Stephen R. Covey outlines 7 habits for highly effective people: 1) Be proactive by taking responsibility for your own work and decisions, 2) Begin with the end in mind by setting specific goals, 3) Put the first things first by prioritizing tasks in an organized manner, 4) Think win-win by seeing problems from others' perspectives, 5) Seek first to understand then to be understood by focusing on understanding others, 6) Synergize by collaborating and involving people to achieve more than the sum of individual efforts, 7) Sharpen the saw by continuously improving yourself through physical, spiritual, mental, and social development. The habits are divided into private victory, public victory, and self-renewal
