What the Most Successful
People Do Before Breakfast

I just read What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast: And Two Other Short Guides to Achieving More at Work and at Home. by author Laura Vanderkam. The book is very short; yet interesting.
On the negative side, it appears to me as if the book isn't the best researched written work. In fact, it feels as if it was written to satisfy a writing commitment by the author.

First things first

In any case, it still addresses something I find to be essential: there is nothing like starting the day with a clear idea of what's important to accomplish and what's not. It's all about knowing what the "A" priorities are. "B" and "C" tasks should be labelled as being less important. The mindless activity of checking the e-mail inbox as soon as one arrives to the office, for example, should be left for later; after the important stuff gets done. Besides, reactively reading e-mails is a good way to let others control our day. Think of it. We are surely in trouble if we leave the responsibility of what to do next to third parties sending the e-mails. What do they know about what is important to us?
Because of its short length, this is a perfect book for those just starting.
