is about Will and Will Not power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage
their time so that they focus and complete the most important things in their
lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and
being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters
most. Putting first things first deals with things that are:
