then a few pebbles… then a bit of sand and water (then I have a coffee break *grin*). Then I put in two more large rocks and a lot of sand… then some larger pebbles… etc ... until my jar is full!!
So Taking my day as an example, I do a large ominous task then a few easier quicker ones then check my email and stuff. Then I'm off on the next big project (all planned ahead at the start of the day).
I guess what I'm saying is that there is a layer of management that means that you have to keep a watch on the way the jar is filling up…Not too many large rocks or too much sand.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

I don't quite see the direct connection between this article and 'The Web', but nonetheless it's a nice article.
As far as I can see, the point is to not 'play before work', and to not over-schedule a day, but generalise your tasks. In the most extreme form, the schedule might be like this:
8:00 - Work
12:00 - Rest
12:30 - Work
17:00 - Rest
18:00 - Play
Work, Rest and Play! Such ancient wisdom combined with such a modern technology! I do that sort of thing with my 2do-lists. Most items on the list don't have a specific deadline, and they're jotted down in such a general way that only I can understand them: 'Do building,' 'Edit Keypc'.
I know what I am to do; I don't have to over-define my activities from minute to minute.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Thanks Jan. Your additional thoughts extending the 'Jar of rocks' illustration is personally helpful. I've always wondered how to schedule my time when it seems all I have to do is this one big project. I used to just tackle the next thing I do, and being an easily distracted person, will try to do many different things at different times with no plan or purpose.
Jeremy, I too had heard this theory years before, but never really saw its significance until I chanced upon that quirky title. Thanks for repackaging a classic idea so that someone like me would bite the hook and benefit from it when i wouldn't have otherwise. Makes me think about how somethings we hear at seminars, workshops and sermons which we feel don't help us, may actually be very worthwhile revisiting.
Time-management is really crucial, because we all want to live purposeful, significant lives. If that were not the case, then we could well just live doing whatever we want, whenever and however. Will try to put all the thoughts from the discussion so far into practice.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.
Juliet Choy (article author)
I've read this theory before in a book called "First thing first". The key point is, the time management system should based on your priority in life. The great rocks in life is planning, improving yourself, improving relationship with family and friends, and all these kinds of important stuffs in life(but not so urgent ones as it looks) should be put in first. And when there are empty spaces, you fit in your pickles.
What is important is, you should view this pickle jar theory using a life time frame, but just a day time frame.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.
serena (article author)
the theory is nice and reassuring common sense (and yes, i received lots of spam mail about it)

...your project manager decides to keep throwing you new big rocks and forgetting about the old big rocks and expecting you to turn the pickled pancakes into glass jars… err… *crunch* *explode* *mmmm panickles*
Sorry… What I mean is time management and planning is all fine and nice. But what happens when things change so fast that a plan is old five minutes before it was written? How do you bring order to chaos to the point where a plan actually helps.

A great reminder; thanks, Jeremy.
I'm a klutz. I tend to break jars when I have rocks around.
I sometimes break big rocks into smaller rocks.
I prefer the jar half empty; room to choose which rocks go in.
Half empty, if I shake up the jar, the jar breaks.
If flow state is desired, the pickle jar becomes vital. Time shifting tools (email, voice mail) defer interruptions to your flow.
Sometimes my day feels like a ketchup bottle with a tiny opening in the top. Hard to get anything in, let alone something large.
Ever pickled,

To Jeremy and other web authors:
With all of the "been-there-done-that" posts regarding this article, I think it shows the importance of citing references within the article itself when the idea presented is not your own. Early in your article, you say this is the latest time management strategy you've heard. This is a perfect place to put in a reference to that time management theory. Mention Aesop, mention Steve Long, and mention (or put a link to) the dozens of books that also cover it. And do it early in the article.
Here are three good reasons for doing this:
1) Readers enjoy being in control. If the scope of the article is presented at the beginning, readers can decide early on if the subject matter is old hat for them. Furthermore, those who do stick around for the whole article can't complain that the topic is old. You warned them!
2) Readers like to read. If the topic can be found elsewhere in greater detail or with a different spin, let your audience know. You obviously found this theory to be a lifesaver. Undoubtedly, others will, too, and will appreciate any help in finding the material. Personally, I would enjoy knowing which of Aesop's fables this theory comes from. I think that's fascinating.
3) Finally, it adds to your credibility as an author. Readers trust those who've done their research. Enough said.
Best of luck in your future endeavors,

