I make lists of things I absolutely must accomplish in a given day, then park everything else that comes up.
I first get up early in the morning have a great breakfast. That will give me all the energy that I need and focused on my brand ambassador job that I promote products for marketing company's.
Cold room temperature and not too much light
Before I start the day, I jot down 3 tasks I intend to complete and begin working on them. When I get those three done, I jot down another 3 things.
I plan my day at the start and then try to stick to the plan as much as possible.
Yes. I perform daily tasks in the same way, at the same time every day. This way I don't miss any steps and I'm focused on work.
Yes, I do things in the same order every morning to start out my day.
Every day is vastly different. To keep me on track, I plan a weekly to-do list derived from my master to-do list on Friday afternoons. At the end of each day, I review the to-do list to plan what my top priorities are for the next day. When I come into the office in the morning, I check my to-do list and start working down the list. I have frequent interruptions with meetings and people coming to my desk. So, I keep the list on index cards at my keyboard so it is easy for me to see and helps me stay focused.
Saying good morning, and cheerful smiley faces.
To do list flagged with tasks that need to happen today, next day, etc. Scheduled breaks to walk away from computer and reset.
Short list of what is to be accomplished
Email and breakfast first thing. At least 1 walk out side when changing tasks to clear the head.
Sadly, noise cancelling headphones.
showering, shaving and then my "30-foot commute" to the office. I still get ready like I'm going to the office regardless of the fact that the office is in my house.
Wake up early. Spend time on LinkedIn reading industry related articles on trends that are affecting my customers.
Pair programming means if I drift into checking email or personal stuff, I’m wasting someone else’s time, not just my own.
yes, get up from my desk every hour and walk around for at least 2 mins, talk to someone you are working with, get a different perspective on things
