NOTE

Prioritize Big Rocks over Sand, Pebbles, and Snippets

The key insight from the excerpt is to prioritize important tasks, or 'big rocks', over less important ones such as 'sand' (meetings, emails, distractions), 'pebbles' (smaller tasks), and 'snippets' (minor activities).

Scheduling smaller tasks and managing distractions effectively helps in maintaining focus on the important strategic initiatives and content creation.