Well said and true. To be perfectly honest, here is why references weren't included:
1. Steven Covey's principle is different. I knew about it, but it isn't entirely the same in my opinion. I suppose I could have mentioned him, but it would have lost some of the metaphorical "atmosphere" which I do think the article captures.
2. I hadn't realised until a friend told me later that Aesop's fables was related to this.
So, while I could have mentioned Steve Long, the reality is that he didn't make this up either. It's a concept which has, as others have already said, been around forever. I didn't, and still don't, think the article's "atmosphere" would have been any better off had I cited references and so on. It's an editorial piece mainly, and it's not often you find references in editorial pieces :)
I also realise it is of a bit of a different flair than most ALA pieces, however I'm happy with how it stands. In fact it is one of the articles I am most proud of in my repertoir :)
Could I have saved people a little time by employing the "newspaper-writing" philosphy of "given them the juice first and then expand on it"? Yeah, maybe, but I fear I may have alienated the readers who really wanted to read it through but wouldn't normally have (and there are several posters just like that).
Anyways, I digress. Most of your points are right and are entirely bang on with 95% of articles, I just don't feel I could have done much at the time of writing, and I'm still not sure I would change anything knowing what I know now.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Off-topic for sure, but I so hear that… Clients/superiors just loove to invent new sh**...features - instantly rendering ever-so-doable plans obsolete ("scope creep" in project management jargon). And projects are of course situations where everyone involved have their own idea of what the rocks are, how long it'll take to fill the jar, &c.
In your situation (Paul Watson's, post "What happens when…"), clients are one thing ("Gimme!"), but when a PM acts like you describe, he/she has lost control.
My $0.02 on project management and the Jar Theory (OT, old news to some, you're doubly warned):
It seems (esp. in IT/web development) like our project goals increasingly become integral parts of our projects: Only towards the end do we know what the real goals of the project are (or should've been).
In my own, limited experience, I've found very few methods to gain control over these problems, but here're some (and my workaholic dumb self *l* spent a couple of hours of vacation-time toying with Jar Theory compliance, thanks a LOT Jeremy ;), well it's raining so..):
¤ Create plans with many short, parallel phases [Core concept of the "Wavefront method"/"Leaning wave"/"Sneda vÃ¥gen", dev. by Prof. Lars Philipson in "The Seven Week Microprocessor Project" (univ. course at LTH, Sweden, www.lth.se)]
- Jar Theory: Several smaller, more manageable jars together comprising the project (e.g. one for marketing, prototyping, &c.). Focus on putting the rocks into the jars ASAP. As IT/web projects are particularly sensitive to time, tech becoming obsolete &c., it's good minimizing exposure to this factor.
¤ Introduce the "Version 1.1 Concept" to the client: "This is a good feature, it won't fit our *agreed upon* budget&schedule; (v 1.0), but let's plan now for this in a follow-up phase/project (v 1.1)"
- New jar (no pun intended), new possibilities.
¤ Determine your project's driving constraints (what you're measured against): Time, Cost or Quality. They change, watch them ceaselessly and nag about 'the driver': "You can have it fast, you can have it cheap, you can have it good. Now pick 2." [From Ron Black's book "Complete Idiot's Guide to Project Management…", www.ronblack.com]
- Time: to fill the jar; Cost: of people filling the jar, shaping of rocks, purchase of rocks; Quality: shaping the rocks to optimize use of space, decrease likelihood of breaking the jar.
¤ Stress the /obvious/ correlation between time and effort (A takes X weeks, A+a takes X+x weeks).
¤ If you can't measure a goal, it's no good and will lead to scope creep.
- How many rocks we got? This jar is like a balloon, we have no limits!
¤ Guard your agreed upon scope with your life (at least fight for it with zeal)
- There's no Way we can fit your Asteroid into our current jar!
I'll probably begin using "Jar Theory" when discussing certain things with my team and clients. Imagine talking about hyper-abstract search-engine optimizations to a client saying "Rocks too jagged, they be crashing the Jar, we need more Oracle-masons, U dig?" Powerful stuff!Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Hi, I already had heard about the pickle jar theory, but it was known as the "beer theory". Let me explain: there is this philosophy teacher explaining the theory to his students, pouring big rocks, little rocks, tiny rocks and at the end sand in the pickle jar showing how there was place for everything in life, given that the right priorities were chosen. In this case big rocks were such things as family and friends, little rocks were work, house… and so on. But then a student stands up, opens a can of beer and pours the beer in the pickle jar "filled" with rocks, sands, pebbles and so on… then he says "no matter how your life is full, there is always space for a beer".

