11. Get the ball rolling early.
“Starting my day early with a morning routine centered around 
productivity helps set the tone for the day. A typical morning for 
me looks like this: over coffee I’ll answer any outstanding emails, 
network a bit by posting something on LinkedIn, read the news 
and catch up on current events, check my calendar, and send out 
any requests or questions that popped into my head overnight. 
After that I get ready for work, knowing the ball is in motion for 
the day and I’m set up for success.”
--Tom Buiocchi, executive director and CEO of ServiceChannel, 
a facilities management technology company, which supports 
brands like Under Armor, Chipotle, Louis Vuitton, CVS Health, 
and Equinox

12. Avoid meetings and don’t allow briefings.
“I limit the number of meetings that I’m involved in and don’t 
allow briefings where the meeting is dominated by presenting 
recaps, information that is incomplete, or information everyone 
already knows. Send an update ahead of time so the meeting can 
be spent debating and challenging, not staring at PowerPoints. 
The number of hours spent scheduling, preparing for, and sitting 
through meetings eats into the time that should be spent thinking 
and engaging in the business.”
--Brian Murphy, founder and CEO of ReliaQuest, a cybersecurity 
provider, which maintains 98 percent and 91 percent customer 
and employee retention rates, respectively, and saw 451 percent 
revenue growth from 2014 to 2017
