Big Rocks…
The “Big Rocks” analogy was popularised by Stephen Covey in his book “Seven Habits of Highly Successful People”. We all have a finite amount of energy and time, think of an empty jar, to dedicate towards conquering performance. How you choose to fill your jar each day and week is critical to your long-term success. If the first things you fill your jar with are pebbles and sand, fad diets or the latest and greatest training gimmick, you won’t have room for the big rocks of performance. At the same time if you nail the big rocks first, then you have plenty of room for the “one percenters”.
