1. Before you go to bed at night,tell your brain,"wake me up at __am”.
Unless you got drunk the night before, you’ll likely start waking up right before the alarm clock startles you awake.
在你睡觉前，用内音对自己说“我明天要在__时间起床”。这样，如果你头天晚上没有大醉一场，你将会在闹钟叫醒你之前醒来。
2. If the subconscious command doesn’t work,
set the alarm on your smartphone and put it far enough away from your bed so you have to physically get up to shut your alarm off in the morning when it goes off. You’ll be less likely to hit snooze once you’re already up.
如果上面的潜意识声音没有唤醒你，你可以采用将手机上的闹钟放置位置距离床足够远的地方，这样你就不得不在清晨闹钟响起时移动身体去关掉它，一旦你离开床，你再次睡回笼觉的可能性就比较小了。
3. Drink a liter of water upon rising.
Most people are under-energized because they’re underhydrated.Hydration is energy. Keep a liter of water at your bedside table before bed, and crush it immediately upon rising.
起床时喝一升水，大多数人会因为缺水而处于精神不佳状态，水合其实就是能量。你可以在你床前的桌子上放置一升水，起来时立即喝掉它。
4. After you brush your teeth, pause for a moment and smile at yourself.
Then say ,"I love you.”Most people don’t love themselves enough. As Aristotle said,"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act,but a habit.”If you are what you reatedly do, then why not repeatedly affirm something positive to yourself?
在你刷完牙后，对着镜子中的自己暂停一会，露出一个大大的笑容，说“我爱你”。大多数人对自己的爱并不足够，正如Aristotle说的“我们是我们重复做的，因此卓越不是一种行为，而是一种习惯” 。如果你就是你重复做的，那么何不多次地去肯定一些对自己积极的事情呢？
5. Take walks.
Walking has been known to help people solve problems, come up with new ideas, and have epiphanies that seem to have come out of nowhere. But they don’t come out of nowhere. They were there all along. Taking a walk just changes the context from ‘desk’ to ‘nature’. And nature is going to win almost every time.
大家已经知道，散步可以帮助人们解决问题，提出新主意，获得顿悟，这些似乎不知道从何而来，然而，他们并不是不知道从何而来，他们一直在那里。散步只是将背景环境做了改变，从办公桌到大自然，大自然在任何时候都具有无穷的力量。
6. Get grateful.
If you feel sad, if you feel like you don’t have enough of something; STOP and think of three things you’re grateful for. You’ll immediately feel better,I promise.
感恩。如果你感觉伤心，如果你感觉你拥有的太少，停止这些感觉，并且想三件你感激的事情，我保证你你将立即感觉更好。
7. Meditate for 10-20 minutes.
If you don’t know how, just sit down somewhere quiet and count to 4 while you inhale; then 4 counts as you exhale. Just focus on your breath.
冥想10-20分钟。如果你不知道怎么冥想，那就坐下，吸气保持4秒，呼气保持4秒（记得用肺部呼吸），集中注意力在你的呼吸上。
8. Do your ONE most important thing first.
Before beginning your work, review your ONE most important thing you need to do today. Then get started on it. Your focus and effectiveness will before far higher when you approach your day this way.
做你最重要的一件事。在你开始工作前，查看你今天需要做的一件最重要的事情，然后从最重要的事情开始，当你这么做的时候，你的注意力和效率将会提高很多。
9. Compliment one person every day
I started doing this several years ago and it feels great to give someone something without expecting a damn thing in return. In fact, you get a biochemical reaction of “happy chemicals” like oxytocin and serotonin when you give genuine compliment to someone.
每天赞美一个人。我在几年前就开始这么做了，赞美某人而并不期望任何一点回报，这让我感觉好极了。事实上，当你对某个人给予真诚的赞美时，你得到的是一种快乐的化学反应就像催产素和血清素（whatever)。
10. Sweat every day.
Speaking of "happy chemical” exercising–or at least finding a way to sweat every day– is one of the highest leverage things you can do for your overall physically healthier, you become professionally healthier as a bi-product.
像上面说的做“快乐化学”练习或者至少找到一种每天开心的方式，这是你能为你的身体健康做的一件最高级别的事情之一，作为衍生产品，你将变得更健康。
11. Revisit your day and remember the good stuff.
Write it down in your journal if you can. I like to end each day by asking myself,"What’s the best thing that happened today?"
回顾你的一天并记住好的事情，如果可以把它们写下来，我喜欢在每天结束时问自己 “今天发生的最好的事情是什么？”。
12. Read every day.
The greatest way to get the greatest ideas is to read, read,read. There’s this great quote that goes like this:"books are the hardbound drug of my choice.” I like that one a lot. Plus, the only side effect of reading is a positive one – the more ideas you get. Read something every day to expand your mind. Even if it’s just for 20 minutes.
每天阅读。获得最棒的主意的最好方式是阅读、阅读、阅读。这里有一个伟大的引用 “书是我能够选择的最好的药物”。我喜欢这样的描述，另外，读书的副作用只有一个，那就是你获得更多的想法。每天读一些来扩大你的视野，即便只是20分钟阅读。
