1. Putting First Things First
03.01

2. Learning Target
I can reflect on how my roles and responsibilities impact my ability to reach my goals
Success Criteria
I can identify the skills and strategies I use to acheive my goals
I can explain what is meant by “First Things First” and how it applies to my life

3. Connection to Habit 2 (you will need a separate piece of paper for the day)
Look back at habit 2. Summarize what “begin with the end in mind” means to you. Include references to goals and mission statement.
How do you think Habit 3, “put first things first” will connect/build upon Habit 2?

4. On the same piece of paper...
Create a venn diagram
In one circle, put something you wanted but didn’t get.
In the other, put something you wanted and did get
What process did you use when you ‘got’ what you wanted?
What process did you use when you did not get what you wanted?
Car (Got)
Puppy (Didn’t Get)
Wanted it
Knew it would cost money
Created a Plan
Saved money
Got a job
Researched
Thought it’d be cute
Asked parents
Daydreamed about it

5. Pair and Share
Share with other people your statement. What similarities do you start to notice between how you and others got things you wanted and things you didn’t get?

6. Vocab Square As we read pg. 106 of the 7 Habits, let’s take a look at:
How do we define it?
What would it look like if we did it?
What are some times we have already done it?
What are some times where we haven’t?

7. Your roles On your piece of paper:
Record the major and minor roles and responsibilities that you have.
After you’ve listed these roles, rank them in order of their importance by numbering them (1 for most important and so on).

8. Closure
Read pages (we will spend more time on this next class period)
Provide a brief definition of each quadrant
See if you can come up with personal examples (at least 1) for each of the quadrants.
