Morning Routine at Work
- Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before starting time, so that you have a planning period before you start your day.

You can see when you’re committed, so you’ll be less likely to allow interruptions.

- Schedule big tasks first, before smaller, easier-to- accomplish items.
