Does anybody know what time it is?...

First things first by Steven Covey

This is an old book but a timeless classic.  Based on principles that remain true today as they did when covey wrote it back in 1994.
  
Covey’s book changed the way we looked at time management.  He made a comparison between a clock and a compass.

Traditional time management was similar to a clock.  Write a list, check things off when done and that is it.  Success!  The faster you check things off the better because the clock is ticking.  But a clock tells time and that’s all it does.

Covey says, instead, time management is more like a compass.  A compass tells the direction.  In the book he talks more about the importance of direction versus time.

This book is more than highly recommended.
