Choice 1: Act on the Important (Time Management)

Purpose: Focus on what matters most, not just what’s urgent.

Portfolio Component:
     • Use Covey’s Quadrant 2 (Important, Not Urgent) to prioritize tasks that align with
         your goals, not just firefighting.
     • List your roles (e.g., professional, parent, learner) and one high-impact goal per
         role.
               • Example: Role = Learner, Goal = “Master Python by July 31, 2025.”
     • Write down every task or idea floating in your head, then sort into:
               • Q1 (Urgent + Important): Do now.
               • Q2 (Important + Not Urgent): Plan.
               • Q3/Q4 (Low value): Delegate or drop.
     • Create a time matrix.

Choice 2: Go for Extraordinary (Vision)

Purpose: Define what “extraordinary” means to you and aim high.

Portfolio Component:
     • Vision Statement: Craft a bold, personal definition of success.
               • Example: “I create impactful projects that inspire others while living a
              balanced, healthy life.”
     • Breakthrough Goals: Set 3-5 ambitious, measurable goals tied to your vision.
               • Example: “Launch a podcast with 10 episodes by December 2025.”

Choice 3: Schedule the Big Rocks (Goal Setting and Task Prioritization)

Purpose: Put your priorities first, not last.

Portfolio Component:
     • Big Rocks: Identify 3-5 key weekly priorities (your “rocks”) that advance your Q2
         goals.
               • Example: “Write 500 words for podcast script, workout 3x, family dinner.”
     • Create a Weekly Calendar: Every Sunday, block time for these rocks on your
         calendar before anything else. Hand in a weekly calendar for the next 8 weeks.
               • Sample: Mon 7-8 PM = Script, Wed 6-6:30 PM = Workout.

Choice 4: Rule Your Technology (Technology Management)

Purpose: Make tech your servant, not your master.

Portfolio Component:
     • Tech Audit: List tools/apps you use (e.g., email, X, Slack) and assess:
               • Does it serve my goals?
               • How much time does it steal?
     • Boundaries: Set rules like:
               • Check email/X twice daily (e.g., 10 AM, 4 PM).
               • Notifications off during Big Rock time.

Choice 5: Fuel Your Fire (Energy Management)

Purpose: Sustain the energy to perform at your best.

Portfolio Component:
     • Energy Drivers: Track 5 energy sources—Move (exercise), Eat (nutrition), Sleep,
         Relax, Connect (relationships).
               • Example Plan: 30-min walk, 8 hours sleep, call a friend weekly.
     • Daily Recharge: Build one 5–10-minute energy habit (e.g., stretching, deep
         breathing). Log energy levels daily for a week.
