Yesterday, Stephen R. Covey died at the age of 79. He was best known for his 1989 book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. A lot of people I have met through the years have read (and love) this book, and the advice still holds up, so I thought I’d share the 7 habits of highly effective people:

1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with the End in Mind
3. Put First Things First
4. Think Win-Win
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw
