GRADE 8
HABIT #3: Put First things First
Lesson 14 and 15 - organization and big rocks
In Habit 2, you decided what was important to you and what direction you want to go in life. Habit 3 will now give you the tools to put the important stuff first so that you can achieve your goals and mission. By Putting First Things First, you will be able to recognize the roadblocks that knock you off course!

Taking the time to sit down and map out a weekly plan is essential to the success of Habit 3. You must review your mission, your goals, your roles, and then determine the big rocks that you need to fit in. It can be overwhelming, but if you take a little time before the start of the week, you will save a bunch of time throughout the week. Use the planning sheet posted here or design one of your own that works for you!

To maximize your time and energy, be sure to schedule in your "big rocks" first. The small pebbles and sand will then fit in where it can, much like the smaller and less important details in life!
