Put the big stone in the bottle first.
I was deeply touched by a short story.

A university professor asked his students to fill an empty bottle.

The transparent glass bottle is filled with big stones. He asked the students, is the bottle full? "It's full." The students answered. The professor continued to fill the bottle with pebbles, and the pebbles soon filled the empty space in the bottle. "Is it full?" The professor asked again. "It's full." This time, the students answered in unison.

Unexpectedly, the professor grabbed a handful of sand with his hand and continued to pour it into the bottle. The quicksand slowly flows into the bottom of the bottle along the gap, filling every corner.

The professor seriously explained that big stones are like health, and relatives, lovers and children are our lives? The most important thing in the book. Pebbles are the second most important things in life, such as work, money and status. And sand, like those trivial things in life, is insignificant.

But if the bottle is filled with sand first, there will be no room for those important stones. If our life is always occupied by trivial things, then we will never be able to do those important things and accompany the most important people in life.

Wake up the dreamer in one word. My life seems to be dominated by trivial things, and I don't take my most important things seriously.

Take today's example as an example. This morning's task is to finish the oral homework before eleven o'clock, and set out for the cafe to read at eleven thirty. But the truth is, I was occupied by trivial things all morning. Washing clothes, hanging clothes, unpacking express, sorting out garbage, researching new brooms. In this way, the whole morning was spent on those stupid things and nothing important was done.

I remember that I have been trying to cultivate the habit of reading Kindle at noon 12: 30 recently. Although I didn't start on time, I still tried to throw away the trivial things at hand and let myself go back to my desk to read for a while. It feels great. This is very important to me.

Doing important things can make you feel at ease. If the bottle is the time of our day, then put the important big stones into the bottle first, cherish the things that are important to us, and don't care about the trivial things, because they will definitely find a gap to get in.

"The first thing to do" and "the most important thing to do first" are slogans everywhere, but I have only recently learned their profound meanings from my life.

At present, the most important thing for me is to improve my professional skills and then toss about my hobbies in my spare time. Reading, photography and writing movies are indispensable.

Make good use of the rule of 28 and spend precious time on the most important things. Those unimportant trifles, please step aside first. I want to make room for the most important thing.
