1. Do not be late
Sounds obvious, right? But many do not realize that being late not only spoils your reputation, but also can ruin your entire working day. “Arriving at work on time or a little earlier, you have time to mentally tune into work and gather your thoughts, and not immediately wallow in endless affairs,” says Taylor.
2. Take a deep breath
“Literally,” advises Michael Kerr. "And concentrate on what is happening here and now." Kerr claims that many people come to work with their heads full of household chores, which is why all tasks seem to them more difficult than they actually are. Just their attention is taken by others. “Slow down, take a break, switch to what you can handle now, leave the rest for later,” the expert recommends.
Woodward says he worked with staff members who spent 10 minutes each morning meditating before starting tasks. “To tune in the right way and gather your thoughts is very important. This is a great way to start the day. ”
3. Have a good breakfast
“Breakfast is actually the most important meal of the day. It will help you not only feel better physically, but also set the right psychological mood for the day, ”says Kerr.
4. Start every day from scratch.
“The events of yesterday’s meeting may revolve in your head, but they need to be discarded and concentrated on today,” says David Schindler. “Drop everything that happened yesterday. Today is what matters. Today you must be at your best. ”
5. Create a mood
Pay attention to your emotional state, and its effect on others. Schindler says that the mood you have in the morning affects the whole day, so you need to try not to lose heart in the morning. Cheer yourself up in a way that works for you before you get started.
Kerr agrees with him: “The first hour at work can set the tone for the whole day. If you are embittered or sad, then failure will haunt you even after work. ”
6. Plan your day
If you did not have time to plan your day yesterday, then the beginning of the day is the right time for this. “When you have before your eyes a list of at least basic tasks for the day, it will be easier for you to deal with them,” says Kerr.
“Set weighted priorities, sort tasks, break them down into smaller ones - then you will definitely know what you need to do in a certain period of time,” advises Anita Atridge.
7. Do not close
After you gather your thoughts, tune in and adjust the list of tasks, in no case do you need to go into yourself and immerse yourself in the work. Kerr advises: "Take the time to communicate with colleagues, discuss matters, ask for advice in something, help others yourself, be aware of what is happening around."
8. Place order in the workspace
“Tidy up the table - cleanliness is always a pleasure to work with,” advises Alexandra Leviticus.
Taylor also claims that it becomes difficult for many people to think clearly when there are a lot of unnecessary documents, notes and other regular “guests” around the desktop. “By removing it on the table, you will remove it in your head.”
9. Remind yourself the main purpose of your work.
“No matter how strange it sounds, I suggest you remember every morning about the main purpose of your work,” says Kerr. “In order to direct motivation in the right direction, do not forget why you are doing what you are doing. This will help focus on the right things. ”
10. Do not be distracted by mail
For many, this is an impossible task, and they begin the morning by reading email. “If you cannot deny yourself such a ritual, then at least just look through the headers and senders to satisfy your interest, but no more,” Taylor advises.
11. Make important contacts
“If you know that today you definitely need to meet with someone and discuss important issues, then contact these people in the morning - call or send a letter. But only if it is really very important. This will help you plan the next day, ”says Taylor.
12. Take advantage of the morning clear mind
“For many, people report high performance in the morning. Use it with benefit - move the most important tasks to the beginning of the day. May this time not be wasted, ”Kerr advises.
13. Do not forget about diversity
“Some people like order and order, others like to constantly change something. For these, I recommend a little shake in the usual routine. Not grandiose, but small, so as not to deviate from the plan, but to feel the diversity. Walk to work the other way, buy coffee on the way, wake up one day one hour earlier and take time for personal questions, forget one day about the rule not to check mail, etc. You yourself know what is best for you, ” - advises Schindler.
