As the year comes to a close, we find ourselves in the unique position of both looking back on the year previous and looking ahead at the year to come. Evaluating successes and failures, while anticipating and planning for the road ahead. This is the stretch of time in which we are tasked with creating our Big Rock SMART Initiatives, and I thought it would be a good moment to have a refresher on the whole idea of Big Rocks.
It really is very simple: If life is a jar to be filled, make sure you prioritize the big rocks before you make room for the pebbles and sand. Give time and energy to the things that truly matter, before the distractions and diversions of life crowd them out. This metaphor certainly applies to our personal lives, but is equally valid when considering what we will prioritize at work.
Stephen Covey has some great things to say about Big Rocks:
Do you ever get bogged down in the thick of thin things?

New construction at the St. Joe Mitsubishi store is well underway. These beams started going up about ten days ago and we’re still on track for completion by December! For those of you outside of St. Joe, this new building is going up on the same lot as our Kia Store there and is just down the road from the Ford store. Once complete, we’ll have two separate showrooms on site; one for Kia and one for Mitsubishi.