I like that this technique will be almost impossible to get out of my head. I've stuffed a lot of self-help systems (time management, exercise, diet, this, that) into my skull, and they all leak back out through the holes. That pickle jar isn't going anywhere.
I'm curious about the "ownership" of this technique. Seems like you should have given some kind of attribution. Out of courtesy if nothing else. I don't mean to point a finger. I'm just wondering aloud about rights, fair use, and so on. I don't know much about all that yet.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

It doesn't directly relate, but, here's that fable:
The Crow and the Pitcher
A crow perishing with thirst saw a pitcher, and hoping to find water, flew to it with delight. When he reached it, he discovered to his grief that it contained so little water that he could not possibly get at it. He tried everything he could think of to reach the water, but all his efforts were in vain. At last he collected as many stones as he could carry and dropped them one by one with his beak into the pitcher, until he brought the water within his reach and thus saved his life.

This is… Well, just ask yourself what stuff you would do that could improve your job if you had an extra hour per day. Ask yourself and write down a list. Some people may do nothing, which is good, some people may relax for an hour, others may study for something, some others may spend time with their family, etc. Everything we do is what is regarded as urgent and important. The list you have just made is what's important but not urgent. If you spend an hour a day doing just that, your life and job just might get better. The pickle theory made me laugh tough…Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Oh, You Need It!
I read one post where someone talked about how they only worked on one project, therefor may not need time management. Oh, you need it. It is the small, personal and descreet time thieves that kill your productivity. Or, in my case, it is the one huge project poorly mapped that steals personal time. One of the reasons employers still have large complexes, offices and desktimes (schedules) instead of letting all their 'developers' just do it from home, is they know the value of a controled work environment. They do a lot of the time management for you. However, people often let their focus screw around with their productivity, because they do not 'chunk' or set aside time slots for specific work. It is lose, or I like to refer to is as weak, control of time that allows a day of work to be unproductive. Perhaps, you may need a lesson in understanding what productive means first. Many people do not realize a difference between a productive day and an unproductive day (a day spent in the zone), and that allows them to believe time management is not essential.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

My previous post here has disappeared for some reason. Anyway, what I said was, there a zillion worthwhile self-help techniques, but this one stands a chance of being used for more than a week because it's impossible to forget. One, because its logic is not only convincing, but kind of funny. And two, to remember the whole theory and instruction set you just have to remember you've put a pickle jar full of creek materials into your head.
The other thing I said was that I thought the article here should have given some attribution. It was gleaned from someone's seminar. Whose? Even if those people got it out of the public domain or from some other seminar, I think the fair thing would be for the present writer to name his source.
I don't mean this as fingerpointing. This just seems to touch on questions of fair use and web etiquette, which I'm doing some thinking about these days.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

No, my previous post didn't disappear. It went to the end of the list. Dumb are us. I didn't see there were more pages after the first one. Sorry to double up on my comments.
I see there has already been a discussion on citing sources here. I read the thread and still think a sentence saying "this was taken partly from so-and-so's seminar" would have been easy, painless and better. Both better form, and better writing.
I like the author's writing style and did find this article useful. But strictly apart from the issue of fairness, I felt as a reader that an important piece of information was missing. I think there's a lot of ground between fully footnoting an article and giving no sources at all. A brief mention of the source is easy to include, and it's a great clue for me as a reader as I try to relate it to other things I know. Maybe I know something about the other thinking that comes out of that seminar, for example. Maybe I want to know something about this idea's pedigree. Maybe I want to track down more of the same kind of stuff from the same source.
Overall, the lack of attribution here feels a little unprofessional. I'm speaking partly as a former newspaper reporter. I think the old rules of crediting your sources exist for some good reasons. It's the fair way to treat your source, it shows respect for the thinking reader's need to be discerning and see connections, and insofar as source attribution is considered standard journalistic practice, it's one indication (not a guarantee, of course) that the writer is a workmanlike thinker and can be trusted.
It was a good essay, but it had this flaw, in my opinion.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Pickle jar or not. I think that the key element to good time management is to recognise two things. Happiness + Clarity.
If your own needs as a person are met before you become a cog in a machine, youll be a happy cog (scuze the pun Zeldman!)
If your a happy cog and you know what you should be doing in a priority order (what shit is important and what are the timeline requirements) then you'll know what to attack first.
A developers life is often out of balance (too much work not enough play) this renders a person as non effective by comparison to those who have gone for a walk, accepted that they dont want to work all the time and that games often are more fun, and yes we all deserve rewards.
A happy developer with clarity and a serious mind, is hard to keep down. Get one thats overworked, stuck in the sand and lacking in personal balance, reward, and clarity, then see the timemanagement concept staying as a concept, instead of being an aspect of personal achievement and productivity.
I survive on passion and grit when I am out of balance, have no clarity left and am running low on rewards. I know when in balance with clarity I get alot more done. I can see the small and big picture.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

