會改變你生活的9個日常小習慣

Having enorMous goals for your life is exhilarating, exciting… and at times, utterly terrifying. If you create daily habits to automate certain aspects of your life, however, you’ll create a sturdy foundation to take risks from.
生活中有很多很多的目標真是激動人心讓人興奮的一件事，有時候，當然也會有點恐怖。如果你能培養一些日常習慣來激發生活的某一部分，就已經給這些目標打下了堅實得基礎，減少了風險。

Here are daily habits that will make an immediate difference in your lifestyle and help you reach your goals sans Xanax prescription:
下面是一些能夠給你生活方式帶來巨大變化的日常習慣，也能幫你達到目標哦：

1. Visualize
想象

I used to find it hard to fall asleep until I began visualizing how I wanted the next day to go. Instead of my mind wandering from topic to topic, focusing on what “might” go wrong, I started focusing on what “would” go right. If you not only list in your mind what you’re going to do the next day but visualize yourself doing it, this matter-of-fact planning process helps keep uncertainty at bay (and the next day goes much smoother!).
在我開始想象第二天需要如何度過之前，我總是非常難以入眠。與其讓大腦從一個話題到另一個話題中漂流，集中去想想可能出錯的地方，不如開始想想哪些地方會做的很好。如果你不僅在腦海中列出了第二天的事情清單還設想了一下，這種實事求是的計劃步驟就已經能把某些不確定的因素一一排除了（第二天也會過得更加順利哦！）。

2. Define Your Priorities
確定你的“第一優先”

One of the big reasons why you’re not reaching your goals is likely to do with how much you have on your plate, professionally and personally. It’s likely you’re trying to do too many things at the same time. Ask yourself: what are your ultimate goals? Once you’ve defined them, drop everything that doesn’t cater to them. You can always come back to these things later, after you’ve established what’s most important to you.
你還沒能實現目標的最大原因之一，有可能就是要處理的公事私事實在太多。有可能你會在同一時間試着處理很多事情。不妨問問自己：什麼是你的終極目標？一旦你確定了，把那些與目標無關的事情拋到腦後。等完成了最重要的事情之後晚些時候再來處理吧。

3. Get Up Earlier
早起

I now get all of my important work done before everyone else is even awake—you would not believe the difference this makes! There’s no better feeling than knowing no matter what happens for the rest of the day, you’ve accomplished what you set out to. Bring on the interruptions and distractions; you’ll be armed and ready!
在大家還沒起牀之前我已經把重要的工作都做完了——你真是無法想象這帶來的巨大影響！這是一種非常棒的感覺：因為你清楚得知道不管這天接下來會發生什麼事，你都已經完成了你打算做的事情。哪怕有打斷或干擾，你還是全副武裝準備完畢！

4. Create a Morning Routine
創造一個清晨模式

Wake up and do the same things in the same order before you start your day: have a glass of water, exercise, read, etc. Do things that you normally don’t have time for that make you happy. Easing into your day instead of rushing to get started not only depletes your stress level significantly, but puts you in a proactive frame of mind for the remainder of the day.
一天開始之前，用相同的次序來起牀和做其他事吧：喝杯水、鍛鍊、閲讀等等。做那些你通常沒時間做的事，這會讓你無比開心。不要在早上急忙忙抓緊時間，慢慢開始一天的生活吧，不僅能減輕你的壓力，還能讓頭腦更加清醒的去思考今天要幹些什麼。5. Drink Water
喝水

Having a glass of water first thing in the morning helps rid your body of toxins that have been stored overnight. Not only does it aid your digestive tract, it also boosts your metabolism, helping you feel energized sooner.
早晨起來空腹喝水能幫助身體排出一夜的毒素。不僅能促進你的消化機制，還能促進新陳代謝，幫助你很快充滿能量。

6. Singletask
單一任務處理

Only 2% of the world’s population can successfully multitask. The rest of us posers are serial-tasking: flitting from one task to another, nudging ourselves forward with each instead of focusing on one at a time. I broke this habit by choosing one item on my to-do list, then hiding it in a drawer until I was done. It’s a tough habit to break, but once you do your mind feels clearer, you feel less restless, and the quality of your work skyrockets across the board.
全世界只有2%的人有多項任務成功完成的能力，剩下的我們在遇到多重任務時都會從一個任務跳轉到另一個任務，無法一次聚焦一個任務，導致對每個都關注不多。我靠着在列表清單裏選出了一個任務，直到完成之前把其餘的全部鎖在抽屜，這樣才慢慢改變了習慣。這個習慣真的非常難改變，一旦你做了就會發現思緒變清晰了，不會再那麼焦慮了，工作質量也會突飛猛進。

7. Go Minimal
從小事着手

External clutter leads to mental clutter. Do a clean sweep of your home and get rid of everything you no longer use or have never used. By the end of my own clean sweep last year, it looked like I’d been robbed! There’s no better feeling than knowing you actually need and use everything you’re surrounded by. Bonus: you also save time by not having as much to clean!
外界的混亂會帶來內心的混亂。好好整理屋子，扔掉那些你不會再用或是從來沒有用過的東西吧。去年我那次打掃屋子到了最後，感覺自己被洗劫了一番！那種知道自己周圍真正需要和利用什麼的感覺超棒！好處：這能大大節省時間，誰讓你沒有那麼多時間一直打掃衞生呢。

8. Set Online Boundaries
設置上網限制

It’s too easy to get sucked into an online world of status updates, list posts, and videos. Before you know it, over half your day is gone and you have nothing to show for it. This is especially difficult for those of us who work on the Internet. One of the best daily habits I’ve established is not checking my e-mail or social media accounts first thing in the morning.
網上的世界充滿了狀態更新、列表宣傳和視頻，稍一不慎就會沉迷其中。當你意識到這點時，大半天已經過去，你仍然無所事事中。這對於那些從事互聯網工作的人們來説更加困難。最好的日常習慣就是早晨起牀不要最先查看郵件或社交賬號。

Create specific windows of time for your online tasks. It’s okay to check your e-mail periodically in case you receive urgent requests from your boss or co-workers, but if you check and there aren’t any, abort and get back to your day.
設立個單獨的時間來專門處理網上的任務。時不時的查看郵件當然可以，以防會有老闆或同事發來的緊急需求，但一旦查看之後發現沒有就趕緊回到日常生活中來吧。

9. Create an Evening Routine
創造一個夜晚模式

Your evening routine is just as important as your morning routine, as it prepares your body for a solid night’s sleep. Create a relaxing routine that starts about an hour before you go to bed, and use it as your body’s “signal” that it’s time to go to sleep.
和清晨模式一樣，夜晚模式也相當重要，這可是讓身體睡個好覺的時間。可以睡前一小時開始一些輕鬆地事情，把這個當成對自己身體的“信號”告訴自己該睡覺啦。
