Be Proactive, Put First Things First | Sophie | Shift Exchange 2

Sophie is 20, and she has put her finger on something most of us never say out loud: she knows what's good for her, but she can't make herself do it when it's uncomfortable. She is also Rob's granddaughter, and the very first guest to sit down for a Shift Exchange. Rob coaches her through two of Stephen Covey's habits, be proactive and put first things first, using the time management matrix: spend your time on what's important but not urgent, and plan tomorrow tonight. Along the way: a cousin who hates running and runs five miles a day anyway, why brushing your teeth is the perfect habit, three questions to ask yourself (who am I, what do I want, what's my purpose), and a simple start on nutrition: 30 to 40 grams of fiber a day. Then Rob and Kris look back on it in the Shift Review. "If the why is sufficient, the what doesn't matter." Shift Happens Here is lifestyle, life and business coaching with Rob Ferguson. In a Shift Exchange, Rob coaches a guest through a change they want to make, and Rob and Kris sum it up afterwards in the Shift Review.
