Mike Sanders in his blog Keep Trying, translates Covey’s book on the 7 habits of highly effective people to blogging. While always somewhat sceptic of lists like “the 7 best ways to” and the “top 10 critical success factors of” and the “just do this and you’ll be happy and famous too” sort of message they convey, I think Mike says a lot of good stuff in comparing Covey’s seven habits with what he has experienced and sees in the blogosphere. A lot of what he says obviously goes a long way to improving dialogues and knowledge sharing as well.
Here’s the line up:

  • Habit 1, Be Pro-active
  • Habit 2, Keep the end in mind
  • Habit 3, First things first
  • The first three habits: Going beyond fun, From personal to public
  • Habit 4, Think win/win
  • Habit 5, Seek to understand first, then to be understood
  • Habit 6, Synergize
  • Habit 7, Sharpen the Saw
  • Some more reflection: 7 habits: a field trip and A look at habits
