Build Your Workday Around Focus: Tips from the Trenches: "How to start your day right:

1. Write 'FOCUS' on an index card. It sounds silly, but if you can't commit to this simple step, you probably won't commit to the others. Write it down, and keep it next to you on your desk. It's a simple reminder, to help you be conscious.

2. Write down your Most Important Task for today. Actually write it down, on the same index card. You're going to do this first. It should be a high-impact task that makes a big difference to your business, career, life. Something that you're excited about is best."
