Are you prepared to prioritize?

This is one of the many articles I've read recently that offers options for organizing your life and making/keeping those New Year's resolutions. I like the "bucket" idea which reminds me of the story of a teacher who gave students a large jar, some stones and a bit of sand. He asked them to fill it up with the sand first, then the stones from small to large. The students were frustrated when the larger stones wouldn't fit in. The moral of the story was that, to keep your priorities straight in life, you put the large stones in first and follow at last with the sand.
