Will and Won’t Power

Make it a habit

 Habit 1 “Be Proactive” says….

 “You’re the driver, not the passenger, of your life”

 Habit 2 “Begin with the end in mind” says…

 “Decide where you want to go and how you’ll get

there”

 So now for Habit 3 “Put first things first”…

Made up of two parts

 Learning to prioritize

and manage your

time

 Learning to

overcome fear and

peer pressure

Part One: Time Management

Important vs. Urgent

 Important- your first things, activities that

contribute to your mission and your goals, your

most important things.

 Examples?

 Urgent-pressing things, in-your-face things,

activities that demand immediate attention

 Examples?

When we focus on urgent things,

the important things get pushed aside

Q1 THE PROCRASTINATOR Motto: “I’m going to stop procrastinating…sometime soon.”  There will always be Q1 things that we can’t control  Last minute meeting  Illness  By putting things off, like projects or cramming for tests, people become a “stress case”  Spending too much of your time here causes  Stress and anxiety  Burnout  Mediocre performance Day 2

Q3 THE YES MAN Motto: “Tomorrow, I’m going to be more assertive-if that’s okay with you.”  People who spend a lot of time in this quadrant attend to matters that are urgent and may seem important, but are not. For example, constantly texting back. This quadrant is also full of things that are important to other people, but are not important to you  Results of spending too much time here:  Being a people pleaser  Lack of discipline  Feeling like a doormat for others to wipe their feet on

Q2 THE PRIORITIZER Motto:” First things first.”  The quadrant of excellence. This person plans ahead for doing first things first.  The Prioritizer has the simple but powerful habit of planning ahead. She does her homework on time, makes time to exercise and makes sure the people that matter most in her life like family and friends, come first. She’s learned to say no with a smile.  Results of spending time here are  Control of your life  Balance  High performance
