Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. Its living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deals with the things that are:

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the first quadrants of time management.

Quadrants 1: things those are important and urgent

Quadrants 2: things those are important but not urgent

Quadrants 3: things that are not important but are urgent

Quadrants 4: things those are not important and not urgent

1. important and 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 and not urgent. Here’s where prioritizes comes to play. The results for living quadrants 2 are:

1. Control your life

2. Balance

7 habits of highly successful teens

Habit 1

(by Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: be proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for their life. Proactive people need to understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court that they are the captain of their own ship; they are in control, control of their decision, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, action, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.

Choose the right.

my reflection: this statement is trying to say that whatever you want or whatever you are heading for, to just keep going for it and dont let it go. if you want to be an actor, go to acting school and get a manager, just dont lose that idea and keep going for that aim. if you want to graduate, keep studying and doing your work.

7 habits of highly successful teens

By Sean covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teacher isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, the 7 habits of highly effective teens, author Sean covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems the encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The lie of a teenager is full of tough issues and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen covey, wrote the book the 7 habits of highly successful people, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:
