7 Habits of Effective Teens

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey is your typical self-help book, just directed at teens, and is a little more entertaining. In the book, Sean Covey talks about-get ready for the shocker- seven habits that will help teens to succeed. Crazy right?

The habit that I thought about that I really needed to work on was Habit 2- Keep the end in Mind. I am not good with time or school or any combination of the two. Usually, I'm busy with something other than the project I should be working on, at least until a few nights before the project or paper is due. Then, I scramble and stress to get everything done. Especially during basketball season, time is a precious commodity. If I learned to manage time better then maybe I wouldn't have to work so hard all the time. I probably won't be able to learn that cause I won't have the time, but I can manage.

From the whole book, my favorite habit was the seventh habit, the sharpen the saw. It basically says to try your hardest in school and all of the extra stuff you do, but to also just put on the breaks and relax sometimes. Everyone likes to relax, so that's the best habit. Just not to much. I'm easily distracted, and may goof to much, but I enjoy any breaks we get from school. I'm a nerd, but even a nerd needs a break every once in a while.

This book was a decent book, but I don't really like self-help books that much. I don't like anyone telling me that I'm doing anything wrong, but I just take it and let it go. If you won't to become more effective as a teen, then I guess this is the book for you. Have fun with it.
