Like me, I know most of the office people check their email first when they arrive in the office but others might have some rituals that could be interesting. So pls share it Lotters.

Hi ddaguno, I don't have to work on computer and for sure there is no computer on my office desk. Once I reach the office I drop my signature on the attendance recording book. After tidying all the stuffs on the desk I take out my mug from the drawer and then preparing hot coffee or green tea. I usually would take my homemade breakfast in the office then with the fresh made hot drink then After that I'm busy with my heavy load of paper work. When feeling bored and monotonous I then would like to relax myself looking at the small leafy indoor plants for a short while. My tired eyes would feel comfortable and easy looking at the greenish leaves. I give them a fresh spray at the same time Happy posting

The first thing I do when I arrive at my workplace is turn on my computer. Well, it has to be like that cause my job has something to do with computers for the whole day. After turning it on, I go out to the kitchen and get some water. Every day its like that for me.

I check my emails first. Then after reading all of them and replying to any mails that needs immediate reply I browse for the latest news. I don't buy newspaper so the internet is my only way to know the latest events.

I start my computer, and while it starts, I go get myself a coffee and some water. I need coffee in the morning to start my day, so this is really essential for me!

My husband and I own a business and the first thing I do when I get to the office, just like when I worked for someone else, is to check my voicemail. I will check my email next but I have always believed that people who take the time to call take priority over those who simply email.

I will on my PC first and comb my hair while waiting for my PC to start up. Afterwards, I will get a cup of coffee and drink it while checking my mails for the day. But sometimes, there are days that as soon as I sit on my office chair, the phone will rang and I have to attend to several inquiries first before I can even start to put my PC on. On my busiest days, half hour will past before I can attend to my morning rituals. Thanks to early phonecalls that start my day.

I will comb my hair and put some make up. Then I will clean my table to have a clean and great start. Those are my ritual when I reach the office.

Yes, we do check our emails. What i have done recently is i have downloaded positive affirmations. I come to the office in the morning I put on my head phones and see & listen to positive affirmations video that I downloaded from the internet. That is the first thing I do. This helps me to think positive and be positive the whole day. I feel and remain happy the whole day.

Since I open the office each day I turn on the lights first. Then I put my laptop in its dock, and get a cup of coffee.
