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 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
Quadrant4: Things that are not Important and Not Urgent
1. Important & Urgent
|
2. Important but not Urgent

3. Not Important but are Urgent
|
4. Not Important and Not Urgent

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.

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!!!
