A powerful and thought-provoking, “First Things First" is written
by Stephen R. Covey, and his associates A. Roger Merrill, and
Rebecca R. Merrill published in 1994.The essence of this book is
to put the first things first i.e. the underlying idea of the book
proclaims about the philosophy of setting priorities. This principle
is actually Habit 3 from Stephen Covey's best-selling book The 7
Habits of Highly Effective People. This book propose a radical
thought and approach to time management- the essence of time
management is to organize and execute around priorities. This is
principle-centered approach. It transcends the traditional
prescriptions of doing more, faster, harder, and smarter. Rather
than offering ‘a clock,’ the authors advocate developing ‘a
compass,’ emphasizing that life is not merely a matter of speed or
efficiency, but it’s much more a matter of what you do and why
you do it and where you are headed i.e. to achieve effectiveness. It
emphasizes on making the distinction between what’s merely
“urgent” and what’s really “important” and helps to figure out the
excellent techniques for identifying those which are important to
put at first
