I love it. The principles are very pragmatic...first things first, begin with the end in mind, keep your tools (brain) sharpened. The kids I have been around seem to use these phrases spontaneously in their daily life to redirect if needed. It's been helpful with Kiddo who tends to "What if the Earth explodes!" himself to death if left to his own devices...so asking "What's the goal here, what is the end you have in mind?" or reminding him "First things first" brings him back to reality and on task.
