Unfortunately, I use words like a scalpel, so when I\u2019m saying \u201cstuff\u201d, I mean exactly that&#8230;a conglomeration of imprecise tasks, projects, and physical items that can\u2019t be defined more closely.

If you haven\u2019t been living under a rock since the original publication of the book in 1990, you\u2019ve probably heard of this book. You\u2019re probably also at least remotely familiar with the 7 habits themselves, namely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Habit 1: Be Proactive<\/li>\n<li>Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind<\/li>\n<li>Habit 3: Put First Things First<\/li>\n<li>Habit 4: Think Win-Win<\/li>\n<li>Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood<\/li>\n<li>Habit 6: Synergize<\/li>\n<li>Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s pretty obvious from the list that these are big-picture ideas. They\u2019re not so much about tactics to be used to get things done everyday, but rather an approach to life. They\u2019re the \u201cwhat\u201d should be done concepts along with some aspects of the \u201chow\u201d things should be done. In short, the book is a bit like a manual for dealing with all the people that you will encounter along your life\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And that\u2019s what frustrates me about Stephen\u2019s book. I know what I should be doing, but I really struggle actually living out the seven habits. I\u2019ve read the book (along with other books written by Mr. Covey) over and over. I\u2019ve tried to incorporate the ideas into my daily life as well as into those times when I\u2019m thinking about the bigger picture of where I\u2019m headed, why I\u2019m here, etc. You know, the stuff we want to actually have done before we die (and yes, I used \u201cstuff\u201d again).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Don\u2019t get me wrong. I\u2019m not trying to whine. On the contrary, I\u2019m simply pointing out that I have a lot of room for improvement. And by \u201ca lot\u201d I mean several train cars (maybe entire trains of train cars) of room.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But that doesn\u2019t change my frustration with knowing what I need to do in all these different aspects of my life and recognizing that I can\u2019t seem to accomplish them all.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve listened to many of Stephen Covey\u2019s books in audio form, and sometimes I felt like he was just sitting on the other end of the phone talking to me. He was born just a few months after my Dad, and interestingly (to me at least) died just four months before my Dad. When I listen to a Stephen Covey book read by him, it reminds me of my Dad. A lot.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And that\u2019s part of my frustration. I want to be the best person I can be. I want to be proud of all I\u2019ve accomplished. I want my Dad smiling down from Heaven, nudging his buddies and saying \u201cthat\u2019s my boy!\u201d with pride in his voice. There are lots of days where I just envision Dad face-palming and saying \u201chmmmm\u201d instead.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So <a onMouseOut=\"al_link_out()\" onMouseOver=\"al_gen_multi(1190457480, {uk : 'A-1451639619',us : 'A-1451639619',de : 'A-1451639619',es : 'A-1451639619',fr : 'A-1451639619',jp : 'A-1451639619',it : 'A-1451639619',cn : 'A-1451639619',in : 'A-1451639619',ca : 'A-1451639619',br : 'A-1451639619',mx : 'A-1451639619'}, 'us', 'default');\"  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1451639619?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=6738&amp;tag=wwwhecticdadc-20&amp;creativeASIN=1451639619&amp;SubscriptionId=\">The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People<\/a>\u00a0is often a reminder that I need to concentrate on the big things as well as the little things.
