“What one thing could do in your personal and professional life that, if you did on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference in your life?”

– Stephen Covey, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”

Are you making time in your day to get your most important — to YOU — task/s done?

In another blog of mine entitled, “First Things First,” about Stephen Covey’s classic, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” I wrote about how when we take the time to figure out what our core values are — what we are doing here and why — then it becomes significantly easier to determine what really needs to get done in our day…and prioritize accordingly.

In this blog, I will delve into another suggestion by Covey that can help us ensure we DO stay on track with our priorities — what really matters to us — and not waste too much precious time and energy on tasks and activities that may demand our immediate attention but are NOT important.

“Time management is really a misnomer. The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.”
