“Don’t prioritize your schedule.

Schedule your priorities.”

You’ve probably heard the Big Rocks analogy.
It comes from a talk by Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Here’s how he explained it:
A professor stood in front of a class with a jar.
He filled it with big rocks and asked, “Is it full?”
Then he poured in pebbles. Then sand. Then water.
Everything fit - because he started with the big rocks.

Your calendar works the same way.

If you fill your day with whatever shows up first - meetings, other people’s priorities,
…there’s no room left for the things that matter most to YOU. 

Here’s how to flip that:

1️⃣ Name your Big Rocks
The things that move your life or work forward.
Mine this week:

→ Anniversary dinner 
→ A 1:1 health coaching session
→ Two pre-booked HIIT workouts
→ Coaching workshop for Longevity Center launch

2️⃣ Schedule them first
→ Put them in your calendar before the day gets claimed
→ Say: “I have another commitment at this time.” (Because you do.)

3️⃣ Let the sand fill around them
Sand is what eats up your time if you don’t protect it:
→ Scrolling
→ Approval loops
→ “Quick 45 min calls”
→ Jumping between tasks

Protect your time for what matters, or
you’ll lose it to what doesn’t.

What’s your biggest rock this week?
