First Things First

A manual for setting priorities for both your personal and professional objectives, from the author of the New York Times bestselling book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Even if I'm doing more tasks in less time, where are the fulfilling relationships, tranquility inside, equilibrium, and assurance that I'm focusing on the important things and accomplishing them well?

Even when you think you are operating at your peak efficiency, does this persistent question bother you? If this is the case, First items First may assist you in comprehending why we so often give importance to items that are irrelevant to our overall objectives and personal fulfillment. This book, written by the same author of the New York Times bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, offers advice on how to base your work on effectiveness principles so that you can spend more of your time developing sincere relationships, engaging in activities you enjoy, and striking a balance between your personal and professional lives.

Stephen M. R. Covey suggests in First Things First that you prioritize and rank chores according to significance and urgency so that you may spend your limited time concentrating on the things that really need to be done. He makes an argument for a different perspective on your "to-do" list by drawing on personal experiences and wisdom from years of working in business. First Things First gives you a compass instead of an additional clock since it believes that your destination matters more than your speed.
