Habits are a big part of your life, about 40 % of your actions are habits. What if you would become aware of your habits and make conscious decisions instead of doing things automatically without thinking if it is an effective behaviour or not. A habit can be something small like taking a coffee every morning when you wake up, but it can also be more complicated as not taking action to change something that you don’t feel comfortable with. These habits are not just there, they grow step by step until they become second nature. This can be very helpful because when something becomes a second nature, the action doesn’t take a lot of energy anymore. Though it is very annoying when the habit is not effective for your well being.
Do you want to have influence at what happens in your own life and in your surroundings? By living the 7 habits of highly effective people, a method developed by Steven Covey, you will become better in achieving the things that you appreciate most in life and you will become more effective in living the personal and career life that you want. This playlist is inspired by Steven Covey’s work. It will support you in creating habits that are useful for you personally and especially for your work with young people.
Watch and be inspired by Youtube artist NickyTutorials when she decides to take back influence at her life during blackmail by sharing to the world that she is transgender. She became aware about her habits, was proactive within the area where she could influence to feel free again.

“Put First Things First” is about turning your vision and values into action by focusing on what truly matters. It means organizing your time and energy around priorities rather than reacting to urgent but less important demands. While Habit 2 (Begin with the End in Mind) is about defining what’s important, Habit 3 is about living it — through discipline, balance, and conscious choice.
In youth work, this habit encourages both youth workers and young people to make intentional decisions about how they use their time, attention, and effort. It invites reflection on what tasks, relationships, and goals align with core values — and which distractions or pressures might pull us away from them.
Putting first things first also means learning to say “no” to things that do not support our purpose, so we can say “yes” to what really counts. It helps youth workers manage responsibilities effectively, set boundaries, and model healthy balance and focus for young people.
When young people learn to prioritize what is meaningful over what is merely urgent, they gain skills in self-management, planning, and resilience — essential for personal growth and leadership.
Decide which items in life or the tasks that you have to do are not-important, important, urgent or not-urgent. The most effective way of living is to live mostly in the field not ‘urgent - important’.
