Today Kate applied critical thinking to the third of the Habits of Covey's system for success, "Putting first things first." She created a chart where she listed four of her roles: sister, daughter, student, and gymnast. Following this, she thought about her long-term goals in each situation, and then what one thing she could do this week, specifically, in each category that would head in that right direction. She then wrote this out on the chart and posted it on her board. Her homework is to actually do the four things that she specifically thought of, and perhaps she will make this a regular habit to achieve her highest purposes in the most important areas of her life.
