The Clock and the Compass



Stephen Covey's book First Things First decribes a common conflict that frustrates many people in our society. One half of the conflict is "The Clock" which drives us to accomplish more tasks with higher quality and less time. The other half of the conflict is "The Compass" which allows our personal values and life mission to guide us, to think long term. Ideally we reconcile this conflict and align our efforts to better serve both our short term and long term goals.

How have you resolved this conflict in your life?
