The Impact of Planner Techniques and 'The 7 Habits'.
Do you know about 'The 7 Habits'?
I love 'The 7 Habits' , and I also use it for the Hobonichi Techo Cousin journaling I write in.
What are the 7 Habits?
'The 7 Habits' are principles of self-improvement and human relationships based on character, proposed in Dr. Stephen R. Covey's book, 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People'. They consist of the following seven:
1. Be Proactive - Take responsibility for your actions and reactions
2. Begin with the End in Mind - Clarify your goals and vision
3. Put First Things First - Prioritize important matters and manage your time
Public Victory (Interdependence)
4. Think Win-Win - Aim for relationships where both sides benefit
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood - Listen deeply to the other person before speaking
6. Synergize - Leverage differences to make 1+1 equal more than 3
Renewal
7. Sharpen the Saw - Continuously polish and improve your mind, body, intellect, and social skills
The structure is to become an independent person through the first three, acquire the ability to cooperate with others through the next three, and continuously renew the whole through the last one. It is a way of thinking that is still widely used in the fields of business and self-management.
Every day, I place several planners and 'Planner Techniques Learned from The 7 Habits / Supervised by Franklin Covey Japan' on the dining table and spend time there before going to bed.
(Sometimes I spend more time engrossed in reading novels.)
First, I start by writing a big plus (+, like this) in the middle of the page in my Hobonichi Cousin, then I write Quadrant II in the top right box, and fill in the 'Quadrant II goals' that come to mind that day.
What is Quadrant II
Activities that are 'not urgent but important'.
Specific examples
• Exercise for health maintenance
• Long-term goal setting and planning
• Building trust relationships
• Self-improvement and learning
• Prevention and risk management
Why it is important
• Many people tend to be chased by 'urgent things' (Quadrants I and III)
• Quadrant II is easily put off, but if left alone, it creates future crises (Quadrant I)
• Consciously investing time in Quadrant II leads to long-term results and a fulfilling life
For example, recently, I've had 'tidying up', 'minimalism', 'TDM', and 'Tokyo'.
'Tidying up' and 'minimalism' feel like they will never disappear from Quadrant II. No matter how much I tidy, it gets messy again with incredible speed. And things just keep increasing no matter how much I reduce them.
By the way, 'TDM' is a term used at work, and here it refers to the simulation of blood concentration of an antibiotic called vancomycin. As a hospital pharmacist, I need to update my information daily. I am working hard at studying steadily.
And, I am planning to go to Itoya in Ginza to look at system planners, so I wrote 'Tokyo'. While I'm at it, maybe I'll visit Disney or the Skytree.
While I was reading 'Planner Techniques Learned from The 7 Habits' again tonight like that, I found a good page, so I took a picture with my smartphone and sent it to my eldest and second son via LINE.
p138 'Someday' will never come unless you write it down
Since summer vacation has started and they are only touching their smartphones every day, I wanted to say let's make good use of summer vacation to them.
And then, here is the shock.
The moment my eldest son, who was right in front of me, received my LINE message, he said with a smile, 'Oh, I know The 7 Habits'.
He actually claimed that he 'learned it in health and physical education class'.
He said he watched Atsuhiko Nakata's YouTube in class.
What on earth!!!
Moreover, it seems it appeared on the final exam.
He got 90% and received a 5 for his grade.
(My eldest son is bad at sports, so getting a 5 in health and physical education must be thanks to 'The 7 Habits'.)
My eldest son could recite 'Habit 1' through 'Habit 7' fluently.
I wanted my eldest son to know about 'The 7 Habits' when he was younger, so I bought him 'The 7 Habits for 13-Year-Olds', bought him a planner called 'Foresight', and as a parent, I taught him 'The 7 Habits' steadily, but my eldest son hardly remembered any of that.
Just now, when I showed him 'The 7 Habits for 13-Year-Olds' again, he said,
'Oh, come to think of it, there was something like this'
'Oh, I feel like Mom said something about this a long time ago'
'Wait, wasn't there another red book? (I also bought him 'The 7 Habits for Teens')'
'The 7 Habits are good, I'll do it'
He seems to have finally understood the fun of 'The 7 Habits' after many years.
I am nothing but surprised as a mother born in the Showa era that they would teach 'The 7 Habits' in high school classes using 'Atsuhiko Nakata's YouTube University'.
But I learned that even if a parent teaches with all their heart, it doesn't get through, but when it takes the form of classes and tests, it can be fixed in the brain.
School education is important, isn't it?
If you'd like, everyone, please take a class on 'The 7 Habits'.