Start with the big dill peppers. Then do your large pickled onions, followed by the little silver pickled onions, and some cocktail gherkins. Then do the capers. Little bits of unidentifiable brown gunk should be left till last, and avoided if possible.
Our main problem is stopping ourselves tinkering for hours on a new idea which the client hasn't really asked for, but will make their site so much *better*... we justify it by saying 'but this will be a thing we can use on lots of sites, so it's *worth* putting unpaid hours in… [Noooo! it is unidentifiable brown gunk.

This is a very good theory. Reading it, I was thinking "yeah, right", but reflecting, I realized that most of the time I have my work done right in the opposite way: I get all the small junk done first, so that my mind is free to concentrate on the main job and I know I can spend as much time as I like for it. I wonder why, but it always worked… condition is, of course, that you can plan how many time you need for the small stuff to get done, and make sure it doesn't fill the whole day…Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

This time-management theory is rather brilliant in its simplicity and quite applicable. Some have speculated that the only weakness in this theory is its inability to cover the lifestyles of every age and type of occupation. I say that the only thing limiting its relevance is your own imagination. It's flakey, but stay with me. I have always had a theory that everything in the world was either a smaller or larger version of everything else, and often both at once, in once sense or another. (I'm probably not the only one to come up with this, but…) So if you interpret this theory very loosely it's very useful.
For instance, one of the first comments mentioned that: "assigned to a program per week (or something like that), then your day would be filled with only one project." Aha! True, one project within that day, but what about within that project? I've done a fair amount of programming in my day (I'm 17) and it seems to me that within one project there are many rocks, many pebbles.
No theory will be right for everyone or every situation, but if you need something like Time Management to get you through your day, this is perhaps one of the best options, especially if interpreted loosely.
... Wow. Did that make any sense?Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.

I saw this on tv! On some movie or something.. and I thought it was very clever. It's really a great idea, although I don't have lots to do usually so I don't need time management atm, but if I -did- this one is seems the most realistic. Afterall, I would not go doing something like basing activities or things I want to do around a crazy time management schedual. That's insane.. but this one is realistic. As I said.

I think the system is extremely flexible. The only thing that people should realize is that they need to do some "customization". In other words, what works well for one, will not necessarily work well for another, but after some customization the system should for well. So, don't be afraid, test various systems but stick to one that works best.
Happy time management.

Great Site…..You arn't going to believe this. But I was actually looking for a Pickle site. I can't believe it either I hate the little things! We have 9 kids and thought it would be a good idea to put in a garden, thinking it would save us alot of TIME…. Soooo instead of taking that time to go to the store…. we planted cucumbers.. LOTS of cucumbers..Now I have to find out just what you do with literally hundreds of them…. I'm thinking take the kids….take the veggies… put them near the street (not to near) and they can enter the business world. I like your theory…I would help the average person.

