What are the “7 habits of the most effective people” - Stephen Covey?
🔹Success is not a coincidence, it is the result of accumulated daily habits that help in achieving personal and professional goals. In his famous book, “The Seven Habits of Most Effective People,” Stephen Covey lays out a practical approach to self-development and boosting productivity by adopting positive habits that make a real difference in our lives.
🔹In the beginning, if you want to change the situation, you must first change yourself. And in order to achieve this, we must change our perceptions about things around us, which include:
1️⃣Mental Patterns (Paradigms): is the way we see the world, not as it actually is, but as we are.
2️⃣ Principles: Natural laws that cannot be broken, while practices differ in different attitudes.
3️⃣ Habits: Habits are not formed overnight, but through small actions, repeated over time.
4️⃣ Productivity and productivity balance (P/PC Balance): Effectiveness lies in achieving a balance between production and productivity.
