Planning My Day With Rocks & Sand

I’ve been working with my coach on being more productive during my day, and I’ve implemented this new way to prioritize my to-do list:

Rocks = big tasks that need to be prioritized

Sand = small tasks that can be done when there are a few minutes of downtime between doing the rocks

So each day, I’ve been setting my to-do list up with rocks and sand. That way, I know I need to hit as much on the rocks list as I can BEFORE I fluff around doing the sand.

Have you tried this technique before? Let me know in the comments!
