Weekly Round Up #9 – Looking back at the 7 Habits

I thought I’d take a step away from our regular weekly round up series to take a final look at the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (affiliate link) posts I’ve been running throughout February.

I first looked at the 7 Habits back in 2008, at this point I was just really starting my self-improvement journey and thought that the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People would be a good place to start.

It was interesting to take a look back at the 7 Habits, especially as they’re still some of the most popular articles on this blog.

I think maybe this is because I haven’t develed as deep into myself as Covey wants us to go (Hey, I’m English so I’m allowed to be repressed, okay?!) so I think that this is something I really need to work on and re-reading The 7 Habits has helped me to realise this.

What Millennials Seek When Buying A Home
Surprisingly, Millennials have a bigger impact on the housing market that you can even imagine. After Baby Boomers, they are considered as the most varied and the largest generation. Despite the financial struggles they are facing, like student loans and deteriorating wages, they are working hard to save up for...

Overall I still think the book is relevant even though it’s over 20 years old. Unlike some personal management books, the 7 Habits still stands the test of time and can help parents, spouses, children, employees and managers (amongst others) with their relationships with others and themselves.
