Habit #3 - Put First Things First

During the period of potentially wonderful, albeit potentially stressful time, it is important to attend to the things of value in our lives:

• Significant people
• Quality time
• Health
• Sound finances

Along the line of self-care, pay attention to things that keep us resilient:

• Insight
• Independence
• Relationships
• Initiative
• Creativity
• Humor
• Morality
