Author: Stephen R. Covey

If you passed on this amazing book a few years ago, here’s your chance to review what I believe to be one of the more functional books of the past decade. While reviewing my original notes recently I realized that this is a must share.
Covey developed a unique take on ‘time management;’ truly a misnomer, as the context is fundamentally about energy management and life management.
In the true sense you cannot manage time, but you can prevent it from managing you; and you are the one inserting the content that moves your life forward; either mundanely  or, as I live it, in Sequential Overdrive.

Some outtakes from Covey’s cleanly executed narrative:

•  Anything less than a conscious commitment to the important is an unconscious commitment to the unimportant.

• The Management Matrix:  The four quadrants

• The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing!

• The Center of Focus: To spend time in any other circle diminishes our effectiveness.

• The objective is not to fill the container to the ‘brim.’

• There is a powerful difference when we live in the Kairos or Abundance  Paradigm.
