"The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today."
Elbert Hubbard, American writer and artist.
You might not be thinking of much more than getting home as you head out the door from work. After a long day in the office, it's nice to get away, reboot the brain, and spend time with those you love. As the old song goes, it’s five o’clock somewhere. I totally get that! However, that doesn't mean you can't spend a little time prior to the end of your workday preparing for the next one. It's logical, it saves times, it's really easy, and it will give you an edge the next day.

Here are a few quick suggestions to help get ready for tomorrow, today!
1.    Get your workspace in order. As the day starts to wind down, clean up your desk. File any stray papers or receipts in their appropriate files. Put tools, pens, and notebooks where they go. Wipe off any crumbs, corral the soda cans, toss the tissues, and clean your keyboard with a quick burst of canned air.
