    Executive summary:
    0. The usual stuff about why all other self-help books are crap but this one isn't.
    1. Be proactive
    blablabla
    2. Begin with the end in mind
    goal-oriented blablabla
    3. Put things first
    prioritize blabla
    4. Think win-win
    the others are your partners pretty easy, eh?
    skip two virtues, something about communicating in emphatic ways, etc. not really important, fuck it
    7. Sharpen the saw
    take a break and never stop learning, etc. blabla
