The first thing you do

I have begun to realise the first thing I do when I get to work matters.

It is a time when I have the most energy and the most inspiration, so I really need to use this time well.

So I have started consciously deciding what my first action of the day is.

Will it be review a project? Will it be to look at my calendar for next week to see if it is shaped in the way I like? Will it be to pass by a colleagues desk to see how they are doing?

Whatever it is, I really enjoy it.

It seems that this sets the tone for the day. And it is usually something that I do well and thus has an impact on my overall planning and quite honestly my mood too.

I often feel I have accomplished something if I do this well.


So what is it you do first thing in your day?

Do you find you have the best moment of your day at this time too?  Or is your time somewhere else in the day?

Have you already made your impact for the day?

Let me know.
