Habit 3: Put Things First

Habit 3 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 things first also means learning to overcome  fears and being  strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most. Putting 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 & urgent	2. important but not urgent
3. not important but urgent	4. not important and not urgent

 Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to send 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 from 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
