Last week I laid out the things you should do at the start of every work day. I said the first few hours in the office can have a significant effect on your level of productivity over the following eight.
That’s true, but also one key to a successful morning is ending the previous day properly.
“How you end the day is critical, as it has much to do with how you start the next day,” says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant. “It’s half of the puzzle of being productive. Both pieces are like bookends that carry extra weight relative to what happens in between. They’re like first and last impressions that hold tremendous impact on your view of your work, attitude and productivity level. The end of your day sets the stage for tomorrow, and the start of your day sets the stage for today.
