Seven Habits and their habituation

Exertion or extending efforts to get work done despite resistance appears to be the habit of all effective people share, efforts. 

Report

I have exerted mysel sometimes, and not other times. They appear to have been equal, if not the idle time may have been more.

Steven Covey calls this proactivity. 

This is one of the habits that I will report about daily until we run out of remaining days. 

Another one is having an end in mind and a plan to reach the end and then implementing the plan on the basis of first thing first. 

Report 

Exertion time was result of having an end in mind,  and commitment to reach that end, the idle time was its opposite.

The fourth one is focusing on mutualy desired ends and nothing else. This is what Covey calls win-win and non.

Reports 

There were cases of this in various fields, but I generally remained idle.

The fifth one is understand people first and then make them understand you. If you do, you may note something new coming out from this. Hang on to that. 

I practiced this. Being honest is difficult, but it is the best policy, as they say. 

That is what Covey calls Synergy, others call it synthesis resulting from thesis and antithesis. 

Being honest about understanding others and making them understand you, leads. In some cases, to a breakthrough or something new.

Report. Yes, there was something new, as a result of being honest.

The seventh habit is to renew, rest, learn, meditate or pray or both, exercise, eat and drink well and so o an so forth. 

Report 

In the renewal department, I have done an excellent job. 

Commitment is essential aspect of progress. I have not committed yet to a number of habits to develop. I shall think of it today and make up my mind tomorrow. 

Since I am editing books now it may be something related to an excellent editing to produce fine books.
