A Better Morning Routine

A good morning does not need to begin at five o’clock. It begins the night before, when you make one or two small decisions. You can put your clothes beside the bed, fill a bottle of water, and write down the first task for tomorrow. These simple actions make the next morning easier because you have fewer choices to make.

美好的一天并不一定要从凌晨五点开始。它可以从前一天晚上开始——当你提前做好一两个小决定时。你可以把衣服放在床边，装好一瓶水，并写下第二天的第一项任务。这些简单的行动会让第二天早晨更轻松，因为你需要做的选择更少。

When you wake up, start with an action that takes less than two minutes. Open the curtains, drink some water, or stretch your arms. Do not try to change everything at once. Choose one habit and repeat it for a week. A routine becomes useful when it is simple enough to follow on a busy day.

醒来后，先做一件两分钟以内就能完成的事：拉开窗帘、喝点水，或者伸展手臂。不要试图一次改变所有事情。选择一个习惯，坚持一周。只有当一个习惯简单到在忙碌的日子里也能做到时，它才真正有用。
