The Power and Peace of Principle-Centered Living

One of the greatest benefits of learning the concept of First Things First is that my focus has changed to who I am becoming, not just what I'm doing.

Three Generations of Time Management (Task List, Personal Organizers, Values Clarification)

Framework for prioritizing work that is aimed at long-term goals

One of the most important principles I've gleaned from the book is daily

planning

To focus on producing results and leading a more balanced life.
