Tasks are helpful for keeping track of your “to do” list. There are
three ways to add new Tasks:
• Double click an empty line on the tasks page or Click “New”
from the tasks page.
• A new window titled “Untitled – task” will open. You can add
your task here.
• You can add reminder to tasks by checking the “Reminder”
box.
• This will help you manage your time well and complete your
tasks in time.

2. BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND: Imagine your funeral and listen to what
you would like the eulogist to say about you. This should reveal exactly
what matters most to you in your life. Use this frame of reference to
make all your day-to-day decisions so that you are working toward your
most meaningful life goals.

3. PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST. To manage our lives effectively, we must keep
our mission in mind, understand what’s important as well as urgent, and
maintain a balance between what we produce each day and our ability to
produce in the future. Think of the former as putting out fires and the latter
as personal development.
From “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Restoring the Character Ethic” by Stephen R. Covey, Simon and Schuster, 1989
6. SYNERGIZE. Just what it sound like. The whole is greater than the sum of
its parts. In practice, this means you must use “creative cooperation” in
social interactions. Value differences because it is often the clash between
them that leads to creative solutions.
From “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Restoring the Character Ethic” by Stephen R. Covey, Simon
and Schuster, 1989
