Abstract
“The seven habits of highly effective people” (S.
Covey, 1989) has become a classic precisely because Covey's principles
are applicable to both personal and professional responsibilities-from
building a stronger relationship with one's family to becoming a more
effective leader within one's business organization. I have tried to
suggest some ways that Covey's paradigm might help us rethink the way
that we approach the writing process. This article is my interpretation
of how we can apply Covey's seven habits to writing. The habits are: (1)
be proactive; (2) begin with the end in mind; (3) put first things
first; (4) think “win/win”; (5) seek first to understand,
then to be understood; (6) synergize; and (7) sharpen the saw (i.e.
self-renewal)
