Step 1: Figure out time you must wake up
The evening before the big day, figure out exactly what time you need to be up in the morning. Work backwards from the time of your appointment, factoring in how long you’ll need to shower, have breakfast, and so on.Subtract the total amount of time from your appointment time… That’s when you absolutely have to wake up.
第一步:確定你必須起床的時(shí)間
在重要日子到來的那個(gè)晚上,要確定你早晨起床的時(shí)間。 從會(huì)面的時(shí)間往前算,將洗漱,吃早飯和其他時(shí)間計(jì)算在內(nèi)。減去會(huì)面的所需時(shí)間,那就是你必須起床的時(shí)間。
Tip:Don’t pad your times; if you do, you’ll know you have extra time built in and you won’t take your wake-up time seriously.
小貼士:不要將時(shí)間安排得過緊。如果你那樣做,你就會(huì)知道你需要有額外的時(shí)間,而且你不會(huì)要起床的時(shí)間當(dāng)回事。
Step 2: Prepare night before
The night before the event, make whatever preparations you can to save yourself some time the next morning.
第二步:提前準(zhǔn)備
在重要日子到來的那個(gè)晚上,將一切能做準(zhǔn)備的都準(zhǔn)備好,來為第2天節(jié)省時(shí)間。
Step 3: Get a friend to call
Call a friend who’s an early-riser and ask them to call you at your designated wake-up time.
第三步:讓朋友叫你起床
讓早起的朋友在需要起床的時(shí)間給你打電話。
Tip: Don’t forget to thank your special friend afterwards with a small gift or notion.
小貼士:別忘了給你朋友帶個(gè)小禮物以示感謝或言謝。
Step 4: Set alarm
Set the most annoying alarm clock you can find to your designated wake-up time. Then set as many more as you can get your hands on to go off each minute leading up to it.
第四步:定鬧鐘
用最煩人的鬧鐘以便叫醒你,然后盡可能將時(shí)間往前設(shè)置。
Step 5: Go to bed early
When everything’s set, go to bed. Make sure you “turn in” no later than eight hours before you need to be awake.
第五步:早睡
當(dāng)一切都準(zhǔn)備好時(shí),該去睡覺了。要確保在起床時(shí)間前至少8小時(shí)上床睡覺。
Tip:If you have roommates, ask them to respect your need for sleep. If they have to play video games past your bedtime, they can mute the TV.
小貼士:如果你有室友,讓他們配合你的睡覺時(shí)間。如果他們必須在你睡覺時(shí)間外玩游戲,讓他們將電視調(diào)成無聲。
Step 6: Pick good sleeping position
Pick a good sleeping position. Sleep experts recommend sleeping on your side, and advise against sleeping on your stomach.
第六步:擺好睡覺姿勢
選一個(gè)好的睡覺姿勢。專家推薦側(cè)身睡,建議睡覺時(shí)不要壓到胃。
Step 7: Get up when first alarm
When the first alarm sounds, get up immediately. You don’t want the rest of them going off, do you?
第七步:鬧鐘響第一聲時(shí)就起床。
鬧鐘響第一聲時(shí)馬上起床。你不想讓鬧鐘響個(gè)不停,是吧?
Step 8: Complete morning routine
Complete your morning routine exactly as planned, using only as much time as you allotted yourself for each activity. Or less—if you finish early, you’ll have time to relax and gather your thoughts.
第八步:按往常一樣做早晨應(yīng)做的事
按計(jì)劃做早晨應(yīng)做的事。每個(gè)步驟都要按分配的時(shí)間做,或是用更少的時(shí)間——你越早完成,你就越有時(shí)間來放松和整理思緒。
Step 9: Go get 'em
Now go get ‘em, tiger! Ace that interview! Land that job! Attaboy!
第九步:大顯身手吧
現(xiàn)在大顯身手吧。搞定面試,找到工作。好樣的!
