This is inspired by Jennifer Cohen over at Forbes who wrote a wonderful article on “ 5 Things Super Successful People Do Before 8am ” (few of which I do, though I can claim #5). She includes chores like exercise, eat a healthy breakfast, map out the day–all great ideas, but not pithy enough for the average teacher I know.
