关于《要事第一 First Things First》 
简介 ······ 本书中提出了一个截然不同的时间管理方法，那就是以原则为中心的方法，它超越了推崇更快捷、更努力、更机灵的传统方法，不是给你提供另外一个时钟，而是给你一个罗盘——因为比速度更重要的是前进方向。全书分为四个部分：时钟和罗盘、主要的问题是将主要事情放在主要位置、相互依赖关系的协作增效和以原则为中心的生活的力量和平静。从一种意义上说，这种方法是全新的；从另一种意义上说，它古老悠久，深深植根于永恒的经典原则，跟当前时间管理理念和“成功”论著所宣扬的权宜之计和不劳而获的方法截然不同。我们生活在一个喜欢走捷径的现代社会，然而，靠走捷径无法创造生活质量。

关于这本手册： Priority setting is a process we Extension professionals
must continually use to set and reset our day-to-day and program
priorities. Yet, many times we find ourselves working on
low-priority goals or on activities unrelated to high-priority
concerns. Sometimes we're aware of our busyness with nonpriority
items; but often we're pressured by others to "set our
priorities."
At this point, we exclaim, "I know ... but how can I set my
priorities when everyone says everything is high priority!" These
moments of frustration seem to be occurring more often.
Increasing pressures by many people, and the growing
complexity of problems and society make the Extension
professional's priority setting more difficult. This booklet is intended for Extension people who wish to
deal with these problems and who wish to independently study
and think about how a systematic process of setting priorities
relates to their Extension jobs.
The booklet has three sections that provide answers to
these questions:
I. What is priority setting?
II. Why must we set priorities?
III. How do we set priorities?
This booklet stresses priority setting as a personal
commitment made by professional Extension workers. Though
Extension workers cooperate with clientele in developing
programs and related activities, many Extension people don't
implement programs unless they see them as their own personal
priorities. Though many things influence and pressure Extension
people, only an individual can decide whether a goal or activity
is high priority and do something about it.
This booklet discusses priority setting in the context of
program development. This doesn't mean priority setting and
program development are synonymous. They aren't. But the
priority-setting process may register the most impact in a program
development situation and the ideas are transferable to many
short-range situations, such as "what do I do this week?"
Furthermore, once a person has set program priorities, those
priorities, plus the process s/he has mastered, influence the more
immediate and day-to-day priorities.
In Section 3, "How Do We Set Priorities?" a case example (a
county home economist) is presented with each step in the 6-step
process. Further case examples are outlined step by step
following Section 3. If it will help you understand the steps, turn to
the case study most like your own situation as you read.
You may wish to review some sections lightly, others in
more depth. Regardless of how much time you spend
thinking about the ideas, you'll get the most from these pages
by discussing them with others in similar positions, and most
importantly by applying them to your specific Extension job
situation. 下载： [upload=rar]down758.asp?ID=89533[/upload]
