Detail a day in your life — from wake to sleep.

Ensure my kids are set for school and I get myself ready for work. I then do my daily bible reading and drive to work. I try to listen to the radio every day to know issues and politics in my country. Once I get to work and prepare myself breakfast I get to my inbox, read pending emails and attend to them. I am in meetings throughout the day and my main focus is to engage our team. Before I head home, I ensure to document pending issues for the next day and prep tomorrow’s to-do list. I then get home and prepare my family for the next day.
