\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1.Get in early.<\/h4>\n

It sounds simple enough, but making the effort to get in to work 10-15 minutes earlier means you have time to make a drink and plan out your day before the morning rush (and it shows your dedication!)<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02.Make a list.<\/h4>\n

Trust us, there is no greater satisfaction than ticking items off your list to motivate you and help demonstrate your own productivity.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03.Start with the most important.<\/h4>\n

It might be tempting to get a few less important tasks done first, however begin with the most important (you\u2019re more productive in the morning) and then prioritise based on timeline.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a04.Reclaim your<\/strong> lunch break.<\/a><\/h4>\n
