Habit 3: Put Things First
Habit three is about Will and Will Not power. This power
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 and 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 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 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!!!
