Preparing for Your Day

Whether you work in research or software development or are a business owner, you need to be able to start the day right. Take the first minute to clear your head. This needs to be done without any mobile applications or tablets. As you are clearing your head, pay attention to your breathing and do it consciously. Then take three minutes to write some thoughts down that you have or even doodle. This will help bring to light that things that are stressing you or work out the kinks in some ideas you might have. After you wrote those ideas down, take a look at the list or picture and make a plan about how to address it. It will only take a minute. If you spend those seven minutes to start your day, things will go much smoother and you will be happier in your work.
