Habit
3 is about Will and Will not power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage
their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in
their lives. Putting things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It’s living
life according to what matters most. Putting things first deals with things
that are:

or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of
time management:
