6 steps to a better morning at the office

The ticket to a smooth morning at the office starts the day before.  You must schedule time at the end of your work day to set up for an efficient tomorrow.  Stopping today's work "early" to set up for tomorrow is still working!  You are prepping yourself to be efficient.

Before leaving work:

1. File papers, empty trash can, and put things away.

2. Look at your calendar for tomorrow and prepare - even if that means just mentally preparing.

3. Prioritize your tasks for the next day.

4. Take only what you truly need home, or nothing.

While at home:

5. Decide what to wear tomorrow.  Since you already know what is on your calendar you know how to dress appropriately for the next day.

6. Get up 15 minutes earlier than you already do.
