Pete, a long serving member of the team always seems to find these really useful self help lists on the internet. And share them with us. I do wonder that if he actually put some of it into practice he might not be in our team. Unless this is his perverse idea of success. link to article

I knew I must be going wrong somewhere…. 🙂
Paint-by-numbers success
Don’t rich people just give the best advice? The wealthy & powerful folks at Davos provided a handy list of 14 things successful people do before breakfast.
And they’ll only take 3.5+ hours every AM.

Well. I think I do most of this…
Wake up early – often by child who had a nightmare/urgent Christmas list thoughts/lost teddy bear/erroneously thought it was school time 3 hours early
Drink water – can’t afford orange juice so water only option
Exercise – cycle to station
Business project – proof read the current report from the team for the millionth time in train
Personal project – work out how to keep wife off Groupon
Quality time with family – try to tell child to go to her own bed, nicely
Connect with Spouse – forlornly attempt “connecting manoeuvres” in the morning but doomed to failure as The Wife is “not a morning person”
Make bed – reclaim my pillow that was stolen during the night by The Wife
Network over coffee – talk to AMT staff while buying coffee at station
Meditate – try to relax as station announcement that train is delayed/cancelled
Grateful list – ?
Plan and strategise – given up trying to do this as everything turns to sh!te anyway
Email – in train. But depends if train wifi is working. Usually not.
Read news – read gossip pages in Metro if I can get a seat on Tube.

I am reliably informed that this is a very similar routine to prison…
