Brief review: It's a classic book on time management and more by Stephen Covey. It's the extension of the third habit 'Put first things first' mentioned in his book '7 habits of highly effective people'. The famous 'four quadrants of time management' is explained in much detail. The power of goals and integrity in the moment of choice can bring remarkable difference in life. Three critical message in the book is - 1. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. 2. Focus on 'important but not urgent works' for dramatic results. 3. Plan weekly, not daily. If you are struggling with managing your time and living a life of passion, this book is for you.
