Synopsis "First Things First "

First Things First is a revolutionary guide to managing your time by learning how to balance your life. Traditional time management suggests that working harder, smarter, and faster will help you gain control over your life, and that increased control will bring peace and fulfillment. But in the first real breakthrough in time management in years, the authors of First Things First apply the insights of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to our daily problems of struggling with the ever-increasing demands of work and home life. Rather than focusing on time and things, First Things First emphasizes relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasizes effectiveness. It tells us: * Why we feel a gap between how we spend our time and what's deeply important to us * How focusing on efficiency and control increases the gap instead of closing it * How to determine if what you're doing is really important -- or only urgent * How to overcome the tremendous gravity of habit * How to put people ahead of schedules * How to lead your life, not just manage your time Offering a principle-centered approach and the wisdom and insight that made The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People a #1 bestseller, First Things First empowers listeners to define what is truly important; to accomplish worthwhile goals; and to lead rich, rewarding, and balanced lives.

Stephen R. Covey (Salt Lake City, Utah, October 24, 1932 – Idaho Falls, July 16, 2012) was one of the most influential educators, writers, and speakers in leadership development and personal growth. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Utah, an MBA from Harvard, and a PhD in Religious Education from Brigham Young University, where he also taught. Covey was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held various leadership roles within the organization. His most iconic work, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989), revolutionized business literature by consolidating principles of proactivity, vision, prioritization, and synergy, and has sold over 25 million copies in 52 languages. He also published other influential titles such as First Things First, Principle-Centered Leadership, The 8th Habit, and The Speed of Trust.

Recognized as one of the 25 most influential Americans by Time magazine in 1996, Covey received ten honorary doctorates and the Fatherhood Award from the National Fatherhood Initiative, among other distinctions. He founded the Covey Leadership Center in 1985, which merged with Franklin Quest in 1997 to create FranklinCovey, a global leader in consulting and training leaders and teams. Covey's legacy endures in millions of readers and organizations worldwide that have adopted his principles to achieve effectiveness and transformative leadership.
