PS 78 Makeover: Work First, Play Later

Thrive Collective artists painted a series of 15 murals at PS 78 in the Bronx based on the book The 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey. The seven habits are:

1. Be Proactive
2. Begin With the End in Mind
3. Put First Things First
4. Think Win-Win
5. Think First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw

Artists Marissa Molina and Pips collaborated on this mural to visualize Sean Covey’s third habit: Put First Things First. The mural prompts us to remember the following important ideas. As the artists write,

I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.
