Habits of highly effective people (summary)


    Be proactive:


Reactive people believe the world is happening to them. they focus on things that are in their circle of concern, but not in their circle of influence.
proactive people recognize that they are able to choose how they will respond to a given situation. they focus on the things they can do something about.




Begin with the End in Mind:

Start with a clear destination to determine your steps. Identify your values and live by them.
 • Visualize in detail your own funeral. What are they saying about how you lived your life, and your relationships? What do you want them to say? Change your priorities accordingly.
 • Break down different roles in your life -whether professional, personal or in a community. List 3-5 goals you want to achieve for each.
 • Define what scares you and write down exactly how you'll handle it.



Think Win-Win:


In order to establish effective interdependent relationships, create a win-win situation that is mutually beneficial and satisfying to each party.
To achieve Win-Win, keep the focus on results, not methods; on problems, not people.


Synergize:


      Understanding and valuing the differences in other people will allow you as a group to uncover new possibilities. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.


Continuous renewal:

To be effective, we must spend time renewing ourselves spiritually, physically, mentally and socially. This must be done regularly and in balanced ways.
Seek also to inspire others, by listening to them empathically and encouraging them to be proactive.



Go after your goals:

Prioritize your day-to-day actions based on what is most important, not what is most urgent.
Be disciplined to follow these actions regardless of how you feel at any given moment.Maintain a primary focus on relationships and results, and a secondary focus on time.


Seek First to Understand:

... then to be understood.
We need to learn to listen first and try to understand the other person's needs and concerns. When you are able to do that, you increase the credibility of your ideas.

Effects of music on productivity  • Listening to music with lyrics is distracting for most people. It’s best to avoid it when working on tasks that require focus or the learning of new information.  • Listening to music with lyrics may help people working on repetitive or mundane tasks.  • Classical or rock music allows people to identify numbers more quickly and accurately.  • Ambient noise, or ambient music, at about 70 decibels can be the best kind of music for work productivity.

YOU ARE VERY MUCH ON TIME

.   𒂏 Obama retired at 55, Trump started at 70 Sydney is 3 hours ahead of Perth,  but that doesn't make Perth slow.  Someone graduated at the age of 22,  but waited 5 years before securing a good job. Someone became a CEO at 25 and died at 50. While another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years. Someone is still single, while someone else got married. Everyone in this world works  based on their tie zone. People around you might seem to be ahead  of you and some might seem to be ahead  But everyone is running their own race, in their own time. Do not envy them and do not mock them. They are in their time zone, and you are in yours. LIFE IS ABOUT WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO ACT. So relax. You're not early. You're not late . You are very much on time.
