The Mayo Jar is a powerful lesson in time management that we've made easy to do yourself in your classroom. Includes all you need -- except the beer!
The Parable
As the story goes A professor stands before his philosophy class with an empty jar, fills it to the top with golf balls and asks if its full. The group says "yes."
Yet he still manages to fill the jar with more stuff -- first pebbles, then sand, even a beer or two!
The golf balls represent the important things–your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions–things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else; the small stuff.
If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
The Jar Activity
Set up: Divide the group into teams. Give each team a smaller jar (not provided) and an assortment of materials: golf balls, rocks, stones, gravel, sand, or anything else of your choosing. Be sure each group has exactly the same amounts of materials so you can determine which group was able to fit the most into their jar.
Explain: Challenge groups to fill their jar with as much of their materials possible.

Time Trial is a SHORT, sharp activity to deliver KEY LESSONS on time management supplied digitally, for use in virtual or face-to-face training sessions. In this 60-minute activity participants are faced with a stream of emails and ongoing projects.
THE ACTIVITY
It’s the start of a new week and the general manager at Cavendish is faced with a lot of ‘things to do’. It’s the perfect time to take a few moments to organise the week ahead:
- Plan the diary
- Prioritize the workload
- Decide where/how to best utilise staff
- Arrange meetings where necessary
- Learn to sometimes just say ‘NO’
Teams - or individuals - have two forms: Your Diary and Your Action Record, on which they record their responses.
In addition, the emails reveal some organisational problems and at the end of the activity participants are asked what underlying issues they were able to identify.
A scoring system allows teams' time planning skills to be assessed and scored. Teams then have a benchmark for improving their time management skills and productivity in the workplace.
The activity is straightforward to facilitate - full details are in the Trainer’s Notes.
TRAINER'S ROLE
1. Issue emails to teams (or individuals).
2. Tell teams they have 60 minutes to complete their task.
3. Issue forms: Your Diary and Your Action Record.
4. Observe teams (but do not get involved).
5. After 10 minutes issue the first of six additional emails - and one more every 10 minutes so that the final email is issued just a moment before the 60 minutes is up.
6. At 60 minutes stop the session and move on to the debrief.
7. Debrief the activity by leading a discussion to the whole group. Work through the forms, reveal the ‘right answers’ and allow teams to score their forms. They can then compare their decisions - usually provoking a lively discussion and plenty of disagreement. (Remember, the principles of time planning are the issue - rather than exactly the right response to a particular email).
8. Summarize the key learning points and announce the winning score. (Performance rating indicator supplied in the Trainer’s Notes.)
9. Issue 20 Top Tips handout to take back to the workplace.
Full guidance, discussion points answers are supplied in the Trainer’s Notes.