How is this a new concept just because it's called a 'Pickle Jar'? Rocks, water, and sand aside - this is nothing other than prioritizing.
Beaurocrats piss me off. This article wasted 5 minutes of my pickle jar organized life - uhhh - this would be considered water I guess.Copy & paste the code below to embed this comment.
(article author)
I think the article inadvertently somewhat changed the point. If you fill a jar with water, you're not filling it with the same amount of water that would go in after putting in the rocks, gravel, etc. You're putting MORE water in. Hey, maybe that's a good thing, right? Who are we to say rocks are better than water? ;-)
The point in the version I heard is about arranging things in a finite space (representing time). You put the rocks in first, then gravel, then sand. If you start with the same amount of each and put the sand in first, then the gravel, you will not have room for the big rocks. It's about how you arrange things: Schedule the big-ticket items first and you can pick up the smaller items as time permits (ie, fitting the gravel and sand in the spaces left between the large rocks). It's about getting more into the jar (or more things done in your life).
I'm sure everyone got the main point though. And I guess it is generally true that once we can't fit the big rocks in we tend to go get some extra water to fill the space. I'm doing it right now. ;-)
Yes, Steven Covey had this in his book and used to preach it a lot. There used to be a "Seven Habits for Highly Effective People" add-in for Microsoft Outlook that had a neat graphical version of this. You had the empty jar, and you would pick which item to put in, and you'd graphically see it go into the jar. Then you could pick another item. So then you could play with it and learn the lesson yourself, and then the program would sum up the message for you. It sounds corny but was surprisingly effective and eye-opening.

You can fill up your day any way you wish, but in the long run, you'll want to have spent your time on the important things in life (rocks), without ignoring the necessities that keep it ticking (small rocks, sand and water), rather than being caught up with the little things (small rocks, sand and water) and regretting that you didn't do the things that you really wanted to (rocks).

Everyone seems full of admiration for this. Can't see why. Time management is neccesary but there is no simple or one-size-fits-all solution.

Jeremy, I don't break for lunch. Why? Well, I eat lunch each day at work but I do it whilst pounding the sand—maybe even the water—because I get absorbed and obsessed with the stuff early in the day.

This theory sounds like just plain common sense to me. Like the "use your brain" theory. I've been practicing this for long years now, and I believe most time management techniques go down the same lane. The pickle jar analogy is a tasty one though. Although I would prefer a cookie jar myself. And instead of rocks, pebbles, sand, and water, I would fill it up with doughnuts, MMs, cocoa powder and milk (reminder to self: buy latest celebrity diet book).

Why? Because I talk to people every day who aren't. If you are doing it then great.

Like everyone who takes a free breath or air, every second life happens. Sometimes it invades our day and sometimes it just hangs over us. I work in our own company, as well as from my home office most days, but I still have a hard time keeping my office time sacred. People think you work in an at home office so they run all over your day. I am better at knowing the difference between urgent and important, but there are very few emergency times in anyones day unless your are a firefighter or police. So thanks for a reminder to sort out the needs to been seen too, and the they would nice to get to issues.

The Center of Prevention & Evaluation (COPE) is an outpatient research program for teenagers and young adults experiencing changes in thoughts and feelings that have led to problems in relationships, school or work. Our research focuses on the causes and course of these symptoms. Individualized treatment is provided.
The COPE clinic was developed to provide a setting for the evaluation and treatment of prodromal symptoms. These are symptoms which develop relatively early in life (from childhood to young adulthood) and which resemble symptoms found in some psychiatric disorders, but occur in individuals who do not have a definite psychiatric illness. In some individuals, these symptoms may represent the early stages of a disorder which will develop over time, while in others the symptoms seem to fade with time or remain mild, and no psychiatric illness develops.
Examples of prodromal symptoms include:
The COPE clinic has three primary goals, reflecting our focus on both research and clinical treatment. Research goals include:
We believe that this work will help in the development of more specific and targeted treatments to reduce prodromal symptoms and to prevent the development of psychiatric disorders in those individuals at highest risk.
While working to understand the meaning of prodromal symptoms, the clinicians at COPE (psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers) will provide a range of treatment options for individuals who are appropriate for and desiring of treatment. Depending upon individual need, these can include:
We recognize that changes in thoughts and feelings can be very confusing and even frightening. Our research clinic provides an opportunity for young people and their families to discuss these problems with mental health professionals and learn how to handle these upsetting changes.
All clinical services (with the exception of any medications that may be prescribed) are provided for up to 2 years and are free of charge for participants in research.
All services are confidential.

