The The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey is one of the best-selling self-help books.
One of the key concepts in this book is to ensure you balance your production (the outcome you want) with your production capacity. While this varies by your context, it is an important reminder to keep up your health, relationships, and general systems in order to be sustainable for the long-term.
One of the challenges Stephen Covey puts to the reader is to share what you’ve learned as you read it, preferably within 48 hours. This is a fantastic tactic to better internalize the concepts, as only through explaining it to others can we ensure we really understand it ourselves.
