Habit 1: Be Proactive
Take responsibility for your reaction to your experiences, take the initiative to reply positively, and improve things. Recognize your Circle of pressure and Circle of Concern. Focus your responses and initiates in the middle of your influence and constantly work to expand it. Don't sit and wait during a reactive mode, expecting problems to happen (Circle of Concern) before taking action
Habit 2: Begin With The End In Mind
Envision what you would like within the future so you'll work and plan towards it. Understand how people make decisions in their life. To be effective you would like to act supported principles and constantly review your mission statements. Are you - immediately - who you would like to be? What do I even have to mention about myself? How does one want to be remembered? If habit 1 advises changing your life to act and be proactive, habit 2 advises that you simply are the programmer! Grow and stay humble.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Talks about what's important and what's urgent. Priority should tend within the following order
Quadrant I. Urgent & important (Do) – important cut off point and crises
Quadrant II. Not urgent but important (Plan) – long-term development
Quadrant III. Urgent but neither important (Delegate) – distractions with the limit time
Quadrant IV. Not urgent and nor important (Eliminate) – frivolous distractions
The order is important; after completing items in quadrant I, we should always spend the bulk of our time on II, but many of us spend an excessive amount of time in III and IV. The calls to delegate and eliminate are effective Monitor of their relative priority.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Seek agreements and relationships that are interdependent. In cases where a "win/win" deal can't be achieved, accept the very fact that agreeing to form "no deal" could also be the simplest alternative. In developing an organizational culture, make certain to reward win/win behavior among employees, and avoid inadvertently rewarding win/lose behavior.

Habit 5: Seek First To Understand Then Be Understood
When both parties try to be understood, neither party is basically listening. Covey called this interaction, "the dialogue of the deaf." But to know is a crucial key to interpersonal relationships and may magically transform the course of discussions. By making the investment of your time and energy required to know the opposite party, we modify the dynamics of the interchange.
Habit 6: Synergize
Through trustful communication, find ways to leverage individual differences to make an entire that's greater than the sum of the parts. Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve conflicts and find a far better solution than would are obtained through either person's own solution.
Habit 7: Sharpen The Saw
First of all, decide what's truly important and distinguish it from that which is urgent but not important. Half the time people spend is on things that are urgent but not important, sort of a ringing phone, something that's pressing, something that's proximate or popular, but it's going to not be important in the least . you want to learn to mention no to the unimportant so you'll say yes to the important.
