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 M. 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.
