The Pickle Jar Theory<\/h1>\n

(Value of life)<\/span><\/h1>\n

We have to understand that time is our best and\u00a0worst enemy. We\u00a0cannot\u00a0take it back, we cannot fight it, we cannot reverse it. We just to have accept it and use it in the proper way.<\/p>\n

The Pickle Jar theory is basically\u00a0based on the idea that time, like a pickle jar, time is limited. Our life, is the vessel (jar) and what’s in it (the volume or space) is limited.<\/p>\n

What you decide to fill it with and how and what you’re gonna fill it with, it’s up to you. Life is about decision.<\/p>\n

Now, imagine you have a big empty pickle jar and fill it with golf balls. You try your best to fill your jar with something big, something priority.\u00a0When you can squeeze no more in, your jar is gonna be full. Or is it?
\nNot quite!\u00a0The golf balls leave gaps. Now, you drop in some marbles, shake your jar, and let the marbles drop into those gaps.<\/p>\n

Next, take some sand and pour it into the even smaller spaces or empty spot\u00a0that are left, until the jar appears to be completely full. Now is it full? No.<\/p>\n

Final step, finish it off with a cup of\u00a0coffee. Pour in a cup of\u00a0coffee\u00a0until the jar can take nothing else\u2026
\n\u2026then screw the lid on!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

Ok, now some\u00a0explanation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The pickle jar itself represents our\u00a0time. Whether it\u2019s an hour, a day or a lifetime, the idea is that time is finite. Time is priceless, time is worth to your life, and time is a gift. Remember, it’s a gift that you shouldn’t be wasting.<\/p>\n

\n1. The golf balls are your\u00a0roles, goals and commitments that are VERY\u00a0important to you. Whether it\u2019s people (family, friends,\u00a0or someone important), your health, your passion,\u00a0project\u00a0or problems, these things matter most. They are the things that you want to drop into the ‘jar’ first to make sure there is room for them. Now remember, that you have to understand that this is about who or what you cannot have it\u00a0again when they’re gone. No matter how you ask or you pray for it, you cannot get it back, like family, friends,\u00a0kids, wife or husband, parents, even your mother or father in law. When you love it, you prioritise them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
2. The marbles. Even it’s smaller than golf balls, whether it’s more or less.\u00a0Still, they\u2019re easy to pour into the jar. The marbles mean the things you want to do, but don\u2019t have to. If you can fit them in, awesome, but they don’t matter as much as the golf balls. It can means your 2nd priority. Your car, your job, your house. (Well, sometime people put this as their first priority)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
3. The sand stands for all the small things, time taking tasks that are easy to do. The\u00a0time management matrix\u00a0theory would class ‘sandy tasks’ as irrelevant, unimportant or inappropriate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you spend all of your energy and time into these small stuff, or your 2nd priority (marbles)\u00a0you won’t have time to spare for all of what matter to you. What is\u00a0really important to you. Like your family, your kids, your parents. Take care of your golf balls first and later on for\u00a0your marbles.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Set your priorities. Take a good care of your important and critical things that gives you happiness. And that’s your golf balls.\u00a0Because everything else is just sand and marbles.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hold on. And what about coffee?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It shows that no matter how full your time is, you will always have time to have a cup of coffee with your friends. It\u00a0takes time, but doesn\u2019t really add anything: Hours spent\u00a0wasting time chatting with your friends, call your friends and ask what’s up with them,\u00a0watching football, and other things.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Generally, the smaller and easier it is to pour in to the pickle jar, the less it matters. The trouble is, theses are exactly the types of things we tend to end up filling out time with. The antidote of course is to\u00a0set goals.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If the coffee, sand and marbles fill too much of the jar, there is less room for the golf balls. In other words, it’s easy to fill time with the things that don’t really matter.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
So, the big question is,\u00a0what will you fill your jar with for the rest of your life everyday?<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
