I really enjoy the series of the 7 habits. Something I definitely need to explore further and most likely will have to listen to in the future again. Very useful tips for prioritizing daily tasks, relationships and dealing with urgent matters that take time away from the important things in life. I will implement some of this in my daily life for sure.
