Before I even start my Monday’s, I start late Sunday night.  I want the first working day of the week to start the same as the other working days of the week.  I clean up e-mails, do any support issues that cropped up over the weekend, evaluate weekly reports, and so on.  I try not to have any big surprises when I start on Monday.

When I get up and while coffee is brewing, I will listen to daily podcasts delivered in my personal e-mail from John C Maxwell and Darren Hardy.  I then read from the Bible based upon a site for “Reading the Bible in a Year (link to this is found on my prayer page http://www.rdconcepts.biz/Prayer.aspx).

Now I have my coffee, had some breakfast, and my daily reading done, I start reviewing what to work on for the day and what meetings I must attend.

For me, the routine is what gets me in the proper mindset to set my priorities for the day.  We only have 86,400 seconds.  We need to make the most of it.
