There are principles behind the habits.
2) Begin With the End in Mind
On the principle of personal leadership
You are the programmer so you write the program.
The direction of one's life using value systems.
On the flips side is Beginning Without the End in Mind.
If you do not accept that you are the programmer, you will not write the programs.
You continue to let life 'happen' and live off our old programs.
Beginning with the end in mind... You create a vision for yourself with mission or purpose statements.
Beginning without the end in mind... You end up carrying around 'baggage' from your past.
Good characteristics of a mission statement:
It should reflect the situation, but should be changeless.
It should deal with ends and means. Ends and means are inseparable.
It should reflect our four needs. The need to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy.
It should implicitly or explicitly cover all the roles of your life.
3) Put first things first
On the principle of personal management
"Things that matter most should never be at the mercy of things that matter least."
The organize and prioritize the programs and ability to run the programs.
Quadrants of time management:
Importance comes from within you. Your values.
Urgency comes from the environment. Society values.
1)Urgent & Important - Deadline driven, problem or problem in the making if you neglect it.
2)Non Urgent & Important - Prevention, Preparation, Self - development, Planning, Relationship building, empowerment (leadership quadrant)
3)Urgent & Not Important - Other people's expectations.
Non Urgent & Not Important - Time wasting activities.
The 6 Step System for Prioritization:
1. Connect to your mission.
2. Study the roles you have in your life.
3. Select goals around each role.
4. Plan weekly.
5. Exercise integrity in the moment of choice.
6. Evaluate.
1) Be Proactive
On the principle of personal responsibility.
Your life is a product of your values, not your emotions.
Your life is a product of your decisions, not your conditions.
You are aware that you are the programmer.
On the flip side of being proactive is being reactive.
Not taking responsibility for your actions and your choices.
Your life is a product of your emotions, not your values.
Your life is a product of your conditions, not your decisions.
You are unaware that you are the programmer.
Between the stimulus and the response, there is a choice to make.
In those choices are growth and happiness.
The more we expand our freedoms, the more we expand our liberty. Freedom comes from internal circumstance, liberty is from external circumstance. The more of our freedoms we exercise and expand, the more liberal we can become because external circumstances can open up for us. The responses to the stimulus can eventually affect the stimulus.
