That’s why it’s important to scan two things right when you start your day: your calendar and your to-do list. Before email? If you can honestly say that you check your calendar and to-do list first thing in the morning, then I’m going to save you some time: stop reading this piece. Before the news? Before Facebook?

If an email only mentions grabbing coffee, it may seem less pressing. Having someone spend the time to be your mentor is a privilege, so it’s normal to wonder how to be a good mentee.
