5 ways to start your business day right

A good start to your business day is the key to productivity. However, there’s no magic bullet. What works best for you may be completely ineffective for me. For example, some people get themselves going with a jog in the morning. I never got into jogging…it’s always been boring to me. It’s all about figuring out what works best for you and sticking to it.

I like to start my day with a good sense of my business. This usually begins with my dashboards. I have all the data I want to see in one place, providing access to information such as: What changed from the day before? Are there any trends over the past few days I should pay attention to?

If you want some good ideas, here’s a nice article on openforum.com entitled, "5 ways to start your business day right." I've found tip #4 to be especially effective.

How about you? How do you start your day to ensure maximum productivity?

I thought all the tips were good. I find starting my day out right is by planning out those 5 or more tasks before going home the night before. That allows me to hit the ground running.

I absolutely agree. I always check my calendar before I leave work, just to get a grip on what I need to accomplish tomorrow. It's a great help.
