Author: you should set aside time for important things and set goals to stay on track!
Me: *sets aside time to grade essays after school
Me: *sets goal to grade 10 essays in an hour
Me: *goes home and takes nap after school
Essays: *aren't graded

My favorite part is the story about the author's younger brother whose goal was to be 6 feet tall by his senior year of high school...good for him for achieving that, but some of our parents aren't over 5'9... 🙃

The youth are writing children's books centered around being proactive. Not sure how this will go.

Habit 1 is about being proactive (taking control of things). The author says to speak up to end abuse you're experiencing. He makes the point that it's never the victim's fault but doesn't emphasize how difficult speaking up actually is. He's trying to encourage people to rise above their circumstances, but I'm not sure that losing the starting QB position in college qualifies you to give advice to abuse victims.

The author brushed off systemic racism and is starting to annoy me with his virtue signalling...we're not even halfway through habit 1 yet...

Chugging away

Every time I read the word habit I think of nuns

Don't mind me reaching a Self-discovery course and discovering right alongside the youth.
