2. PUT FIRST THING FIRST

What one thing could
you do that if you did on
a regular basis, would
make a tremendous
positive difference on
your personal life?
What one thing in
your business or
professional life
would bring similar
results?

3. PUT FIRST THING FIRST
Putting first things first is the practical
fulfillment of Habits 1 (Be proactive) and 2
(Begin with the end in mind).
You’ve got a lot to do
and there just isn’t
enough time.

4. PUT FIRST THING FIRST
Then you have to manage yourselves
effectively in order to create a life
congruent to our answers; we enter the
realm of effective management. So the habit
3 is about will-power and won’t-power.

5. RUNNING THE PROGRAM
Covey qualifies our daily activities
with two factors: urgent and important.

6. URGENT VS. IMPORTANT
Effective people don’t spend their
time on non-important activities
because:
THEY’RE NOT IMPORTANT.
Urgency is based on
•priorities
•expectations of others.

7. URGENT
Urgent things aren’t bad. The problem
comes when we become so focused on urgent
things that we put off other important things
instead.
LEARN TO FOCUS ON
WHAT IS IMPORTANT!

8. PLAN WEEKLY
1. Identify Your Big Rock
Plan to accomplish for the
upcoming week.
2. Block Out Time for You Big Rock
Put the big rocks in the bucket first,
followed by the pebbles.
3. Schedule Everything Else
The more you
organize your
clothes, the
more you can
fit in.

9. ADAPT DAILY
Rearrange some big rocks and pebbles now
and then. Try your best to follow your plan, but if
you don’t accomplish everything you set out to do,
no big deal. Don’t let your fear and dejection make
your decisions. It not easy, but we should control
yourself and be able to over come our fear.

10. ADAPT DAILY
Facing peer
pressure.
Hard moments
are conflicts
between doing the
right thing and
doing the easier
thing.

11. THE OTHER HALF
Don’t let your fear and
dejection make your
decisions. It not easy, but we
should control yourself and
be able to over come our fear.
It also important to overcome your
fear and pressure. It take courage and guts
to stay true to our first things, like a values
and standards, when the pressure in on.

12. COMFORT & COURAGE
In habit 3, it may often cause you to
stretch outside your comfort zone.
Comfort Zone is the zone that you are
familiar with. Get out of your comfort zone
to be successful.

13. COMFORT AND COURAGE
Courage zone, may contain
adventure, risk and challenge. This may
make you stress, it also have possibility of
failure. But it’s also the place to go for
opportunity and the only place in which
you’ll ever reach your full potential.

14. DON’T YOUR FEARS MAKE YOUR
DECISION
Don’t let your failures stop you
from doing anything. Be strong in hard
moments, and everything will pass. Your
friends might encourage you to do bad
things, but don’t bend into PEER
PRESSURE.

15. INGREDIENT OF SUCCESS
DISCIPLINE IS ALL IT NEEDS
Successful people sometimes
does things they do not like to
do to succeed.
