He asked again, now is the jar full they laughed and agreed yes it’s full. This time the professor then took a box of sand and added it to the jar, filling the spaces between the rocks and the pebbles. The professor asked the class again, if the jar was full they agreed yes it is full. The professor then took a box of pebbles and added them to the jar and gave it a little shake to move the pebbles into the open areas around the rocks. He then asked the class if the jar was full and they agreed yes the jar was full. The professor’s stood in front of his class with a display of items, he took a large empty jar and filled it with rocks approximately two inches in diameter. There’s a well-known story about a university professor that wanted to make a point about the importance of prioritizing how we spend our time.
