This work offers a summary of the book “FIRST THINGS FIRST: To Live, to Love, to Learn, to Leave a Legacy” by Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger & Rebecca Merrill.

In First Things First, Stephen Covey presents a new organizing process which focuses on doing what is important rather than what is urgent. Time management systems have typically worked on the principle of increasing efficiency - that is, of increasing the amount of tasks that are accomplished every day. However, the real issue is doing the right things – tasks that will add value to the quality-of-life. Putting first things first is not a quick-fix shortcut to business success. Rather, it stresses living a meaningful life rather than a purely efficient life. It is based on the premise that the deepest motivations felt by every person are to live, to love, to learn and then to leave a legacy for future generations.

Internationally renowned leadership authority and bestselling author Stephen Covey shows you how to look at your use of time differently. First Things First is a book that everyone can benefit from.
