What helped me the most were 3 simple steps:

對我最有幫助的是3個簡單步驟：

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點至6點之間或更早。

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.做其他事情之前先沖澡——淋浴之后很難再睡回籠覺，感覺新的一天已經開始了。

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.立刻做點工作——先不要急著吃早餐，不要讀報紙，不要瀏覽郵件。先工作一小時，然后再繼續早上的常規活動。

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

這些活動能為一天剩余的時間打下基礎，一天都有緊迫感、高效而且有條不紊。

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

最該做的是第二步。

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.

盡你所能使這些成為生活中的必須。跟朋友聊聊，告訴他們你做到了就給他們發信息，或者更好的方法是告訴他們每次你做不到都請他們吃飯。

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!

早晚你的錢包也會督促你養成習慣。為了自己試一試，根據自己的情況做些調整。但如果你能把這些簡單活動變成習慣，工作效率和專注力一定會提高。

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

顯然養成習慣的最好方法就是從點滴做起，找到適合自己的方法。

? 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 and increment 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分鐘起床直到你達到期望的起床時間。給身體太大沖擊，突然提前3個小時起床只會在隨后的幾天使你筋疲力盡并打亂睡眠規律，所以既要睡足又要循序漸進。

? 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.

? 第二點就是每天早上做喜歡的事作為早起的獎勵，喝一杯新鮮的水果奶昔、漫步或花點時間冥想等。

? 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.

? 就我個人而言，去健身房然后洗個冷水澡非常適合我。絕對不要洗熱水澡，會浪費時間，因為你洗上就不愿意出來，還會使你更困。

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

? 養好身體會使你醒來時神清氣爽，而不是頭昏腦漲還很疲憊。要適量飲食、適量鍛煉、還要睡眠充足。

? 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.

? 我喜歡做的另外一件事是立刻離開房子或宿舍，走得越遠越好，找一個遠離家的安靜地方做點工作。

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.

關鍵和困難在于首先要堅持合理的常規活動，保持住這個習慣（每天都做，沒有例外）就能堅持下去了。
