The purpose of Sean Covey’s “ 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens “gives teens a pathway through life. You can learn many ways on how to treat people right, or how to improve relationships. I have learned the correct way to rebuild relationships, and to also rebuild personal bank accounts. Teenagers have learned to start being more proactive rather than deactivate, and that listening first rather than being heard first is always for the better. Sean Covey also teaches teenagers to always have the end in mind, and to always think both of you can win. 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens will teach you how to put important things first, and to have the non important things next. The book will also teach you to synergize with others, which is basically

Putting first things first is always being able to divide important and unimportant. There are 4 different quadrants that a person can fall under, these quadrants are procrastinator, prioritizer, yes-man, and slacker. A procrastinator is someone who will cram a test in the night before, and they are late to class. They thrive on the last minute of doing things, but they usually put stress upon themselves. Procrastinators are usually your friend that say,” I did not even study for that test.” Another thing a friend would say is ,” I only studied last night and still got a good grade.” Those are the procrastinator. Quadrant 2 are the prioritized. They will always turn in everything on time, and have a planned goal the whole week. Prioritizes will usually have time to relax, build relationships, and stress free. These are the friends you will see with a calendar, goals, and planning ahead. They have absolute control over their life and live life pretty balanced. Quadrant 3 the yes-man, are people that put things urgent first instead of important. They try to please everyone by doing what they want instead of what you want. Having a hard time saying no is usually what they are about, and they also cave into peer pressure.

This habit is all about the 5 poor listening skills we use on a day to day basic . These are spacing out, pretend listening, selective listening, word listening, and self-centered listening. Spacing out is when someone is telling you something, but you just completely zone out.

You just act like you are listening by making little gestures with your head, and saying short words like yes. Selective listening is to only pay attention to the things that interest us. Your friend could be talking about a subject that you really are not interested in, but then they soon talk about sports. You get really intrigued and begin to pay attention. Word listening is when you actually pay attention, but only to their word selection. Most people can say simple things that have a ton of emotion behind them. Self-centered listening is when we only see things from our point of view. When your friend is very hurt, and he tells you about it. You only say,” Yes, I know your pain. I definitely know you are suffering.” When you actually do not know their feeling, we are just basing our experience with their own. They probably are just way more hurt than you were, and you believe they are not that bad. There are