TPWD Funds Programs To Get Kids Outdoors
Bonus Grants Round Set for June 2
AUSTIN, Texas — Reconnecting children and families with the outdoors seems to be the general theme of programs funded by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Community Outdoor Outreach Program grant. TPWD this month announced recipients of 17 grants totaling $470,000, as well as additional funding that will allow an additional grants round this summer.
"Many organizations feel that today's children are losing touch with nature and the environment, said CO-OP Program Director Darlene Lewis, and they are designing programs that help them and their parents to touch, feel and experience the outdoors, TPWD-style."
The CO-OP program has helped fund programs since 1996 and to date has assisted more than 400 organizations with money to help pay for equipment, transportation and materials to give children hands-on experiences.
As a result of actions following the recent legislative session, the CO-OP program budget is increasing by $780,000 per year to about $1.25 million per year in 2008 and 2009.
This means the program is putting out a special request for grant applications with a June 2 deadline and July 25 award date. After that, the next regular application deadlines will be Oct. 1 and Feb. 1.
A grant writing workshop is scheduled for Thursday, May 1 in Austin at the department's Airport Commerce Park location. Visit the TPWD Grants website for information on additional workshops and to download an application. Applicants can submit grant proposals ranging from $5,000 up to $50,000.

Authorities say they are confident of controlling a fast-moving grassfire that threatened homes in central Victoria.
An emergency warning was in place for parts of the town as the blaze approached the Darraweit Road area at Wallan, 50 kilometres north of Melbourne, on Monday afternoon.
But it was later downgraded to a watch and act alert.
Kilmore deputy incident controller Greg Murphy said crews were hopeful of controlling the 50-hectare blaze.
"We've made some very good progress on this fire to the point where we are actually slowing the fire," he told ABC Radio.
"We are becoming increasingly confident of pulling it up before it reaches the Darraweit Road."

Oroville >> A month after city officials said Finance Director Diane MacMillan was out on administrative leave, the Oroville City Council ended her employment during a closed session late Tuesday night.
Reached Wednesday, City Administrator Randy Murphy said the council voted 5-1 "to exercise its contractual right to terminate the director without cause."
Murphy said the council made the decision during a second closed session held at the end of the open meeting Tuesday night. After the decision, Mayor Linda Dahlmeier returned to Council Chambers and announced the termination, though the room was empty, he said.
MacMillan has been absent from the job since early March, reportedly on administrative leave. At the time, officials declined to elaborate on why she was gone, citing employee confidentiality.
Murphy said Wednesday that it was the normal time for the finance director's contract to be evaluated.
He emphasized McMillan was terminated "without cause."
"There are no allegations of wrongdoing," Murphy said.
The city will now have to recruit for a new finance director. Glenn Lazoff, a contract employee who has been working there since late February, is the interim director.
MacMillan worked for the city of Oroville for 28 years, Murphy said.
According to the contract dated February 2012, she earned $100,141.18 per year. The contract was through February 2015. Terms of the contract provide an opportunity for MacMillan to retire through the Public Employee Retirement System if she is terminated without cause. The contract also indicates the city must pay her six months of her salary in a lump-sum payment and pay accrued vacation time.

