Buried in the middle of the copy is the dirty little secret:

"This needs to be done the night before."

I've been doing this part for years and it has really made a difference. It only takes 15 to 30 minutes, but I review hard copy every night just before lights out. I always know the first thing I'll be working on the next day.

I don't go to OP's extreme by doing the first thing before anything else. But maybe I should. I could easily get this first hour of work in before anything else. I may give this a try next week to see how much difference it makes overall. Stay tuned...
