For the month of October, we will be looking at and teaching on Habit 3: Put First Things First. Putting first things first means spending time on what’s most important.
“Big Rocks” is a key concept of Habit 3. “Big rocks” are our most important relationships, tasks, and activities. Putting “big rocks” first prohibits our “little rocks” from taking up too much time. In this month’s classroom lessons, students will learn how identifying “big rocks” helps us stay focused on them and how prioritizing around our “big rocks” saves time and energy.
