Poplar Street, Petersburg Deadline: 5 p.m. on Monday BERRY WHITE ICE POPS MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES By Monica Sinclair Will you be having a cookout this year for July 4? Since all of the re- strictions for social gatherings will be lifted, I'm guessing a lot of you will. If so, you may be wanting to do some fun, patriotic dishes. I can help you out with one this week. More than likely, it will be hot on Independence Day, so it will be nice to have a refreshing, cold treat when you are done eat- ing your burgers and hot dogs. This treat is so easy and requires very few ingredients. You might want to make extras as I have a feeling your guests will be begging for more. Enjoy and Happy Fourth of July! INGREDIENTS • 1-3/4 cups whole milk, divided • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1-1/2 cups fresh raspberries • 1 cup fresh blueberries • 10 freezer pop molds or 10 paper cups (3 ounces each) and wooden pop sticks DIRECTIONS 1. In a microwave, warm 1/4 cup milk; stir in honey until blended. Stir in remaining 1-1/2 cups milk and vanilla. 2. Divide berries among molds; cover with milk mix- ture. Top molds with holders. If using cups, top with foil and insert sticks through foil. Freeze until firm. Source: tasteof home.com By Diane Braun Youth First, Inc. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, which has sold over 30 million copies in over 40 languages, is one of the most sig- nificant business books of all time. Dr. Stephen Covey's lifelong mission was to "unleash the human potential." The 7 Habits are the accumulated wisdom he blended into a comprehensive frame- work that allows one to be effective in their work and personal life. The 7 Habits have the ability to intro- duce skills like goal setting, organization, time management, team work, conflict management, collaboration and commu- nication. Those already familiar with the habits can also strengthen these skills. There are steps to create habits that help you personally, and there are other steps that help you deal with and under- stand others. Ultimately the hope is that the participant will experience renewal – knowing that to be your best you need to feel your best mentally, physically, emo- tionally and spiritually. The 7 Habits were developed to help people deal with issues that can hamper their productivity, creativity and person- al health. But can they also apply to deal- ing with the coronavirus? Let's examine the third habit: Put First Things First builds on hab- it two's goal setting by teaching us to keep going, watch for obstacles and dis- tractions and ignore them or find a way around them. We also find out how iden- tifying priorities will help us reach our goals. Most people fall into one of four quad- rants when it comes to getting things do- ne: The "Procrastinator" is addicted to ur- gency. They thrive under pressure and like to put things off until it becomes a cri- sis. Stress helps them think. They rare- ly plan ahead because they like the rush of doing everything at the last possible moment. The only problem is they cre- ate stress and anxiety for themselves and others as well as the very real possibili- ty of burnout. Most of the time what they accomplish is mediocre at best. The "Yes-Man" has a hard time say- ing no to anything or anyone. He tries so hard to please others that he usually pleases no one. A victim of FOMO—fear of missing out—he can't handle everyone having fun without him. The "Yes-Man" usually ends up always being a follow- er, never a leader. The lack of discipline leads to always feeling like a doormat. The "Slacker" just wants to hang out and would rather do anything than con- centrate on a task. Mindless pastimes are the best use of their time. They can for- get appointments easily, distracted by what they're doing at the moment or not wanting to stop. They can't be counted on and are viewed as lacking responsi- bility. They could miss opportunities by simply being disconnected from what's important. The "Prioritizer" is where highly effec- tive people spend their time. He looks at everything going on and decides what's most important—the big rocks–what needs to be done first and done well. Once completed, he looks at the small rocks, the little things that are not so im- portant but take up time. By planning use of time a sense of control is achieved, as well as balance between the big rocks and little rocks, and tasks are done well. During this pandemic we should be thinking, "What's the most important thing for me to do today? Am I priori- tizing my time to benefit me, my family, and our health? " By learning to manage our priorities and recognize distractions, habit three will become the best way to meet our goals.