Dates for Annual Crab Trap Removal Set
AUSTIN — Hoping to add to the pile of more than 33,449 derelict crab traps hauled from Texas bays since 2002, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials are gearing up for the 14th annual Texas Abandoned Crab Trap Removal Program Feb. 21 to March 2.
During this 10-day period, all Texas bays will be closed to crabbing with wire mesh crab traps. Any traps left in the bay will be assumed abandoned and considered "litter" under state law. This allows volunteers to legally remove any crab traps they find.
Prior to the 77th Legislature authorizing the abandoned crab trap removal program, only the trap's owner or a Texas game warden could legally remove a crab trap. State game wardens confiscate more than 2,500 illegal traps annually, yet many more remain to foul shrimpers' nets, snag anglers' lines, "ghost fish" and create an unsightly view of Texas shores.
Volunteers are needed to assist in the coast-wide effort to remove the numerous traps that have been lost or abandoned since last year's cleanup. To facilitate volunteer trap removal efforts this year, TPWD will provide trap drop-off sites at several locations in each major bay system along the coast from 8 a.m. to noon on Feb. 22, weather permitting. Additionally at all sites, dumpsters or collection areas marked with banners will be available to receive traps for the duration of the closure. Volunteers may focus their efforts on Feb. 22 or work at their own pace anytime during the closure, but traps cannot be removed prior to Feb. 21 or after March 2.
Last year, volunteers with the aid of numerous sponsors removed nearly 1,000 traps coast-wide.
"The success of this program is a reflection of the keen sense of stewardship anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts have for the marine resources of this great state," said Art Morris, ACTRP program coordinator for TPWD. "Volunteers have removed more traps from Texas waters than any other Gulf state and the results show."
Morris said the number of traps removed each year has steadily been decreasing, indicating the impact of the volunteer program.
The Coastal Conservation Association Texas, Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program, NRG Energy and the Galveston Bay Foundation are providing continued support to the crab trap removal program. Numerous other organizations and companies also are volunteering their services.
To participate, volunteers may pick up free tarps, gloves, trap hooks and additional information at their local TPWD Coastal Fisheries field stations. TPWD requests that volunteers who remove traps record and submit information about the number of traps they collect as well as documenting any sightings of diamondback terrapins.
All other legal means of crabbing will not be affected during the closure period for wire crab traps. For more information, contact your local TPWD Coastal Fisheries office or Art Morris at the Corpus Christi field station, (361) 825-3356 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Shipley Golf Club's Nathan Stead has been nominated ahead of hundreds of fellow professionals for a prestigious national award.
The 34-year-old is among a shortlist of three, picked from nearly 700 golf professionals across the country, for the Tartan Golf International Partner of the Year award.
Stead, who lives in Steeton, admitted the recognition had come as a major surprise.
"I keep myself to myself and never thought I'd be nominated as I didn't think many people knew who I was," he said.
"It's a fantastic feeling to receive this recognition. TGI Golf is known for being a group of high calibre PGA professionals, so to be nominated from such a group of great pros is amazing."
The accolade from one of Europe's leading buying groups for golf professionals represents the top award at a prize ceremony on February 4 at Marriott Worsley Park near Manchester.
Also on the shortlist for the honour are Andy Carlton (Paisley GC) and Carl Bianco (Woking GC).
Criteria for the prize is based on all aspects of working as a club professional, including coaching, retailing and playing.
Stead said: "That's what really nice about being nominated for the award in that it is for efforts in all areas of being a pro."
The former Beckfoot School pupil's main passion is coaching and his lessons have proved popular with members at Shipley, whom he joined just over five years ago after starting out as an assistant at Otley followed by a stint as professional at Queensbury.
His teaching base extends further afield, with players from across the county receiving tuition from him, including Yorkshire Girls.
"I enjoy teaching more than anything and seeing people improve and getting the best out of their swings," he said.
On the playing front, he was part of TGI's successful Ashworth Cup team and finished third in the Nike Barcelona Experience at Notts Holinwell.
Stead has also enjoyed a good year in business, saying: "Year-on-year my shop turnover has been pretty consistent but this year there has been an increase."
Since first turning professional 14 years ago, he admits the retail side of his role has has become more challenging.
He said: "There is not as much money in running a pro shop now and you have to focus on different areas across the industry.
"Competition on the internet means you have to be more clued up on products and price, and be more aware of the personal touch."
Shipley Golf Club manager Mike Brown expressed delight at Stead's recognition. He said: "Nathan is not one to blow his own trumpet but he is an extremely good coach and a model professional, who is always approachable and goes down well with the members.
"He is up against some tough competition but making the last three for a national award is a fantastic achievement."
Top Bradford Union player Ian Martin, who works a TGI retail consultant, added: "In his local area he is a well respected pro, is always willing to help his peers if they need help with stock or guidance and works extensively coaching in the community."

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Release Daily Shampoo with Light Enhancers Reviews
Good shampoo but not as light enhancersIt leaves my hair shiney but I didn't notice any difference in the brightness or color of my hair. The smell is good, but I think that I can buy a similar shampoo with slightly lower prices. — 9 years, 3 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

super cool :)I love to use this shampoo with the matching conditioner...it really brings out the dark brown shades in my hair. I was looking through some pictures a few years ago and thought "wow, my hair color rocks" and then realized that's when I was using this shampoo and conditioner. My gripe is that it's a little pricey for me, so I will only use it when I have pretty short hairstyles. Good product though, and wonderful smell :) — 7 years, 9 months agoNotQuiteGlam | 190 reviews
It's okThe brilliant brunette products work alright for me, but it does not contribute to the life of my color. It's moisturizing though, which is a plus. Would probably work best for natural brunettes. — 9 years, 5 months agoj_orestano | 221 reviews
