Habit 3 : Put First Things First
How many times are we faced with prioritizing daily tasks? In order to an effective leader, we have to put "First Things First!" Let's make for sure tasks are completed in a timely manner, this is what build character and organizational skills.
"Habit 3 is about life management as well--your purpose, values, roles, and priorities. What are "first things?" First things are those things you, personally, find of most worth. If you put first things first, you are organizing and managing time and events according to the personal priorities you established"

This is an excerpt from this week’s lesson - Enjoy!

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Habit 3 : Put First Things First!

Habit 1 says, "You're in charge. You're the creator." Being proactive is about choice. Habit 2 is the first, or mental, creation. Beginning with the End in Mind is about vision. Habit 3 is the second creation, the physical creation. This habit is where Habits 1 and 2 come together. It happens day in and day out, moment-by-moment. It deals with many of the questions addressed in the field of time management. But that's not all it's about. Habit 3 is about life management as well--your purpose, values, roles, and priorities. What are "first things?" First things are those things you, personally, find of most worth. If you put first things first, you are organizing and managing time and events according to the personal priorities you established in Habit 2.

Hope all is well in your world. Are you ready to start another excellent week of Leadership Development?? I hope so! This week we will be exploring the "Habits of Highly Effective People". Much of this week will be devoted to the ideas of the author Stephen Covey, who has written an important book on this subject. Notice the #1 habit of highly effective people - Be Proactive. Lesson learned, get started!

This is an excerpt from this week’s lesson - Enjoy!

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1 : Be Proactive 
Your life doesn't just "happen." Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. you choose sadness. you choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.
