Habit #3 is PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST.
This one is easily the hardest habit to live. It's all about prioritizing. Each week you have to decide which are the most important things for you to accomplish. Don't neglect any important area of your life (family, friends, academics, extra-curriculars, etc.). Plan to do the most important things in all of those areas. Once you knock those off, you can do some of the silly things we do to occupy ourselves.
Here are five of Covey's suggestions for you. Choose ONE of them. Copy and paste it into your bellringer document. Then explain why you chose that step.
- Set a goal to use a planner for a month. Stick to your plan.
- Identify your biggest time-waster (games, Netflix, social media?) Commit to cutting back.
- Are you always being asked to volunteer, and you ALWAYS say yes? Next time, say no when it's the right thing to do.
- Study a little each day for an upcoming test INSTEAD of waiting until the night before.
- Think of something you've been needing to do for a long time, but have procrastinated. Get it done.
