Each day you promise to get a workout in, but those workouts never seem to happen consistently if at all.

A professor of the School of Public Management was giving a lecture on "Efficient Time Management" to a group of 15 executive managers of the large and successful American companies. Instead of lecturing he did an experiment.

He took out a jar and filled it with stones & asked if it was full, they responded yes. He said wrong and filled it with pebbles & asked if it was full, they responded yes. He said no & filled the jar with sand & asked if it was full, they responded no. He said correct and then filled the jar with water, finally filling the jar.

He asked for ideas on the meaning of the experiment. The general response was that no matter how full our schedules appear with more effort there is room for more tasks. He said no, the lesson is that if you don't put the large stones in the jar first then you will never be able to fit them in later.

Of stones, pebbles, & sand.......What are the large stones in your life? Family, Friends, Hobbies, Fitness, Healthy Living, Time for Yourself, Doing What you Love, Work, Fighting for a Cause?

Take care of the large stones first. Those are the important things in life, the rest is just pebbles & sand. Each day when you you fill up your jar, If you fill it up with the pebbles and sand first there will NEVER be enough room for the large stones.

If fitness is a large stone in your life come up with set training days/times in your weekly schedule, everything else will fall into place around it.

This is definitely not an everyday idea, but a much better alternative than a lot of the other Fast Options. This is great for the rare day that you don't want to cook, forgot your protein shake, or are traveling. Not every Starbucks, but some have hot sandwiches one being an egg white, turkey bacon, & reduced fat white cheddar sandwich.
