It's something that you're worried about but can't do much about. This would fall under the Circle of Concern. Anything you can directly address falls under the Circle of Influence.įor example, you might be worried about what the government is going to do about the economy. Some of these things you can influence, and some of these you cannot. The Circle of Concern encompasses anything you might be worried about, including your health, family, finances, the government, the state of the world, etc. The Circle of Influence concept was coined by Stephen Covey in his popular 1989 book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.Īccording to Covey, there are two "circles" we can use to categorize our worries: the Circle of Concern (the things we care about), and the Circle of Influence (things we care about and can affect).
