一天之計(jì)在于晨
有沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)早上的時(shí)光總是很快溜走?怎么能夠利用好每天開(kāi)頭的幾個(gè)小時(shí),為自己的一整天開(kāi)個(gè)好頭呢?教你幾個(gè)小妙招,讓你輕松提高清晨的效率,迎接新一天!
建立當(dāng)前的常規(guī)
Step 1: Establish Current Routine
確立日常流程
Before you can make any changes to your current routine, you need to know what it is. Start by taking notice of how you spend your time. Do you reset the alarm a few times? Do you sit in the kitchen and wait for the coffee to brew? Jot down the steps you take and the times that you actually do these things.
在改變你當(dāng)前的常規(guī)之前,你應(yīng)該想清楚它們到底是什么。第一步把你每天做的事情記下來(lái)。你會(huì)把鬧鐘延遲幾分鐘再響嗎?你會(huì)坐在廚房里等咖啡做好嗎?把你每項(xiàng)活動(dòng)花費(fèi)的實(shí)際時(shí)間記錄下來(lái)。
選擇最重要的事情
Step 2: Decide What’s Most Important
選擇最重要的事情
What’s the point of being efficient if you’re not able to enjoy the time you’re saving. If there is something in your morning routine that you feel you simply can’t live without, it needs to be identified and considered sacred. For example, if you really need to [en]snooze
at least once in the morning, that ten minute sleep snack can be preserved. Likewise the cup of coffee and headline grazing.[/en]如果你不會(huì)享受你節(jié)約下來(lái)的時(shí)間,那你的效率還有什么意義呢?如果在你的清晨常規(guī)中有一些事情你不做就不能活,那就把它們列出來(lái)當(dāng)作神圣不可侵犯。比如,假如你每天早上都不得不小睡一下,那你必須為你的小睡留出十分鐘。同樣你可以為你的咖啡和報(bào)紙留出時(shí)間。
制作列表
Step 3: Make a List
列個(gè)單子
Now that you know what you’re doing, make a list of the things that must be done in the morning. It may be as simple as: wake up, bathroom, coffee, shower, dressed, check emails, and leave for work. Some lists are much more complicated with exercise, dog walking and meditation thrown in.
現(xiàn)在就把你每天要做的事情列出一個(gè)表吧。這個(gè)列表可能很簡(jiǎn)單:起床、廁所、咖啡、洗澡、打扮、查郵件、去上班。有些列表可能稍復(fù)雜一些:鍛煉、遛狗、冥想。
停止報(bào)紙訂閱
Step 4:Stop Your Paper Subscription
停止報(bào)紙訂閱
Normally you might linger ten minutes or so over the paper while you eat your breakfast or drink your coffee. It would be far better, however, to stop your paper subscription and simply read the news on your device or listen to the news of the world on the radio on your way to work.
通常情況下你會(huì)在吃早飯或喝咖啡的時(shí)候?yàn)g覽十幾分鐘的報(bào)紙。不過(guò),如果你停止訂閱報(bào)刊,只是閱讀下移動(dòng)設(shè)備上的新聞或是在上班的路上聽(tīng)一聽(tīng)國(guó)際新聞廣播會(huì)更好。
交叉時(shí)間表
Step 5: Mesh Schedules
交叉時(shí)間表
If you’re sharing a bathroom, all of your efficiencies are completely wasted if your roommate or partner isn’t on something of a schedule, too. Be very clear about the times that you need the bathroom and if the times overlap between the two of you, rearrange your schedule, adjust your wake-up time or simply flip a coin to make it all work. Otherwise it’s all for naught!
如果你是和別人共用衛(wèi)生間,那你必須和你的室友就時(shí)間表達(dá)成協(xié)商,否則一切都是白搭。明確你需要使用衛(wèi)生間的時(shí)間,如果你們之間存在沖突,那一定要調(diào)整你的時(shí)間表,換個(gè)時(shí)間起床或干脆拋硬幣來(lái)解決問(wèn)題吧。否則一切都沒(méi)有意義。
