7 highly effective teens
One of the highly effective habits that I follow is Habit 1 Be Proactive. Some examples that I do to show I'm proactive are, I'm a responsible person, I care about my work, I always keep it neat and organized and I hand in my work on time without excuses. I do something without being asked such as, if a teacher is talking to another teacher and everyone is being loud and talking, I do something quietly until the teacher comes back. I'm constantly in a good mood, I have a good attitude towards everyone and I have good manners for instances, if someone is talking I respectfully listen without interrupting. The last thing I follow in habit 1 is that I don't blame others, if I did something wrong, I will admit that I did it, it was an accident and apologize for my mistake.

The one thing that I need to improve on in this section is that I'm the slacker. I'm not a lazy person, I do my homework all the time. But, one problem that I do a lot is that I go the malls almost every weekend, which is not good because I need to start saving money and minimize the shopping. Other than going to the malls a lot, I follow everything on the list. I always put important things first like school is number 1, if I don't finish my work before going out, I will be thinking about it and I will not be able to have fun. So I like to finish my work, then have
Trust me when I say that after you master the following three habits that everyone can benefit from, you will develop new habits that resonate with you and benefit your unique life and your goals. First, though, you have to develop an appreciation for yourself and life in general, the ability to stay present and focused on what matters to you, and the awareness of what works and what doesn't work in your life.
Habit one is Be Proactive. Being proactive is when you take the highway to be the better person instead of overreacting. You can do this by talking a problem out with someone instead of storming off and making them feel worse about what they’ve done. I occasionally use habit 1. I generally use it when I have more patience or the situation isn’t life changing. Habit one also tells you to not always go in the fast lane that sometimes you just need to stop and take a break. Habit one is the root habit. This habit plays into multiple habits to better yourself.
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.
Keystone habit is a change of a behavior that can form other positive habits. It creates a chain reaction on the way we live our life. Based on “Habits as Change Levers” by Daniel Denison and Levi Nieminen, the authors give an example on how changing keystone habit can affect other habit and be advantageous.
The first habit is, Be Proactive. That mean you should take responsibility for your actions and words. You should not go behind someone and talk about them. You should not pull pranks or call people name. You should stand up for people and get teachers involved when you see someone getting bullied. You should go out and try to make the world a better place. An example of being proactive is,” Forgive her and give her a second chance.” page 50 .I can apply this habit to my life by planting a tree once a year and picking up any trash that I see one the ground. I can also apply this to my life by being more forgiving.
I finished reading the Power of habit Book, and a lot of things I used to do it without even think about now it called habit? This book it’s a magnificent resource for people in general people. It doesn’t matter what level you are in business arena or you are retired. I liked how the author Mr. Duhigg structured, generate and link a phenomenal number of research studies, practical involvements, and corporate research into an understandable summary of how habits are designed and how we can change them.
Habit 2:Begin with the End in Mind was probably the habit that hit home most for me. Like most teens I was struggling with my priorities. I have to
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"(
The habit, my best self would have is not relying on energy drinks and having good time management skills. It's difficult for me to give up on drinking energy drinks because I started since elementary school and it worsened once I got to middle school. I cut back to one a day and that's still a lot of caffeine. I stopped briefly this past summer because I didn't have a reason to drink it, but now that college has started, I've been relying on it more than ever. To acquire this habit of not relying on energy drinks, I should gradually decrease my intake. As for having good time management skills, I don't have good time management skills because I tend to forget things I need to do, or I procrastinate. I used a planner to help plan my day, but
As a result of getting distracted teens tend to lose judgment of what’s really important. On habit two “begin with the end in mind,” Covey teaches teens ways to find fulfillment in their accomplishments, and how to control their paths if they focus on what really matters. Habit two helps teens develop a clear picture of where they want to go with their life, and deciding what their values are. In the book the author wrote “So often in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in group,” we lose sight of things that are more important,”(Sean Covey, 82). Readers can clearly identify from this quote that sometimes in our journey to be well liked, we lose sense of what's really important. Teenagers losing track on what’s important will
Knowing is an interesting topic to dicuss because the brain is always devolping and storing knowledge, but the information it recieves is up to the owner to input. From the very first day of a person’s life their brain is creating synaptic connections, firing and delivering messages. Knowing and remembering things such as your name and address are things that your brain transfers to long term memory from repetitive use. In a book I had read called “The Power of Habit” a doctor had been observing and testing people with Alzeheimers and degenerative neurological diseases. In one case the doctor had visited a man with Alzeheimers in his home where he had lived with decades, when the doctor asked the man to draw a rudimentary map of his house
The Seven Habits Analysis consists of nine categories, two of those categories make up what is considered the foundation habits from which the other seven habits are built upon. Twelve was my lowest scoring in the category of life balance, to which I expected. I have been in the business of Medical Staff functions for the last ten years, due to the demands of the job, I have struggled for the last nine years in finding an appropriate work/life balance. My position is deadline heavy. There is no room for extensions on most tasks so it is important that my time management skills be impeccable. I have had to rely heavily on the project management team to ensure that I and my team meet the monthly deadlines we are faced with; in addition to managing
The first section of the evaluation includes information about the Emotional Bank Account and Life Balance, which are the two foundations of the seven habits evaluation. These two categories on their own can show someone what type of person they are versus how they perceive themselves. The task is to evaluate oneself in several areas to include speaking negatively about people when they are not present, keeping promises and commitments, showing kindness, maintaining a work life balance, staying focused without getting burnt out, and keeping others in mind while working on a task they have suggested. The maximum achievable score is 36. While ranking myself, I scored seventeen (17) in category one, and fourteen (14) in category 2 giving me
Onto the third one, Habit 3, which is Put First Things First. This habit, to me, is the most important in the private victory. This is because I tend to struggle with this habit when I have thousands of distractions around me.

First off, we are creatures. We are animals. We're very sophisticated and good-looking and all that, but let's never forget that we're made of flesh and blood. In particular, our brains are incredibly complex evolved machines. Our brains govern basic processes such as breathing and food intake, and also enable us to appreciate the finer points of John Cleese's performances in Fawlty Towers.
