They often relate to family, health, and livelihood.  \nYour pebbles add extra fun and satisfaction to life, but aren’t totally necessary.  \nWATCHING TV  \nSOCIAL MEDIA  \nPLAYING VIDEO GAMES  \nGOING OUT DRINKING  \nYour sand is purely“bonus” activity. It can be enjoyable, but it’s not crucial to your survival or fulﬁllment.  \nEveryone’s rocks, pebbles, and sand will look different. But regardless, if you ﬁll your jar with too much sand ﬁrst, the rocks and pebbles won’t ﬁt.  \n3 KEEP A TIME DIARY  \nYour schedule reﬂects how you’re prioritizing the activities in your life. Track your time for a couple weeks to ﬁnd out if it’s consistent with your goals and values.  \nTRACK YOUR DAY IN  \n15 MINUTE INCREMENTS  \n7:00-7:15  \nwoke up; brushed; teeth; washed face  \n7:15-7:30  \nchecked Instagram  \n7:30-7:45  \nstill on Instagram  \n7:45-8:00  \nmade coffee  \n...  \nTHEN, ANALYZE IT  \nACTUAL  \nWork  \nSleep Exercise  \nHealthy meal prep Surﬁng the internet  \n Watching TV  \nTime with loved ones  \nDESIRED  \nHealthy  Time in nature  \nmeal prep  TV / internet  \nWork   Time with  \nloved ones  \nSleep   Exercise  \nWithout judgment, ask yourself if your schedule reﬂects your true priorities.  \n4  \nINCREASE HEALTH AND FITNESS ACTIVITIES IN 15-MINUTE INCREMENTS  \nTo start to align your schedule with what you want to accomplish, replace low-value activities with high-value ones, little by little.  \n-15 MINUTES  \nWatching TV  \n+15 MINUTES  \nHealthy meal prep  \n5  \nCREATE SYSTEMS THAT MAKE HEALTH AND FITNESS FASTER AND EASIER  \nWith a little extra time and effort up front, you can create an environment that signiﬁcantly reduces the time needed to eat well and move more.  \nKeep fresh, whole foods in plain sight  \nReduce or eliminate“treat” foods  \nEstablish a morning or weekend routine to chop veggies and prepare protein + complex carbs in bulk  \nSign up for a CSA box and/or healthy meal delivery  \nKeep a packed gym bag in your car or by the front door  \nKeep berries and greensin the freezer (for quick Super Shakes)  \nLeave weights and resistance bands lying around for quick, convenient workouts  \nJoin the gym closest to home or work  \nHold gatherings and meetings at parks and gyms  \nFor more ways [to establish a healthy environment: precisionnutrition.com/18-ways-to-transform-your-body](to establish a healthy environment: precisionnutrition.com/18-ways-to-transform-your-body)  \n6  \nPUT MEAL PREP AND MOVEMENT IN YOUR CALENDAR  \nIf we waited until we “felt like it”, a lot of important things would get neglected.
