I have been enjoying the 'Letters of Catherine Booth' (£0.01p). She understood what it means to put 'First things first' long before Stephen Covey made millions writing a book about it. I wonder if she gave him the title?
"Be wise. Take proper care. Get sleep and food regularly; for in order to get the most done, you must go to work in the best way, even with regard to the body.
Beware of spending too large a proportion of your time and strength on matters of secondary importance. Learn to distinguish what is vital from what is merely incidental; and, above all, resolve by God's help at all cost to keep first things first"
Letters, P.14
