You are not a highly effective person but you can become one

Habit number three: put the first things first. It's even sad to say this because a lot of people out there are so busy but get nothing done and complain about not having enough time. Complaining is not going to stop time and we all have the same amount, so we are left with one option: managing ourselves according to time. And that's why I believe that instead of trying to fit everything in our day, by knowing what we want and by being proactive each day, we should focus on only one or two things that will yield the most results to our life and get it done. Then after accomplishing those important tasks, if we have time left, we can try to fit other things.

Habit number four: seek to understand, then to be understood. I have to admit a few years ago, I've always thought that I was a good listener, but I was dead wrong. I was listening with the mindset to reply. Now I know that seeking to understand requires us not only to hear what the other person says but also to put ourselves in their shoes, to try to fully understand them emotionally and intellectually, and see things the way the person sees it. It's a very powerful technique because people will feel safe to share their true feelings around you, which will help build trust and create a strong emotional link
