7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
Habit 3
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Habit is three is about
Will and Will Not power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their
time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their
lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and
being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters
most. Putting first things first deals with things that are:
Important or not
important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time
management.
Quadrant 1: Things that
are Important and Urgent
Quadrant 2: Things that
are Important but not Urgent
Quadrant 3: Things that
are Not Important but are Urgent
Quadrant 4: things that
are Not Important and Not Urgent
|
1. Important & Urgent
|
2. Important but Not Urgent
|
|
3. Not Important but are Urgent
|
4. Not Important and Not Urgent
|
Quadrant 2 is the ideal
place to spend our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s
where priorities come into play. The results for living Quadrant 2 are:
1. Control
2. Balance
3. High Performance
So, in what quadrant are
you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible
into Quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning
and incorporating the important things first, things that matter most. Keep your
eyes on the prize and reach for it.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
