Which habit is about prioritizing and doing first things first?

• A. Habit 2
• B. Self-Esteem
• C. Habit 3
• D. Neuroticism

Answer: (C)

Prioritizing and doing first things first is Put First Things First. This habit centers on organizing your time and actions around your highest priorities, planning ahead, and protecting time for the most important tasks so they get done before getting pulled into less important activities. It emphasizes choosing meaningful work that advances your long-term goals, even if it’s not the easiest or most urgent option right now, to reduce stress and increase effectiveness.

Self-Esteem isn’t about task order or time management, and Neuroticism is a personality trait about emotional stability, not how you schedule or execute tasks. Begin with the End in Mind is about starting with a clear vision of your goals, which informs priorities, but it isn’t the act of prioritizing and doing first things first in the day.
