The Question is Where

One of the books that really impacted me is Stephen Covey's First Things First. Then (much later) there was David Allen's Getting Things Done. Even though I didn't apply all of GTD, it did help me to get more done.

But in the last month I have added a huge goal to my life: getting my B.S. degree. So I have been looking at my schedule, and I don't like it. Spending time with my kids (homeschooling, playing, teaching) is a high priority for me. I have several personal goals: learn German, get into great shape with Crossfit, actually win a medal in Taekwondo, do more classical reading, play the guitar, etc. And there are the normal obligations: earn money, keep the house clean.

Getting things done is great, but I can't do everything. I can't do everything perfectly. Its time to put the big rocks in the jar first. Where do I want to go? What is most important? Why?
