Eight hours of productivity at the office needs a rigid control and efficiency. To be sure that the hours spent at the office are highly productive we need some morning tips for that. First few hours are significant —so it’s important you have a morning routine that sets you up for success. <\/p>\n

1.Arrive on time<\/strong>
\nThis may be obvious to most people—but some don’t realize that. Your delay gives a bad impression to your colleges and your boss.. “Getting in on time or a little early helps your mindset for the day and helps promote a feeling of accomplishment,” says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant. <\/p>\n

2.Take a deep breath<\/strong>
\nMichael Kerr, an international business speaker, author and president of Humor at Work: “Do something to focus in on the here and now.” Many people come into work harried because they don’t leave enough time at home to deal with “home stuff,” he says, “and then they’ve barely survived another horrendously stressful commute, and then they dive into the madness.” Slowing down, taking a moment to pause, and creating a routine around centering yourself can work wonders, he adds. <\/p>\n

3.Start each day with a clean desk<\/strong>
\nIt’s good to have a fresh morning every day. So you need to have a clean and organize desk. Everything that has to do with yesterday’s project or discussion has to be put aside. “Leave any crap from yesterday behind, tap into what’s happening at the outset of the day, get organized and ready or hit the ground running, if that’s what is needed,” says David Shindler, an employability specialist and author of Learning to Leap. <\/p>\n

4.Don’t be moody<\/strong>
\nYour good mood, is the key to your success, so you will need it every day. “First and last thing in the day is when emotional intelligence can have the greatest impact,” Shindler says. So if you’re not a “morning person,” try to suck it up and have a positive attitude when you arrive at the office. Grab a second or third cup of coffee, if that’s what it takes.
\nKerr agrees. “Your first hour at work can set your ‘attitude barometer’ for the rest of the day, so from a purely emotional point of view, I think it’s an important part of the day,” he says. “One morning grump can infect an entire team and put everyone on the wrong footing.”<\/p>\n

5.Organize your day<\/strong>
\nThe first hour of the work day is the best time to assess priorities and to focus on what you absolutely need to accomplish. Too many people get distracted first thing in the morning with unimportant activities such as diving right into their morass of e-mail, when there may be a whole host of more important issues that need dealing with. Make a to-do list and try to stick to it. However, if your boss has an urgent need, then it’s OK re-shuffle your priorities within reason.
\nAnita Attridge, a career and executive coach with the Five O’Clock Club, a career coaching organization, says when you prepare your morning to-do list, determine what must be done today and what can be completed tomorrow, and prioritize accordingly. <\/p>\n

6.Be present<\/strong>
\nEven if you’re not a morning person, you need to be awake when you get the office. Especially if you’re in a leadership position, it’s critical to be present, mentally and physically, and to communicate. Taking the time to connect with your team members is essential, and doing the seemingly small things–making eye contact, smiling, asking them about their night, and checking in on what they may need help with–helps you as a leader take the pulse of the team, and helps set the tone for all the employees. <\/p>\n

7.Check in with your colleagues<\/strong>
\nA quick 5 to 10 minute team huddle can also be an effective way for many people to start their day. Make it a short meeting, with no chairs, have everyone share their top goal for the day. These meetings helps people focus and more importantly, connects everyone with the team. <\/p>\n

8.Don’t be distracted by your inbox<\/strong>
\nThis one is difficult for most people—but the experts agree that you shouldn’t check your e-mail first thing in the morning. If you do, only read and respond to messages that are urgent. Attridge agrees. “Only respond immediately to the urgent messages so that you control your morning activities.” For far too many people, e-mail and the web can serve as huge timewasters and distracters, particularly in the morning. Once you start checking e-mails, it’s a click away from watching the funny video someone forwarded you; entire schedule is already thrown off before you’ve even begun your day.”<\/p>\n

9.Take advantage of your cleared head<\/strong>
\n“Many people feel that their brains function best in the morning, and that morning is when they are most creative and productive,” Kerr says. “Consider whether you are making the best use of your brainpower and plan ‘high brain’ activities in the morning.” <\/p>\n

10.Plan a mid-morning break<\/strong>
\nA short break after a couple hours of work makes a perfect moment to evaluate if things are going on schedule and by to do list. In this free minutes you can have a tea.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
