A guide to managing your time by learning how to balance your life.
"As the home front and the work front become increasingly integrated in contemporary life, success--or failure--in either has an undeniable effect on the other. But it is possible to keep both areas moving forward in positive ways. In this much anticipated book, A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca Merrill show readers how to navigate the critical relationships between time and money, work and family, to create a harmonious, success-enhancing dynamic between each. Life Matters guides readers in how to spend time and money in ways that translate the personal values and goals that matter most into daily life experience."--Publisher's description.
In the spirit of THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE, the international bestseller, FIRST THINGS FIRST is a revolutionary guide to managing your time by learning how to balance your life. Traditional time management suggests that working harder, smarter and faster will help you gain control of your life, and that increased control will bring peace and fulfilment. The authors of FIRST THINGS FIRST disagree. In the first real breakthrough in time management in years, Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca R. Merrill apply the insights of the 7 HABITS to the daily problems of people who must struggle with the ever increasing demands of work and home life. Rather than focusing on time and things, FIRST THINGS FIRST emphasises relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasises effectiveness. Covey offers a principle-centred approach that will empower readers to define what is truly important; to accomplish worthwhile goals; and to lead rich, rewarding and balanced lives.
FIRST THINGS FIRST HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT EVERY DAY...Stephen R. Covey and the Merrills have shown millions of readers how to balance the demands of a schedule with the desire for fulfillment. Now the principles they introduced in "First Things First" are distilled for everyday reading. Let "First Things First Every Day" be your guide to the rich relationships, the inner peace, and the confidence that come from knowing where you're headed, and why.
