Rocks, Pebbles and Sand: Prioritizing Your Life
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 06. 2020
- A simple visualization demonstrating the impact of focusing on the important things in life...or how if you focus on the minutia you'll end up missing out on the important things. This metaphor is applicable to one's personal life as well one's school or career.
What are your big rocks?

This is one of my favorite analogy's. It is very true how if we take care of the 'big rocks', there is more room than we think. One thing to add - is that there is still room - in this final state, you can still pour in a pitcher of water.
Well done. Clear, crisp, easy on the ears, point made in under two minutes. Bravo!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely 💯 AMAZING 👏
Can't tell you how much I needed to hear this!
You are missing WATER.
You are correct bro
Yes
😂exactly what I thought
Hehe
What does the water stand for?
I looove this. Thank you for the video. Will be doing art projects for kids in Hawai'i using glass bottles and sand and will definitely be incorporating this life tip into the lesson. Mahalo from Oahu (:
Sounds like a great class in the making, have fun.
Wonderful analogy!
Thank you, just perfect!
Thank you so much for this.. I've been given to share God's word.. Maybe I can add it as an example to demonstrate life.. ❤
This is pure genius. I read a book with similar content, and it was pure genius. "The Art of Saying No: Mastering Boundaries for a Fulfilling Life" by Samuel Dawn
Here cause of an amazing person and mentor, something you may hear lame, but if you paint or sing the complete picture, you understand direction, a tip you can take or leave..
Amazing...
It's a lesson in our last year Moral Science book...
1. Health family life
2. Work, school
3. Material possessions
Good job keeping it short. So many other youtube versions of this drag on over 3-4 minutes lol
this helped me, 5 /5 video, love this vid!
Glad it helped!
ITS GORGEOUS BESTIEEEE 😍😍😍
Quite simple & informative. Thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
This is the only thing i want to search not the sand pebbles movie.
When you search sand pebbles you will see a movie titled sand plebbles
I just wanted to see an experiment, but I found this instead. Will… it helped so thx.:)
Great vid
Hi, I love this anuimation- please can I use it for teaching health care staff?
Real Estate Professionals:
BIG ROCKS: phone calls to database, listing appts, buyer appts, closing deals
PEBBLES: writing handwritten notecards, contract timeline documents, priority email
SAND: transaction files, networking/training, meetings, business lunches
Love how you gave real-world, tangible examples on what really matters.
The big rocks:
1. Meaning and purpose in life. If your life has no meaning, it sucks.
2. Love and Work. You want to feel loved and needed. So, love people and serve people.
3. Responsibility and maturity. Nobody wants to be around an irresponsible and immature person, unless they are immature themselves.
You could pour a beer over top too, always make time to fit in some fun
this was created from the idea of density, if you fill the jar like it shows, then shake it, you would expect that the heavy big things would end up on the bottom right? but if you do this experiment and shake it, you will find that the small stuff goes to the bottom, and the big rocks rise to the top, all the small stuff finds a way to the bottom, because they are smaller, and you end up with a bottom layer of sand, then the pebbles, with the big rocks on top... try it some day...
The lesson today: Don’t start with the small stuff when you go to a buffet.
LOL
Thank you very much. May I have permission to use this in a classroom setting?
Glad you enjoyed it...and yes you can!
If I were there, I would add water.
😁
What is the name of substance here?
Hello! I would like to show this video in an online class I plan on teaching for 10-16 year-olds. Can I get your permission to show this video in my online class? Thank you!
You may...and hope it goes well
@@MindfulPractices Wonderful, thank you!
Who is the professor's name?
Always room for water
Well rocks are small and average and many while the Pebble is huge looks like a pythons head imo or is it a titan snake
Is it full if you pour a little amount of water into jar
In the metaphor presented we are only discussing Rocks, Pebbles and Sand....but yes, technically, between the sand is room for liquid. Still, the results would be the same if you started with a liquid first (there would be no room for the other items).
I feel you, every time I see or hear this metaphor, I think that gently and carefully placing each rock and carefully placing each rock or pebble slowing filling the jar is the way to go. While occasionally evaluating what you are doing (i.e. shaking the jar) :) but I'm engineer.
I love this analogy, BUT this explanation has some flaws in the details.... If you look at Maslow's pyramid of human needs then you see, what layers of needs people have. Depending on the persons specific situation, they may have slightly different large rocks... However overal and in general having a jog, a was to put a roof over you and your family and food on the table as well as taking care of house/home is I believe on the biggest rocks in the jar...... Basic needs are the biggest rocks. Not ending up homeless, jobless is a big necessity. Every human being has a limit to their time and energy and money resources. No human can manage without good sleep for long. Priority managment is one of the most complex life lessons that we learn duing life... and the challenges of choosing what is most important probably never ends. See Julie Hanks boundry videos about boundries with family (the onion principle).... So having a jog/work and going to that job is a toop priority (big stone) BUT if the job does not allow you to spend time with family, go to medical preventative checkups, etc. then it is a TOXIC job. TOXIC rocks do not allow you to have other priorities and dont respect your other priorities....
this is very
ca fait hella gamberger en veriter
Omg
Great points and I definitely resonate! I've got my own version of 10 things that I prioritise in my life that I've learnt through reflecting on my trip to remote Alaska: czcams.com/video/dN7QxaLZUqE/video.htmlsi=CjoPI4OCPmMUvW6b
