Very often you will arise the next morning with ideas and insights that are relevant to your work plans.

•        Schedule your time

“Scheduling your time reduces stress and releases energy.” When you plan your day, week or a month in advance you enjoy a great feeling of control. With the greater sense of being in charge, you tend to improve your self-esteem and personal power hence accomplish more throughout your day.

• .          Start early
