"Eat the Frog First" Knock out the most daunting/hardest/most stressful task first. For me that usually involves phone calls (yay social anxiety). First thing I do every morning is make sure all my phone correspondence is taken care of, that way I don't keep putting it off all day. For general focus trouble - meditation works wonders. After getting the basics down you will be able to clear unwanted thoughts from your brain as easy as you swipe-up to close iphone apps. Also this is personal so YMMV, but I realized my morning coffee was more habit than useful. Since I started skipping my morning cup I'm less jittery, less tired after noon, and the one cup I do drink makes a much bigger difference.
