There’s work to be done. You need to start. But wait a sec.

It can be tempting to sit down and start working on the computer straight away. But sitting in front of that computer screen, thoughtlessly, can be a recipe for disaster.

Better to take a few minutes to see what you should actually be working on. Even looking at a pre-written list is not enough. You may have forgotten something or simply realise that certain items are more important.

The work is important only if it is the right work. Take a few minutes to look at it fresh each morning. Determine what’s important to get done. Then get to work.
