Habit 3: Put Things First

Habit 3 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 things first also means learning to overcome  fears and being  strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most. Putting things first deals with things that are:

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 but are Urgent

Quadrant 4: Things that are not Important and not Urgent

1.   Important & 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 send our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities  come into play. The results for living Quadrant 2 are:

1.Control  of your life

2.Balance

3.High Performance

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? the key is to shift as much time as possible from 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!!!!!

“You make your habits and your habits make you”

Anon

I think that this quote means that whatever you do on a daily basis is your habit. Like for a example, if you exercise everyday then you will get used and feel like you have to be doing that every single day. And I think that our habits makes us what we are means that the things you do every day on a daily basis say something about you if you run every day it shows that you are an athletic person. Or if you get into to trouble every day at school I think it means that you are a trouble maker and you like to waste your time and everybody’s time as well.  The habits you do reflect the type of person that you are. Whether it’s good or bad. Either way you need to make sure that the habits you choose are good so they reflect well upon you and others as well.
