How Your Mornings Are Not Yours!

Ever feel stressed out from work the second you open your eyes in the morning? You are not alone. Many people wake up, check their smart phones and realize all the emails that have been able to sneak into their inboxes sometime between 10pm the night before and the now 6am staring them back in the face. This is how your mornings are getting away from you. Stop checking emails as soon as you wake up. Period!

Simply don’t check your emails in the morning. Make it a rule and stick to it, which will be hard. If you aren’t due unto work until 9am, make sure you stay away from emails until 10am. You will be more productive than answering emails from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep. You do need you time, which is hard in today’s multi-media and social media culture.

Start with Monday. Set a rule for your phone to disallow emails until 10am. Try it for two days and see how you feel. I promise, you will feel as if you have your mornings back!

Until Monday,
