How to Spend the First 10 Mins at Work

Inspired by a blog article created by @businessinsider.

How do you start your working day?

Checking your email?
Gossiping around the coffee machine?
Scrolling through Instagram?

Maybe it's time to change it up?

Here’s 4 easily actionable tips to start your working day right!

Tip 1 - Don't Check your email.
This is a reactive chore, not a proactive action. Don't start your day on the back foot, try checking them before you arrive - maybe whilst commuting.

Tip 2 - Prioritize Your List.
Eat that Frog! Do the thing that takes the most willpower and focus first thing. It's all down hill from then on.

Tip 3 - Create a Plan of Attack.
Breakdown goals into actions, bite sized chunks are easier to complete than a big task.

Tip 4 - Start With a Planning Session.
List out all your tasks, review to discover what is feels most urgent and important.
