I&#8217;ve written\u00a0about it in the context of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doingwhatmatters.com\/how-get-all-done-oneperson-business\/\" target=\"_blank\">running a microbusiness,<\/a> but for a more detailed\u00a0overview, here&#8217;s a video from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/2014\/08\/23\/put-the-big-rocks-in-first-video\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Art of Manliness<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/0VNmIxkyHd8?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The first step to planning well is staying\u00a0focused on priorities.\u00a0Moms tend to be competent, and often find themselves saying yes to things they don&#8217;t have time for. When you begin a planning session by focusing on the relatively small number of people and things that are your responsibility, it becomes simpler\u00a0to create a realistic plan for life.<\/p>\n<h3>Planning Focus 1: What are your big rocks?<\/h3>\n<p>Here are a few questions to help you discern the big rocks in your own life.<\/p>\n<h4>People<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Who are you directly responsible for or to?\u00a0 (This will be a very small circle of people.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Activities<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>What must be done in home, family, school, and work?<\/li>\n<li>What things can be done only by you? This should\u00a0be a fairly\u00a0short\u00a0list of big things \u2014 don&#8217;t let yourself be lured by\u00a0perfectionism into including small things that really can be done by others. For example, only you can be your husband&#8217;s wife and your children&#8217;s mom, but practical tasks can be learned and executed by almost anyone.<\/li>\n<li>What things should you simply oversee? These are things that must be done, but not necessarily by you.<\/li>\n<li>What virtues or character qualities\u00a0do you need or want to cultivate in yourself?<\/li>\n<li>What brings you joy or peace?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Planning Focus\u00a02: Gravel, Sand, and Water<\/h3>\n<p>Of all the activities you are currently doing, how many are related to or support your big-rock priorities? Here are a few questions to help you weigh choices.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In addition to\u00a0the people listed in\u00a0the first section, what other relationships do you need or want\u00a0to nurture?<\/li>\n<li>Are there ways to nurture relationships that can also connect with\u00a0one of the Focus 1 questions?<\/li>\n<li>What activities are you doing that bring you stress or simply consume time with little or no long-term benefit?<\/li>\n<li>What are you doing from habit, obligation, or fear of what someone else will think? This can include good activities such as volunteering or extra church activities.<\/li>\n<li>What things belong to another season of life?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have thought through all the things you do and all the things you need and want to do, it&#8217;s time to create a time map. There&#8217;s not time to write about it today, but in the next post or so, I&#8217;ll write more about time mapping and how it can help you order your life consistent with your priorities.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to read more about priority-based big-rock planning, I recommend\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1451639619\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1451639619&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=everydayeducatio&amp;linkId=64FULF2MWKAKW4T4\">The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=everydayeducatio&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1451639619\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/>\u00a0<\/em>by Stephen Covey, and of course, other time management articles on this blog.
