7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

If you really do not know how to manage your every day life, read 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey. This book has tips, advice, and habits to live by to manage your life effectively

Out of all the habits discussed in the Covey's book, I liked habit 4. habit 4 was think win-win. This section of the book discussed how to think of situations in your life as win-win situations as opposed to win-lose and lose-win situations. This habit was the easiest to connect with, for me, beauase habit 4 seemed to be the easiest to accomplish.

The habit I have mastered is habit 3. This section describes how to put first things first to make you more succesful. I believe I have mastered the habit because I always prioritize things and put the most important things first. I find that this strategy helps me finish homework and have as much free time as possible.

Habit 5 or seek first to understand, then to be understood is the habit I need the most work on. I have a real problem understanding other people's points of view. I always want everybody to understand my point of view, while I pay little attention to the other person's point of view. I hope after reading this book that I can drastically improve on this habit.

As I stated before, I would recommend this book to anyone who has a serious problem managing their life.

Wasting Time

Most people, at some point in their life, spend a lot of time on the Internet, wasting time. These are some of the websites, that I have found that are very good time wasters.

1. Facebook-www.facebook.com- This website has lots of different application that involve inviting friends to join a fake gang, group, or team to do lots of different stuff.

2. MLIA-mylifeisaverage.com- Visit this website if you like to read other people's stories that make their life "average."

3. The Best Article Every Day-bspcn.com- The Best Article Every Day is a collection of posts ranging from lists to funny pictures.

4. Yahoo-yahoo.com- Yahoo has news stories, games, clubs, chat rooms, groups, and many other things that can occupy lots of time.

These websites are all good time wasters but I will let you decide which ones are the best.
