First Things First — Reader discussion

I found 'First Things First' refreshingly practical because it challenges the traditional rush to tick off urgent tasks and instead encourages us to focus on what really matters in the long run. Covey's emphasis on aligning daily activities with deeper values resonated with me, especially the concept of the 'Quadrant II' tasks that are important but not urgent. It’s helped me rethink how I plan my days and avoid the burnout of just reacting to crises. Have you tried applying the quadrant system in your daily routine yet?

What struck me most was the book’s holistic perspective—not just about managing time but about managing life priorities. Covey’s advice made me realize how often I let urgent but trivial things hijack my day, leaving little room for meaningful goals and relationships. The idea of 'putting first things first' is simple but powerful, and it really encourages reflection on what we’re truly aiming for. Did you find any particular strategy in the book that helped you identify your real priorities?
