Covey explains in this article that the Third Habit is what you get when you put the First and Second Habit together. The First Habit is about being Proactive, and understanding that you are in control of your life; The Second Habit is about Vision and seeing what is important about your goals and ambitions, and The Third Habit is about organizing those visions into reality.
When looking at this Habit you must ask yourself, "What are the 'First Things'?"
For myself, The First Things are providing for my family, which means making sure our bills are paid, we have food on our table, our cars are in shape to get us from point A to point B safely, and that we are able to live in a safe and warm home; providing for my family also means, making sure that my husband and I keep God as the main focus in our relationship, making sure that no matter what goes on during the day that my husband knows how much I love and respect him, making sure that once our baby girl arrives that she has a safe place to sleep, plenty of food to fill her tummy, and all of the love that two people can provide.
The First Things may be different from one person to another, but in order to reach your goals and aspirations it is very important to understand that you can not to lose sight of what your 'First Things' are.
