Study Notes
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Study Notes
-
Paradigms and Principles: Paradigms are the lenses through which you view the world; they shape your behaviour. Principles, like fairness and integrity, are unchangeable truths, providing a strong foundation for growth.
-
Inside-Out Approach: Personal change starts within – focusing on character, intentions, and mindset. Taking responsibility for your life is key.
Habits for Private Victory
-
Habit 1: Be Proactive: Realize you are in charge of your choices. The gap between stimulus and response is where you decide your reaction. Focus on your Circle of Influence; use proactive language; start a 30-day challenge.
-
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind: Create a personal mission statement outlining what's important to you. Define and prioritize goals in life roles. Effective leadership involves doing the right things (not just well).
-
Habit 3: Put First Things First: Prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency (using Covey's time matrix). Focus on important, but not urgent tasks i.e. planning, learning, self-care. Learn to say "no," delegate tasks, and use tools for effective time management.
Addressing Productivity Challenges
-
Morning Challenges: Redirect productive energy. Develop a morning ritual that includes tasks (e.g. hydration, mediation, a key task). Batch creative tasks for a designated time slot.
-
Noon Distractions: Use the two-minute rule to immediately process tasks that take less than two minutes. Schedule productive power breaks (stretching or walking). Use tools to reduce screen time.
-
Productivity Hacks: Prioritize tasks with a "must-do" list. Batch small tasks (like errands or emails). Time-block tasks to dedicate specific hours to specific tasks. Reflect weekly on wins, missed goals, and adjust plans for the following week.
Interdependence and Public Victory
-
Emotional Bank Account: Treat trust as a bank account. Deposits are kindness, honesty, and empathy; withdrawals are betrayals. Cultivate healthy relationships through small, consistent interactions.
-
Synergy and Collaboration: Focus on the fact that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Effectively communicate and value diverse perspectives for better results.
