Habit 3: Put first things first

In Summary, habit 1 is about taking control. Habit 2 is about what to take control of. Habit 3 is about how do you take efficient control.

"Schedule your priorities instead of prioritising your schedule"

Time management
There are several layers of time management. The first is realising what are the things floating about your schedule. The second recognises the chronological order of those tasks. The third is to recognise the urgency of each task. The fourth and most important, is to recognise the importance of each task.

The core difference between urgency and importance is results. Some tasks seem urgent, such as a ringing phone, but is it important?

To manage time and self well, one needs coherence, balance, focus, a people dimension, flexibility and portability

How???
1. Identify your key roles in life e.g. boyfriend, son, cheerleader, student etc etc
2.Select your goals
3.Apply those goals to your schedule

Cheer hard
