The 365 Commitment

Big Things First

In landscaping it seems that there is a concept that you should put the big things in first and then build around them. This makes sense, as the large structural items, trees, and other significant objects will dominate the space. Then you will have the basic structure, the flow, and from there you can put in the fine details. Even when trying to make a small spot look good, you should start with the back. Put in the larger plants and then work forward with smaller ones.

So it is in life as well. If the big things are not set in right, you might as well forget about everything else.. take care of the big things first and then rest will fall into place.
