Rate this book
From the author that brought you the New York Times bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People comes a guide to prioritizing your personal and professional goals.

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 matters 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 we so often prioritize things that are unimportant to both our larger goals and our inner happiness. From the author that brought you the New York Times bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People comes a guide to building your work on the principles of effectiveness so that your life can spent cultivating genuine relationships, investing in pursuits you enjoy, and achieving balance in both your personal and professional lives.

In First Things First, Stephen M. R. Covey advocates categorizing tasks by urgency and importance so that you can focus on what actually needs to be done in the limited amount of time that you have. Using personal examples and insight from years of business experience, he argues for a new way of looking at your “to-do” list. Rather than offering you another clock, First Things First provides you with a compass, because where you're headed is more important than how fast you're going.

Trop long pour rien. Y’a des choses pas claires. J’aurais voulu un livre sur les priorités plus au niveau entrepreneur qui va droit tout au but au lieu de tourner en rond. Je l’ai pas terminé. Je me suis rendue un peu plus de la moitié avec une écoeurantite.

Mutuelle étudiant : le budget et la capacité de paiement
Le coût est un élément essentiel dans le choix d’une mutuelle pour les étudiants. Ainsi, vous devez trouver une mutuelle étudiante qui correspond à votre budget. Cela implique de considérer non seulement la prime mensuelle, mais également les autres dépenses potentielles comme les franchises et les coûts de médicaments.
Également, il est important de ne pas négliger l’impact financier d’une mutuelle sur votre budget d’étudiant. Dès lors, assurez-vous que vous pouvez vous permettre de payer les primes mensuelles sans compromettre d’autres dépenses essentielles.
À cette fin, il peut être judicieux de consulter un conseiller en assurance pour vous aider à trouver un équilibre entre la couverture nécessaire et le coût abordable.
