In a world where many demands can come at you from many directions, deciding what to do first can be complicated.
What is the first thing first for you at work?
What is the first thing first for you with family?
What is the first thing first with your health?
What is the first thing first with your finances?
What is the first thing first with your lifelong learning?
What is your first thing first with your spirituality?
The responses to the above questions are not straight forward. Also, after you answer them, the next question naturally arises – which of the first things from the six areas mentioned above will you in fact do first?
If you start your morning with the hour of power which would include 20 minutes exercise, 20 minutes reading something uplifting, and 20 minutes meditation, you start your day with the bang impacting your work, family, and your finances.
When you figure out what the ‘first thing first’ is for you and execute accordingly, magic happens.
Dr. Stephen Covey wrote an excellent book entitled, “First things First”, which I highly recommend!
