7 habits training

my company sent me for this training course called "the 7 habits of highly effective people", which is derived from a book of the same name. i feel that it's a pretty effective course...seriously. it teaches you how to oranise your life. i especially like the part where they teach you how to prioritize things into 4 categories:

1. urgent / important
2. not urgent / important
3. urgent / not important
4. not urgent / not important

they teach us to strive for "quadrant" 2...though inevitably, 1 and 3 will still take up some time...quadrant 4 is to be avoided at all costs...true true...

actually the whole course is pretty common sensensical...but sometimes, i guess you need someone to tell it to you...someone to make it even more obviously apparent...someone who costs $1,600.00 per person per two days. wow. now that's being effective.
