Do you agree with these (7) and are there more you can add for our future and current leaders in the military or transitioning into the civilian world?

I love this video as it assumes that the "big rock" tasks are static and do not grow in scope and that I can not delegate some of my tasks. However it does explain why I feel like I'm not getting much done - It looks like I spent all my time on the "sand" tasks. I still like Dr. Covey -

I like this post, sir. It's a topic near and dear to my heart, and it has been for many years. It seems to me that Kathryn McKinnon is a little too focused on the day. Stephen Covey (in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People") recommends planning a week at a time, and then periodically looking even further out to set goals, etc. I like Covey's quadrant approach to time management. We have to beat back the tyranny of the urgent!

CW5 (Join to see) Thanks for sharing. I like getting out ideas and concpets for individuals to put into their toolbox for the future. They don't have to agree or use them all, but if they take away one or two things for the future then we have accomplished the mission!
