First Things First

In First Things First, renowned leadership expert Stephen R. Covey—author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People—teams up with A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca R. Merrill to offer a powerful and practical guide to time management that goes beyond efficiency and focuses on what truly matters.

Rather than offering quick fixes or prioritizing urgent tasks, this book introduces a principle-centered approach that helps readers align their daily activities with their deepest values. It challenges the traditional time management mindset and instead emphasizes living with clarity, purpose, and balance.

Through relatable examples, self-assessment tools, and the well-known Time Management Matrix (urgent vs. important), First Things First empowers readers to:

Identify and focus on their most meaningful goals

Say no to distractions and low-value tasks

Create a schedule that reflects what matters most in life

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by busyness or simply seeking more purpose-driven productivity, First Things First offers timeless wisdom to help you live with intention and lead a more fulfilling life.
