One of the greatest benefits of learning the concept of First Things First is that my focus has changed to who I am becoming, not just what I'm doing.
Three Generations of Time Management (Task List, Personal Organizers, Values Clarification)
Framework for prioritizing work that is aimed at long-term goals
One of the most important principles I've gleaned from the book is daily
planning
To focus on producing results and leading a more balanced life.
