Our
next event will be at Indigo Blue on 9th November. The
topic will be 'Having established demand and support for our product what else
should we do to ensure commercial viability?" We hope to see you there!
1. Wake up early. Tim Cook, Richard Branson
and Jack Dorsey are famously early risers. By getting up early, before anyone
else, you minimize potential distractions and can focus your time on
priorities, rather than the spontaneous crises that naturally arise throughout
the working day.
2. Exercise. Vogue editor Anna Wintour
plays tennis every day before work. During her time in office, Condoleezza Rice,
former US Secretary of State, would get up early six days a week to make room
for her morning workout. Not only does this help you to fit in exercise before
it has a chance to be squeezed out of your schedule, it also helps to focus the
mind and lift your spirits before a long day at work.
3. Drink water, instead of coffee. A 2012
study by the University of Connecticut suggested that even mild dehydration
could cause difficulties with concentrating. Water helps you to feel more
alert, rehydrates your body and kickstarts your metabolism. Huffington Post
founder Ariana Huffington starts every day with a glass of hot water with
lemon.
4. Catch up on the news. Keeping tabs on
what’s going on in the world is important so that you know how it will affect
your business and to develop solutions. Do this before you get to the office,
not before. Online news and 24 hour news channels mean that you up-to-date news
that you can actually use is right at your fingertips.
5. Check and answer emails. According to a survey conducted by
Robert Half Management Resources, around 50% of executives start the day by
checking their emails, compared to just 39% of entry level employees. This
allows them to focus on more important tasks throughout the day. Also, it can
help with organising their day and ensures that their emails are towards the
top of recipients’ inboxes when they get into work.
