Never check your email (first thing in the morning)

Is your email inbox in the morning overflowing with thoughtful and strategic information that is directly related to what you intended to focus your day on? It never happens to me.

Instead it typically contains a myriad of minor problems all screaming out for my attention. If I get involved in all those minor problems first thing in the morning, it seriously derails my day. My brain gets scattered in a thousand directions, I focus on the wrong things. And I get in a bad mood because after 3 hours of dealing with others’ problems I have not paid any attention to my strategic agenda.
