REVIEW
By Frankie Perez
Following the success of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey and Roger and Rebecca Merrill, guide us through a revolutionary “principle-centered” approach to managing and balancing your life. Rather that focusing on time and things, First Things First emphasizes relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasizes effectiveness.
This book promotes a radical paradigm shift in how we view time and offers a sound philosophical perspective of how to lead truly satisfying and rich lives by addressing the interdependence among the four basic human needs: physical, mental, social, and spiritual.
The authors offer the following Time Management Matrix:
Quadrant I: Important & Urgent
Quadrant II: Important & Not Urgent
Quadrant III: Not Important & Urgent
Quadrant IV: Not Important & Not Urgent
By learning how to categorize our roles and our time according to the above matrix, First Things First encourages the reader to define what is truly important in his/her life and fulfill the title’s promise of : to live, to love, to learn, and to leave a legacy.
