How do you organize your life? What goals do you have? “The 7 Habits of highly effective teens” by sean covey talks about skills you can use to set these goals and organize your life. The first 3 habits of the book have to do with being proactive and setting goals/priorities and achieving those goals.

Over the summer, I read a book titled, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Convey. The seven habits described in this book were being proactive, Beginning with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize, and sharpen the saw. The first habit Being proactive means not to make choices on impulse. it means to evaluate the situation before making a desicion. for example, two years ago when i had friends that talked behind my back i just moved on and found better friends rather than be mean to them or excluding them out of my way. The second habit Beginning with the end in mind means to think ahead at what your goals are and start working towards them. My goal for the eight grade year was to recieve a 95% or higher score in all of my classes. in order to realize this goal i worked hard through the year on assignments and and sometimes did more than what was expected of me during projects. in the end, though,

Even though high school is very different than college I think these habits stick with us. From elementary school and beyond students begin study habit, these habits are used throughout all life, of course with some adjustments along the years. Personally, I like to get my work done right away so I can stray to procrastinate. I also like to write everything out, making it easier for me to remember. I may need to alter the way I learn and adapt to college curriculum, such as planning my time in a more efficient way. Not to over whelm my self by trying to complete my work all at once, and remember to just live sometimes. To take school seriously, but to also enjoy my time is what I want to focus

In Sean Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, Covey explains ways to better yourself and how you can better others. He forms each chapter as a different habit. These habits help with self trust, social skills, and ways to make being a teenager easier. The habits are divided by private victory and public victory. Through this book, I learned better ways to communicate and a different look on the world.

The last three weeks I have learned about three habits, and they are; habit 1 being proactive, habit 2 begin with the end in mind, and lastly, habit 3 first thing's first, I have an so learned how to use them anywhere.lastly, how they can/will improve my life for good and help me through a difficult path.

In the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey brings 7 key things teens need to live a productive, open, and successful life to the table. Covey took 7 concepts teens are hesitant to tap into and made them easy to understand and adapt to. He manages to capture his audiences attention by sharing stories of other teens that we could easily relate to. Although each aspect of the habits were relatable to each aspect of my life, I was most engaged with habits 2:Begin with the end in mind, 3:Put First Things First, and Habit 4:Think Win-Win.

Habit 3 is put first things first. So a good way you can get into starting this habit is by getting a journal or calendar to document your plan and the steps you need to complete your plan to achieve your goal. This will help you keep track of what's going on. So for example , if you have a test in two days write it down in a calendar and look back at it so then you want be studying at the last minute. So always be aware of what needs to be done and what doesn't. Shirley Conran stated, "First things first, second things never"(

To begin this lesson, I will have the students complete a self-awareness survey to assess their prior knowledge and understanding of the habits we will be exploring. Once the survey is complete, I will provide an overview of the lesson. I will explain that we will be using the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey to examine healthy, successful habits and to compare those to their own habits. I will explain that the goal is to give the students an opportunity to effectively improve emotional, mental, and physical habits.

More or less, this year has been a preparation for high school. One that reigns to be vital in my mind is learning habit. From taking notes to maintaining focus, each aspect is crucial to performing well in class. Nonetheless, this has always been a struggle for me. From past experiences, I have always been vulnerable towards distractions. As a result, I was inefficient with my work and at times, performed poorly on tests. It got to a point where time started to run out each night and it struck me just how poorly I was handling my assignments. Beginning semester 2, I established a distinct plan to override my habit. Staying on top of my own learning, deterring from distractions was the first thing that came to mind; and to be frank, it was hard. There would be times where I was on the brink of succumbing to temptations, but there was one thing that kept me going, and that was- once again, grit. The manifestation of mental strength. A true testimony of dedication; It brought me

It’s a shame that listening skills aren’t taught better in elementary schools, because it is a learned behavior. The two habits that prevent me from being a better listener are: not being a patient listener, and try not to multi-task while listening. When in an interesting conversation, I tend to “jump the gun” and interrupt. This has been a problem all my life. My brain is going a mile and minute, and if feel if I don’t jump in and ask a question or make a statement, I might forget! I find when I am more patient, and wait for the other speaker to finish; I just might get the answer I was looking for without having to interrupt. The other big thing I can do is try to turn off the distractions. Because life is so busy, it is sometimes difficult to stay focused. It is so important to really listen to someone and give them your attention. In fact, I know how aggravating it is today to spend time with someone, only to find they are on their smartphones. It used to be considered rude, now it seems the

Habit 3 is put first things first this is very important for teens because it teaches

Have you ever read the book The Seven Habits of a Highly Effective Teen? This book is packed with advice from other students, doctors, teachers, and college and professional coaches from around the world. They go through problems that we have might have everyday.

Do you remember struggling in school? In your relationships with others? With yourself? Do you remember how hard it was to be a teenager? If only there was some sort of instruction manual or guide. Well, Sean Covey attempted to write one such book, drawing information from his father’s book and directing it towards the teenager. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens offers great advice for teenagers wanting to have more peace and control over their lives.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey is a modified version of his father’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Unlike Stephen Covey, who wrote his book with the audience of adults in mind, his son’s book is targeted towards teens. “ Covey avoids the academic writing style that one will find in Stephen’s and delivers the seven habits model in an easy to read, humorous style that does not lose any of the impact of the seven habits” (Change Management Coach). Being both entertaining and visually appealing, Covey goes deep into the seven habits while adding life experiences of both him and family. Included are also the stories of teens around the country. Each habit builds upon the next; therefore you cannot have habit two and three without habit one. Although together, the habits makeup an effective teen, separately, they each help in different ways, mentally and socially.

“Over two million copies sold” seeing that on the cover of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens I told myself to give it a chance. I had heard many different opinions about the book. Most of my peers were not overly excited when the y finished. However I decided to go into reading the book with a positive attitude knowing if I did enjoy it writing a paper about it would be much easier and I might even learn something. Reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens I saw many ways each habit pertained to my life. Some I felt I practiced fairly well while reading about a few others I knew I needed a little work. The habit I need the most work on is undoubtedly being proactive and the habit I need the least work on is sharpening the
