From the author that brought you the New York
Times bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People comes a guide
to prioritizing your personal and professional goals.
I'm getting
more done in less time, but where are the rich relationships, the inner
peace, the balance, the confidence that I'm doing what matters most and
doing it well?
Does this nagging question haunt you, even when
you feel you are being your most efficient? If so, First Things First
can help you understand why we so often prioritize things that are
unimportant to both our larger goals and our inner happiness. From the
author that brought you the New York Times bestseller The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People comes a guide to building your work on the
principles of effectiveness so that your life can spent cultivating
genuine relationships, investing in pursuits you enjoy, and achieving
balance in both your personal and professional lives.
In First
Things First, Stephen R. Covey advocates categorizing tasks by
urgency and importance so that you can focus on what actually needs to
be done in the limited amount of time that you have. Using personal
examples and insight from years of business experience, he argues for a
new way of looking at your “to-do” list. Rather than offering you
another clock, First Things First provides you with a compass, because
where you're headed is more important than how fast you're going.
