"Use the time as an inspirational hour, reconnect with your mission, core values and review your goals," says Robin Sharma, author of The Leader Who Had No Title. "This will build deep focus against distractions as you move through your day." Or spend your hour meditating, visualizing achieving what's the most important to you, writing in your journal, listening to music, reciting affirmations or exercising.
