Stephen Covey was a wise man. Few individuals have had a more lasting impact in the development of individuals as life-long learners. Part of his brilliance was his ability to break complicated principles into their simplest form, resulting in his brilliant Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

EXERCISE:

Apply today’s quote to Covey’s Seven Habits to discover your main things for the day:

• Be proactive
• Begin with the end in mind
• First things first
• Think Win-Win
• Seek first to understand, then to be understood
• Synergize
• Sharpen the saw

How will greater focus and far fewer “main things” help you realize more of your potential now, and in the future?
