Good morning!
I had a coworker of mine asked me what I did my first moments of my wake up/day. What a great question and I appreciate the interest. The first thing I do is make a big up of coffee, Ha! I love coffee and often drink two to four cups per day. For this challenge, I have been drinking bullet proof coffee. I must say, I am now addicted! I then formulate my plan in my car. Also, I have been playing this as my morning anthem on my iPhone play list. As I settle into my desk, I find it irresistible to knock out all of my emails in my inbox. GREAT satisfaction. If you had any idea how many emails I get every day, you would understand. After I knock out my emails, I have been taking fifteen to twenty minutes to meditate and reflect. I focus on my wife, my kids and also just try to enjoy the peace of the morning.
Today, Casey wanted to get up and workout at 6:00 am. So I drove home and picked her up for the gym. I am quite lucky, I only live two miles away from the office. My teenager wants to hang out with me and I realize that this won’t always be the case. She never says much in the morning but I don’t mind. I am just happy to be with her. Per her request, we ran for about a mile, and then we worked the upper body with bench and dumbbells. At the end of the workout, we both came up with a challenge for the day. We would each give the other a subject – it could be a person, place, thing or idea and the other person had to take fifteen minutes during the day to learn as much as possible about it. I gave her Blaise Pascal. She told I had to Google “I am Malala.” Casey, I know that you are reading this so I expect some great conversation over dinner.
So this is my schedule of what I have accomplished and need to knock out:
4:30 Wake Up
5:00 Office – Clean up Outlook – return emails and delete old emails.
5:30 – Meditate and reflect
6:00 Pick up Casey for workout
7:30 At the office – Blog, administration work, schedule the rest of my day
8:00 – 9:00 Morning meeting, meet with co-workers that I am currently mentoring
9:00 – 10:00 Market candidates to hospitals that are currently working for me
10:00-11:00 Job post, push up jobs to social media and engage on social media
11:00-11:30 Finish job posting and plan the rest of my afternoon
11:30 – 12:00 Research “I am Malala,” and prepare a full report for Casey.
I hope you all make it a great day and see you tomorrow morning!
Andy
