7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
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 life according to what matters
most. Putting first things deals with things that are:
Important or
not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at four quadrants:
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.

2.

4.

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!!!
