The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Once you have a clear picture of your priorities that is values, goals, and high leverage activities organize around them.

All things are created twice. There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things.

Seek first to understand, then to be understood

Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. We can subordinate feelings to values.

It doesn't matter where you're coming from; all that matters is where you are going. You can't talk your way out of problems you behave yourself into.
