About this product

Product Information

From the author that brought you the New York Times bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People comes a guide to prioritizing your personal and professional goals. 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.

Enjoyed the CD, bought the book
I listened to the CD during my morning commute and had to have the book for future reference. The information provided is practical and usable by anyone wanting to reach their goals. I believe it is especially helpful for those who managage any goal-oriented group, like a project team. Like most things of this nature, the trick is in the implementation, but Covey/Merrill provide practical tips for that.
