The Human Cylinder Load

Carlos Torres

Adapted from my Obsidian vault: 

My teacher, Mr. Kovar, explained very simply; how do you know how to balance your priorities to help get what you need done? 

He said "Carlos, think of yourself like a glass cylinder. If you only put sand in a cylinder, you cannot come back later and put more items in it. Because it's full with sand, right?"

Well, of course!. He said I have to do my tasks first, that add value, and once I do that, I get more time back to do other things. I believe he said it like this.

  1. Tennis balls
  2. Marbles
  3. Sand
  4. Water

Now, do I follow it entirely? No. Because I'm not perfect, and I am still learning.
