　　What helped me the most were 3 simple steps:

　　对我最有帮助的是3个简单步骤：

　　1.Get up at a very early time - Something between 5 and 6 in the morning or earlier.

　　1.早早起床——早上5点至6点之间或更早。

　　2.Take a shower before doing anything else - Once you take a shower you cannot go back to bed easily and it will seem like you started the day already.

　　2.做其他事情之前先冲澡——淋浴之后很难再睡回笼觉，感觉新的一天已经开始了。

　　3.Do some work right away - Don’t grab breakfast yet, don’t read the newspaper and don’t check your emails. First, do some work for an hour, then you may continue with your morning routine.

　　3.立刻做点工作——先不要急着吃早餐，不要读报纸，不要浏览邮件。先工作一小时，然后再继续早上的常规活动。

　　Doing these things sets the tone for the rest of the day as one of urgency, productivity and discipline.

　　这些活动能为一天剩余的时间打下基础，一天都有紧迫感、高效而且有条不紊。

　　The biggest thing you must out for is step #2.

　　最该做的是第二步。

　　Do anything you can to make this an absolute must in your life. Talk to friends about it, tell them you will send them a message once you have done it, or, even better, tell them you will pay for dinner every time you do not do it.

　　尽你所能使这些成为生活中的必须。跟朋友聊聊，告诉他们你做到了就给他们发信息，或者更好的方法是告诉他们每次你做不到都请他们吃饭。

　　Sooner or later your wallet will also motivate you to make this a must. Try this for yourself and adjust it as you see fit, but it will definitely improve your productivity and focus if you can make this simple routine a habit!

　　早晚你的钱包也会督促你养成习惯。为了自己试一试，根据自己的情况做些调整。但如果你能把这些简单活动变成习惯，工作效率和专注力一定会提高。

　　Clearly, the best way to make anything habitual is to start with baby steps and to test out what works for you.

　　显然养成习惯的最好方法就是从点滴做起，找到适合自己的方法。

　　• This means that if you're trying to wake up earlier, wake up earlier by 10 minutes every day until you reach your desired wake up time. Shocking your body and suddenly waking up 3 hours earlier is going to just about drain you for the next few days and mess up your sleep schedule. So get proper sleep andincrement your way up there.

　　• 意思是如果你正努力起得更早，每天比前一天提前10分钟起床直到你达到期望的起床时间。给身体太大冲击，突然提前3个小时起床只会在随后的几天使你筋疲力尽并打乱睡眠规律，所以既要睡足又要循序渐进。

　　• Another thing is to do something you like every morning. Reward yourself for waking up. So drink a fresh smoothie, go for a nice walk, take some time to meditate, etc.

　　• 第二点就是每天早上做喜欢的事作为早起的奖励，喝一杯新鲜的水果奶昔、漫步或花点时间冥想等。

　　• Personally for me, going to the gym and then taking a cold shower jumpstarts me. Never take a hot shower, it'll make you waste time because you won't want to come out and it'll make you sleepier.

　　• 就我个人而言，去健身房然后洗个冷水澡非常适合我。绝对不要洗热水澡，会浪费时间，因为你洗上就不愿意出来，还会使你更困。

　　• Treating your body well will make you wake up feeling refreshed rather than groggy and tired. Eat properly, exercise properly and sleep properly.

　　• 养好身体会使你醒来时神清气爽，而不是头昏脑涨还很疲惫。要适量饮食、适量锻炼、还要睡眠充足。

　　• Another thing I like to do is leave my house/dorm immediately. The further away I get, the better. Find a quiet place away from home where you can get some work done.

　　• 我喜欢做的另外一件事是立刻离开房子或宿舍，走得越远越好，找一个远离家的安静地方做点工作。

　　The key and struggle is primarily maintaining the proper routine. Stay consistent with your routine (do it everyday with no exceptions) and it'll stick.

　　关键和困难在于首先要坚持合理的常规活动，保持住这个习惯(每天都做，没有例外)就能坚持下去了。
