But it doesn't work for the whole of life, I find, life is too complicated... And for things like teaching, which take up a lot of time but where the big and medium stuff is out of my control or fixed for the semester by the syllabus, I don't have goals for most of the time, just to-do lists, which can be prioritised but don't feel like the same thing at all.<br /><br />I guess the idea is that it's like that "put the pebbles and gravel and sand in a jar" analogy that was around at new year? You have to pick the pebbles, the big stuff, first, or the medium and little stuff take up all the room. But any kind of rigid system doesn't match the chaotic nature of life perfectly - and I like it that way, mostly.JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779448611795379774noreply@blogger.com
