Start your day right

Start your day right. How CEOs spend their mornings can affect their effectiveness for the entire day. Here’s how some leaders get their days off to a strong start:

• Waking up early to have “me time to prepare for the day.”
• Spending ten to 15 minutes in nature.
• Doing a game or puzzle to jump-start the brain.
• Reading the news for one hour: “I try not to immediately get into daily emails when I wake up and rather update myself on macro issues.”
• Jotting down tasks for the day before heading into the office.
• Meditating to clear the mind and stay focused.
