Those Who Get The Most Out Of

Effective People Stay Out Of Quadrants Iii And Iv Because, Urgent Or Not, They Aren't Important. They Also Shrink Quadrant I Down To Size By Spending More Time In Quadrant Ii...quadrant Ii Is The Heart Of Effective Personal Management.

The Most Effective Way I Know To Begin With The End In Mind Is To Develop A Personal Mission Statement Or Philosophy Or Creed. It Focused On What You Want To Be (character) And To Do (contributions And Achievements) And On The Values Or Principles Upon Which Being And Doing Are Based.

Our Behavior Is Governed By Principles. Living In Harmony With Them Brings Positive Consequences; Violating Them Brings Negative Consequences.
