Description
I’m getting more done in less time, but where are the rich relationships, the inner peace, the balance, the confidence that I’m doing what matter most and doing it well? Does this nagging question haunt you, even when you feel you are being your most efficient? If so, First Things First can help you understand why so often our first things aren’t first.

Rather than offering you another clock, First Things First provide you with a compass, because where you’re headed is more important than how fast you’re going.
