First Things First by Rebecca R. Merrill, Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill
5.0
In Stephen Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, habit 3 is “Put First Things First.”
This book goes into great detail on how to do that. The appendix in the back of the book has 13 workbook-like pages to help you discover your mission statement, roles and goal, and “true north” principles. I have not yet gone through and completed these pages, as Covey recommended doing so when one has ample time with no distractions. But glancing through it, there are many thought-provoking questions and exercises. Putting in the time to complete this section will, I feel, provide a map to a more peaceful, fulfilling, principle-centered life.
