Publisher's Summary:
Rather than focusing on time and things, First Things First emphasizes relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasizes effectiveness. It tells us why we feel a gap between how we spend our time and what's deeply important to us; how focusing on efficiency and control increases the gap instead of closing it; how to determine if what you're doing is really important, or only urgent; how to overcome the tremendous gravity of habit; how to put people ahead of schedules; and how to lead your life, not just manage your time.
Offering a principle-centered approach and the wisdom and insight that made The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People a #1 best seller, First Things First empowers listeners to define what is truly important; to accomplish worthwhile goals; and to lead rich, rewarding, and balanced lives.

Members Reviews:
its just a Overview.. Disappointed
What would have made First Things First better?
I purchased hoping that i would cover the entire book. Well it just overview in 1 hr timeframe. I hope you will release entire book.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment because it didn't cover the entire book for this money.
NOT THE WHOLE BOOK,
What disappointed you about First Things First?
This recording is only a little over an hour long. The book is nearly 300 pages. Do the math. Most of it's missing.
What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Included the entire book as this is not the abridged version
How did the narrator detract from the book?
He didn't read the whole thing.
Any additional comments?
Skip it. Buy the book.
Warning: Only one hour long.
Any additional comments?
This is an abridged version of the book. I bought it under the assumption that it would be a full audio book and was disappointed to find it was only 1 hour long.
Nothing New over the other books
I can't say that there is anything new here. This book does not seem to answer the question of how to put First things First as the title suggests. In my humble opinion this is just a filler book. One written to keep the public interested in Franklin Covey until they could come up with something else. if your are trying to develop your Mission statement and roles and goal and to follow thru on them a better book to get is What Matters Most.
This book is excellent
This is an excellent book. It helps one to develop a schedule based on correct principles instead of on a clock system. That way your time is spent doing what is important rather than have your life dominated by the urgent. (urgent doesn't necessarily mean important), listen to the book.
I have ADHD and this recording and the print book have been very valuable to me. I would recommend using it along with the print version of the book along with the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
