Steven Covey's "The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People"
Habit 1: Be Proactive
Are my actions based upon self-chosen values or upon my
moods, feelings, and circumstances?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Habit 2: Begin With The End In Mind
Have I written a personal mission statement which provides
meaning, purpose, and direction to my life? Do my actions
flow from my mission?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Am I able to say no to the unimportant, no matter how
urgent, and yes to the important?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Do I seek mutual benefit in all interdependent relationships?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then Seek To Be Understood
Do I avoid autobiographical responses and instead faith-
fully reflect my understanding of the other person before
seeking to be understood?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Habit 6: Synergize
Do I value different opinions, viewpoints, and perspectives
of others when seeking solutions?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Habit 7: Sharpen The Saw
Am I engaged in continuous improvement in the physical,
mental, spiritual, and social/emotional dimensions of my life?
