NOT THE WHOLE BOOK,

What disappointed you about First Things First?

This recording is only a little over an hour long. The book is nearly 300 pages. Do the math. Most of it's missing.

What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Included the entire book as this is not the abridged version

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He didn't read the whole thing.

Any additional comments?

Skip it. Buy the book.

Warning: Only one hour long.

Any additional comments?

This is an abridged version of the book. I bought it under the assumption that it would be a full audio book and was disappointed to find it was only 1 hour long.

This book is excellent

This is an excellent book. It helps one to develop a schedule based on correct principles instead of on a clock system. That way your time is spent doing what is important rather than have your life dominated by the urgent. (urgent doesn't necessarily mean important), listen to the book.
I have ADHD and this recording and the print book have been very valuable to me. I would recommend using it along with the print version of the book along with the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

Nothing New over the other books

I can't say that there is anything new here. This book does not seem to answer the question of how to put First things First as the title suggests. In my humble opinion this is just a filler book. One written to keep the public interested in Franklin Covey until they could come up with something else. if your are trying to develop your Mission statement and roles and goal and to follow thru on them a better book to get is What Matters Most.

Very difficult to listen to

I found this audio title very difficult to listen to. While Steven Covey is a good narrator, the same can definitely not be said of the co-authors A Roger Merril and Rebecca R Merril. Also, I expected more concrete advice on how to put first things first. This title harps on and on about why you need to put first things first. We get that! Now we need to know how! Not a worthwhile listen

Book, that is only part from the 7 habits book

Yeah it is true. It's basically the same thing you will find in main book. But none the less - I liked this book, and I recommend it to everyone. The book itself is short, but filled with very useful information. I had listened to original 7 habits book, and then to 7 habits of highly effective families, and now this (and will continue on with all his books). And to be honest - only in this book, where it was mentioned that example about bowl - fill it with stones, sand, water... the main idea of it - I only grasped now, in this book, but I had heard that story many many times.. It is just proof to me that re-listening over and over again same things - you grasp more and more. Totally worth it!

Audio Book vs Paperback

The audio book offers very little value and is about 1/9 of the material covered in the hard copy. I ordered the audio book for school and ended up having to purchase both. Skip this one.

100% Fluff

Very touchy-feely. Very little substance, not systematic, mostly a rewrite of his Effective People books. I was looking for something else.

SUMMARY - NOT the whole book

For what it is, which is a summary of points from First Things First, it is a fine audio production.
However, if you're looking for the whole book, it is currently unavailable on Audible (as of Feb 2021), so don't waste a credit on this summary. Go download 'The 7 Habits' instead! Cheers.
