Habit
3: Put First Things First
Habit
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 according to what
matters most. Putting first things deal with things:
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

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 of your life
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 most
important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize
and reach for it.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
