What do you do with your first hour at work?

I read an interesting article found on Forbs, here, that I thought I'd like to translate into my educational context.

Kathy Caprino is an American business woman who works from home. Her first hour of work bigins when she alarm goes off, and looks like this:

1. Be still and be grateful
2. Bring to heart and mind exactly what I’d like to experience
3. Helped my son start off his day 
4. Prioritized my work for the day
5. Launched into the most important, juicy task that will help me feel I’ve accomplished something important

I can't help but think that there is a bit of a work/life imbalance declared here! Her first waking moments reflected in this article are about work! My first waking moments are usually about myself and what I am grateful for...family, health and lately... my next stint of excercise!

My working day, doesn't usually begin until I actually get to work, however there are those days when I take calls from sick teachers who need a reliever (but they are the minority!). On those days, early morning phone calls can begin anywhere from 6:00am to 6.45am. Then the phone calls to the relievers may take up to 20 minutes on a really bad day!

So, not considering those days, my first working hour generaly looks like this:
Arrive at school and turn on my computer

1. Open Outlook
2. Post the staff off site and the relievers in for the day on the Intranet system
3. Read any e-mails
4. Deposit e-mails to be attended to in the future into my outlook calendar on the right date
5. Respond to urgent e-mails
6. Prioritise my calendar and
7. Make a coffee 
8. Engage with colleagues in the staffroom - show an interest in them and their lives
9. Dialogue!

How do you spend your first hour of work?
