A Pint Container Can't Hold a Quart of Liquid

Published: Mar 16, 2004

Application

Visualize pouring a quart of liquid into a pint container. Can you see the resulting mess?

Why do we often do this with tasks and time?

We say to ourselves, "I'll do that on the weekend."

We fail to calculate and match the working weekend hours available with the estimated time associated with each task. This becomes complicated when we don't include Friday evening or the sunny Saturday morning with the family. Then, Sunday evening becomes a panic time when tasks requiring completion for Monday morning are unfinished.

Could this be the cause of "Monday Blues?"

A pint container can hold a pint of liquid and no more. Otherwise, you'll have a mess!
