Introduction

In The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, author Stephen R. Covey presents a holistic, integrated, principle-centered approach to solving personal and professional problems. 

Summary

Be Proactive

Be proactive in your actions. Don't wait for things to break to fix the issues.

Begin with the end in Mind

Start the action after thinking about what will be the result or what you want to get out of the action

Put first things first

You should set your priorities and then do the work according to your set priorities. You should not waste your energy and time on important stuff and miss the important things. Make Todo lists daily.

Think Win-Win

Abundance mentality: 

Everything is abundant in this world. If you want to win, then the other person doesn't need to lose.

Seek first to understand and then to be understood

Try to understand others before trying to make them understand you. Don't listen just to answer. You should have empathy for others.

Synergize

Work with others to get more done. Energy is multiplied when like-minded people work together.

Sharpen You Saw

It takes less time to cut a tree when you have spent time before sharpening your saw. Be ready, learn new skills, and keep upgrading yourself so that when an opportunity presents itself you are ready to pounce. You should try to learn the skills of the future. Update your knowledge, skills, and expertise.
