Happy Wednesday!

If you're a content creator struggling with production output, especially if you're not doing this full-time, you don't need sophisticated tools to get started.

I was starting to research crypto as a side hustle and struggled with managing my time effectively.

So I'm using this simple Pickle Jar Theory to help me out:

✧ Rocks → Start with critical jobs that have high priority and importance

✧ Pebbles → Fit in smaller tasks with lower urgency

✧ Sand → Less important tasks and sources of distraction

How to put it into action?

First, define your limitations (The Jar) based on your available energy, time, and resources.

Second, select 2-3 main goals (The Rocks), and these should be your top priorities, like completing infographics, researching X protocol, etc.

Third, surround your main goals with smaller tasks (The Pebbles). For me, I allocate 30-45 minutes max for each smaller task to complete.

Fourth, add minor tasks (The Sand) to fill in any gaps in your schedule. For me, it's no more than 20-30 minutes.

Make sure to stay flexible and ready to adjust on the fly, as sometimes main tasks can be deferred and smaller ones can become the main tasks.

Let me know what strategies you use to manage your schedule!
