Overview

I'm getting more done in less time, but where are the rich relationships, the inner peace, the balance, the confidence that I'm doing what matters most and doing it well?

Does this nagging question haunt you, even when you feel you are being your most efficient? If so, First Things First can help you understand why so often our first things aren't first. Rather than offering you another clock, First Things First provides you with a compass, because where you're headed is more important than how fast you're going.

The clock & the compass/the synergy of interdependence/the power & peace of principle-centered living.

Charles A. Garfield, Ph.D. author of Peak Performers β€” The New Heroes of American Business Roger Merrill's work is an excellent contribution for all individuals who want to connect their real attitudes, beliefs, and actions in the world.

Larry King CNN Covey has reached the apex with First Things First. This is an important work. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be helped by reading it.

From Barnes & Noble

Emphasizing relationships and results rather than increased control, this revolutionary guide to managing your time teaches you how to balance your life. Learn why focusing on efficiency often makes things worse, how to put people ahead of schedules, more.
