Book Presentation:First Things First by Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger & Rebecca Merrill
Book Abstract
Main Idea
Putting first things first is a new approach to time management.
The new system focuses on doing what is important rather than what is urgent. It stresses effectiveness rather than simple efficiency as the key to using time management systems to improve the quality of life. In turn, true effectiveness is based on a principle-centered approach – that is, on principles which have been revered throughout history and which have been shown to enhance the quality of a person’s life over the experience of many years and many generations.
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. The key lies in escaping the tyranny of the clock and following your internal compass.

1. The clock and the compass
Main Idea
Time management systems have typically worked on the principle of increasing efficiency - that is, of increasing the amount of tasks that are accomplished each day. However, for most people, being able to do more in the same time is not the major concern. The real issue is doing the right things - tasks that will add value to the quality-of-life.
Therefore, a new time management system is needed which not only aligns with the clock (efficiency) but also aligns with the compass of effectiveness. That is, a new system is required which allows people to spend more of their time efficiently doing those things that will add to the quality of their lives.
By closing the gap between the way people spend their time and what is most deeply important to them, quality of life can be greatly improved and enhanced.
Supporting Ideas
For most people, there is a gap between the compass and the clock - between doing what is most important and the way they spend their time. Being aware of this, the traditional approach has been to attempt to manage time better - to do more things in less time.
Over the years, time management has evolved through three distinct generations:
Notes and ListsIn the first generation of time management techniques, people become obsessed with keeping notes and check lists. By carrying a “To Do” list at all times, you hope to accomplish more.
