Remember when you used to have a period at the beginning of every day to think about your schedule, catch up with friends, maybe knock out a few tasks? It was called home room, and it went away after high school. But many successful people schedule themselves a kind of grown-up home room every day. You should too.

The first hour of the workday goes a bit differently for Craig Newmark of Craigslist, David Karp of Tumblr, motivational speaker Tony Robbins, career writer (and Fast Company blogger) Brian Tracy, and others, and they’ll tell you it makes a big difference. Here are the first items on their daily to-do list.

What Successful People Do With The First Hour Of Their Work Day

Love this one!

Honestly, what happened to great music like this? There’s something so beautiful and honest about this song. There’s only one way to truly love someone - all the way. Thank you, Mr. Sinatra.

If you are not being treated with love & respect, check your “price tag.” Perhaps you have marked yourself down. It’s you who tells people what you’re worth by what you accept. Get off the “clearance rack” and get behind the glass where they keep all the “valuables.” Bottom line: “value” yourself more.
Saw this one on Facebook today. Thought my friends should read it!
The very first step to being a rock star or the leader in any field at anything is to believe you are the best. Then, follow that up with the work and the steps it takes to accomplish your goal and actually be the best.
