新习惯新生活：改变生活的9个习惯

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.
早晨起来，喝一杯水，有助于清除晚间睡眠时滞留在你体内的毒素。它不仅疏通消化道，还促进新陈代谢，神清气爽之感由此而生。

6. Singletask
单一任务

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.
全世界的人口中，只有2%的人可以成功地一心多用。我们其他人都是系列任务型：在不同的任务之间周转，每一个任务都浅尝辄止，而不是每次专注解决一个任务。我打破这种习惯，从必做清单中选出一项，然后把清单放进抽屉里，直至事情做完。之前的习惯根深蒂固，但一旦改掉这种习惯，你头脑就会更清醒，不再焦躁不安，工作质量也势必火箭般攀升。

7. Go Minimal
追求简洁

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!
混乱的环境导致混沌的思维。好好清理一下房间，把不再使用或从来没用过的东西收起来。去年一次彻底大扫除之后，我的房间就像遭了劫！知道你到底需要什么，围绕你的都是用得着的东西，感觉真好。额外奖励：东西少了，清理起来自然省时省力。

8. Set Online Boundaries
控制在线时间

It’s too easy to get sucked into an online world of status updates, memes, 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. 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.
状态更新、留言、贴吧、视频，人们易于沉浸于网络世界。当意识到时，大半天已经过去了，你还什么都没做。尤其对于我们那些通过互联网工作的人。我养成的最佳日常习惯之一，早晨第一件事不查看邮箱或社交媒体帐号。为在线任务设立特定的时间区间。当然，定期查看邮箱，看是否有来自老板或同事的紧急邮件，很有必要，但如果没有，马上退出，返回现实世界。

9. Create an Evening Routine
晚间有计划

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.
晚间安排和晨时安排同样重要，因为它为睡个踏实觉做身体上的准备。上床1小时前做些放松的事情，把它当作该上床睡觉的身体“信号”。
