Life Lived: I wake up at 7 a.m. I try to catch up on the news and the scan through my emails & text messages. My office starts at 9 a.m., and the first thing that I do is reshuffle my priorities and figure out my intentions for the day. This helps me to anchor myself in terms of what needs to get done on that particular day. Then I would jump right into my work starting off with the more complex tasks. Planning is an essential tool for me, which always helps me meet deadlines well before they are due. After returning from work, I would grab some refreshments and head off to the gym for a workout session. Physical fitness is very important to me as it allows me to stay energetic and focused.
