First Things First
Ideas from the book First Things First by Stephen Covey, A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca Merrill:
Doing the Right Things vs. Doing Things Right, and
Doing more things faster is no substitute for doing the right things.
There’s this story about a man who climbs a ladder of success to the top, only to find that his ladder was leaning on the wrong wall.

Balance isn’t running on between compartments; It’s a dynamic equilibrium. It’s all parts working synergistically in a highly interrelated whole. Balance isn;t “either/or”. It’s And.
You think because you understand One, you must understand Two because One and One makes Two. But you also must understand And.
