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

7 Habits of Highly Successful Students

7 Habits of Highly Successful Students

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jangle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with the peer pressure? Mountain? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say.” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential. Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen covey, wrote the book 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:
