What matters most

Had about 15 minutes before a scheduled meeting with a client. Thought I would check out on FranklinCovey's site. Found nothing new except for the Fall catalogue. Sometimes I just like to browse catalogues it gives me some kind of thrill and does have some snob value. The author of 7 habits of highly effectieve people, Stephen Covey in addition to his books has planners, software and other tools that help you achieve optimum productivity. If you have read the book and heard of phrases like "Sharpen the saw" and "What matters most" you'll readily relate to the planners whose pages are structured on the principles outlined in the book. These are available on the web store. But what I like most are the various assessment tests. Take a look.

• A stress assessment test
• An Urgency Analysis
• An article on how to manage information overload
• Time management skills
• Productivity Tips
  

If you are into some form of management (financial, human resources, project...) then you should take these tests. The score is usually accompanied by suggesstions giving you valuable insight into the price you have paid for your professional accomplishments.

Though Stephen Covey's planners are not available in this part of the world, his books are. If you plan to savour life, Suggest you pick up one today.
