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 re:
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 and Urgent

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:

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!!!
