4. Summary The pickle jar theory is a time management theory based on the idea that time is a finite spacebut we can fill it with things of all different shapes and sizes. Each item in the pickle jar represents a specific priority. The jar also shows that it is possible to balance a number of priorities in a given space(Zideate.com, n.d).

5. Application We’ve also got big rocks (high priority work), pebbles (secondary priorities), sand(low priorities) and water (waste of time). Image courtesy of   (www.streetmall.com) http://www.beautyinsurancecompare.com
