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.

 First Things First
I found this book to be extremely helpful. It provides a framework for success that also demands a balanced living approach. Well worth the read for anyone looking to move forward in life without having to sacrifice everything else.

Secrets to Effective Weight Loss
 Extremely poor quality
If I recall, the book was listed as good or very good condition. It was extremely old. Pages were not just yellowed, they were brown and so fragile that some were broken away in pieces.
The smell was very musty; almost a vinegary smell.
Books in this condition usually have dust mites, and I am assuming this one does, because I started sneezing the moment I opened it, and therefore had to go to a local "brick and mortar" store to replace it so that I could finish in time for a discussion of the book ith my boss, who suggested that I read it.
I am very disappointed and will never buy from this seller again.
Excellent Book
This book is a good book and great in achieving and organizing time throughout your daily life. It teaches one how to manage their time effectively and how to appreciate the smaller things in life.
A Must Have
I read this book back in 1997, when I was still struggling to decide which major to take in college.
This book is one of those rare books that left a mark on my life, a very prominent mark. I have it still on my bookshelf, I tend to glance in it sometimes, reminding myself the long path I've taken since.
It's more of an attitude adjustment than actual time-management systems. I didn't take everything in this book as it was written, but I also didn't avoid trying out every single idea there.
Finding greater meaning for life through continuous learning and leaving a legacy - these two were the key concepts that got me on the right track and kept bringing me back when I was hitting rock bottoms and got depressed. These questions that Covey keeps asking thorough out the whole book, they're not there for nothing - ponder and hard think about them. You'll discover so many aspects of yourself you had no idea of.
I think this book should be on any university course's read list.
Highly recommend this book. Time is money!
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by little things, frustrated with traditional time management, and in need of some tools to bring clearer focus to their life and their goals.
Rather than offering you another clock, First Things First provides you with a compass. While other programs teach you harder, faster, and smarter First Things First teaches you direction and priorities because where you are heading is more important than how fast you are going.
This is the best book on time management I have ever read.. It takes the "Habits" principles--sometimes a bit too abstract and shows you how to put them to work. Excellence is not required by their success formula. You are guided in choosing how driven you want to be by your priorities, and you'll know what (or who) is suffering when you decide to read junk mail.
I started to look for Rags to Riches stories for inspiration and motivation and I bumped into Horatio Alger novels. In many of these stories you can see how ordinary people apply time management, most times unconsciously, to achieve amazing things. Enjoy:
