13 Things Successful People Do In The First 10 Minutes Of The Workday

Point 1:

 “The first few minutes at the office can be the most stressful because there’s a level of anxiety about what you may face: a sudden onslaught of urgent emails; last minute crises or meetings; a call to stop by the boss’s office; a cranky coworker, and so on. It takes greater self-awareness, a positive mindset, and self-training each morning to counter what feels like negative gravity pulling you down as you face overwhelming demands.”

Point 2:

Successful people tend to thrive on routine and habits. “Creating consistent habits is largely what makes them successful,” he explains. “And a key time for habit-forming practices is at the start of the day.” in other words, follow a routine each morning to add some level of predictability to an otherwise unpredictable time of day.

These are the 13 things:

1. They reflect.

2. They take a moment to pause and be present.

3. They get comfortable.

4. They review their to-do list, make any necessary adjustments, and mentally map out their day.

5. They prioritize.

6. They stretch, stand, and walk.

7. They take time to greet their team. 

8. They take a temperature read of their staff/coworkers.

9. They organize their work space area.

10. They strategically check email.

11. They anticipate and avoid distractions.

12. They smile and laugh.
