How do you fit school, sport, friends, family, sleep, and everything else into your day without going crazy? In this episode, Barbara introduces the Big Rocks system — a simple but powerful way to set priorities and protect your time.
You’ll learn how to:
• Shift your mindset: time isn’t a clock, it’s a choice.
• Choose your priorities so you don’t drown in distractions.
• Protect your time with tools like Pomodoro and Timeboxing.
• Find your MIT (Most Important Task).
• Build a weekly system that frees energy, reduces guilt, and gives you more control.
This episode is for athletes — but also for parents and anyone who wants to stop feeling “busy all the time” without moving forward.
Key Takeaways
• Big Rocks first. Put your non-negotiables (school, sport, sleep, eating) in place before everything else.
• Not everything is important. If everything is important, nothing is important.
• Time is a choice. Protect it with focus blocks and boundaries.
• System > chaos. When you create structure, you gain more freedom.
This Week’s Challenge
1. Do the Big Rock Exercise → list your rocks, pebbles, and sand.
2. Pick your daily MIT (Most Important Task): one school, one sport, one life.
3. Protect it with a time-box.
4. Share this system with your parents — plan your week together and see how priorities align.
