The morning routine is key. In the beginning, I wasted time waking up to tweak a resume. It took time to learn that 15-20 minutes of researching and networking was worth more than whatever insignificant change I made to my resume. It's also a marathon with ups and downs. Writing down 3 "to do" items (an email, a call, etc) at the start of the day kept the work manageable, myself accountable, and momentum moving forward.

Great call out on the morning list. Helps to see what you accomplished by the end of the day.
