The Leading Edge Newsletter

How to Put First Things First

Stephen Covey, author of First Things First, offers these suggestions for balancing your life and work:

• Spend less time on unimportant activities, no matter how urgent they may seem
• Don’t be a deadline addict – someone who procrastinates until the last moment, but seems to thrive on the adrenaline rush they get when racing to the finish line. In the process they neglect important life roles.
• Work effectively and plan to meet deadlines by doing the work at the proper time.
• Consider what people will say about you on your 86th birthday. Then, decide what you want them to say.
• Find ways to make the favourable description of your life come true.
