Reflection on Habit 3 of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey !

I've been reading Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People over the last couple months. It discusses developing independence first, and then interdependence: and this can be accomplished by practicing 7 habits, namely:

Be proactive

Begin with the end in mind

Put first things first

Seek first to understand

Think win-win

Synergise

Sharpen the saw

Recently, I've been practicing the habits of private victory, that is, the habits that constitute independence (Habits 1, 2, & 3).

Independence comes from focusing your attention to matters that are within your circle of influence, and accepting what is beyond your control.

It comes from recognising what truly matters to you, your inner values, and centring your resources and mental paradigms on fulfilling your inner compass. Basically, it means developing a mental map of the territory; navigating the world based on what matters to you.

It then comes from the application of your self-awareness for your deepest values: How can you allocate your time, energy, and focus to reach the goals that are most important to you? Covey reintroduces the Eisenhower Matrix by explaining what the four quadrants mean for true independence.

Focus on Quadrant II. That is, activities that aren't urgent, but are important and align with our inner values.

Individuals who focus too much on "putting out fires" in Quadrant I never have the time to allocate to the things that bring them closer to their long-term goals. That's many of us.

We aren't necessarily productive when we're busy; we're productive when we make progress towards our most important destinations.

This month, this is my priority. My focus has been on working on Habit 3: Put first things first. So here's how I applied it:

Screenshot of my notes app: Roles and Goals

These are some of my important roles in life, and some goals for each role that I feel align with what matters to me most.

I find self-improvement (and improvement in general) to be a key motivator in everything I do. This self-awareness produced goals that are representative of me as an individual, and not of external criteria for success.

Furthermore, Covey's concept of "Roles and Goals" is great because we can work on developing ourselves in a breadth of aspects -- not neglecting one when we focus on another!

I've condensed these long-term goals related to my roles in life into mini sub-goals that I can achieve on a day-to-day basis. These "mini goals" bring me closer to my long-term goals, but aren't overwhelming in any way.

I track these goals on my favorite task management app, Todoist!

These projects in Todoist allow me to organize my tasks based on what "Role" they are connected to.

I make sub-tasks to create the small steps that I can take to reach a bigger goal.

Lastly, I use Google Calendar to schedule all my Quadrant II activities for the week, so I don't procrastinate on the activities aligning with my principles. In the gaps, I can slot in activities that are urgent (coursework + deadlines + meetings). This way, we can handle urgent matters while also working on our long-term goals -- meaning sustainable progress!

I hope this reflection gives you the drive to introduce Habit 3: Put first things first in your own life. Try out the applications (Roles + Goals, Task management, Scheduling) that I've discussed in this post to take charge and achieve the goals that actually matter to you. In essence, find success by knowing how to prioritise your inner values instead of putting out fires that never mattered in the first place.

Thank you for reading!

The performance of small and medium scale enterprises SMEs in Nigeria seem to be adversely affected as a result of poor entrepreneurial orientation, hence, the need to carry out this study to identify the extent of the relationship that exists between proactiveness and customers patronage of SMEs in South East, Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for the study, with a target population of 35,535 SMEs in the study region. A sample of 396 respondents were selected through the application of Taro Yamane Formula. Data collection was carried out through a structured questionnaire, while the analysis of the collected data was handled using descriptive and inferential statistics. Hypothesis was tested 5 level of significance. The Result revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between the proactiveness of SMEs and customer patronage r= 0.55 p value 0.05 . The study, therefore, concluded that entrepreneurial orientation is a key part of the survival strategies of SMEs as the proactiveness of the SMEs go a long way in building confidence in customers and retaining their patronage. Sequel to this, it was recommended among others, that the management of small businesses should build their anticipatory capacity to be able to take proactive steps to remedy situations to avoid devastating effects in the future.

All the PR strategies come down to be a void in the absence of an effective Media Relations. It is much needed to strike the right conversation with the right media person and seal the opportunity to the advantage of both.

A Day in Review

3/12/17

Today was a good day. I helped with dressing DM’s group of residents, fed PTR breakfast in her room by myself, and in general was more proactive with my duties (transporting, dressing, feeding, etc.)

Even though I slept late yesterday (and it was daylight savings time), I was very awake all day, even as I headed home at 10am for MMI’s satsang.

After the puja ended, PR, PRC, and I played Holi in our front patio. PR was oddly shy about putting powder on people’s faces. After we went outside, she very gently placed it on my face. It was funny ‘cause she’s normally so wild with stuff like this, or so I imagined. PRC went crazy as usual, and I had just as great a time as I did at the FSN Holi.
