The 5-second tiny habit that made the biggest impact in my 2016 is actually a non-habit. Let me explain. I used to come back home in the evening, and fall asleep pretty late with a sense of dissatisfaction.

这个在2016年对我影响最大的5秒钟小习惯其实也不算习惯。我先解释一下，我以前晚上回到家很晚才睡着，总感觉不满足。

I wanted to get back into my evening meditation, and yet I could never manage to fit it into my evening.

我想恢复夜间冥想，然而晚上总没这个时间。

I wanted to read before bed to wind down and catch up with my reading list, and yet it never happened.

我想睡前阅读来放松并完成自己的阅读计划，然而却从未实现。

I also wanted to write in my journal to reorganise my thoughts before bed, and I only managed to write once every week or so. It was a bit random.

我也想记日记，睡前重新整理思路，我只能做到一周写一次左右，还没有规律。

What changed everything? This:

是什么改变了这一切？是这个：

Every night at 9:15 pm I have a reminder set to tell me it's "Amish time". Phone off, laptop off, screens off.

每天晚上9:15我都设定一个提醒告诉自己到“阿米什时间”（阿米什：过着简朴而严格乡村生活的新教徒）了。关掉手机，关掉笔记本，关掉所有屏幕。

I only make an exception to this on Friday and Saturday evening, when my routine is a bit more lax. I don't have a reminder, but I often switch off anyway and enjoy whatever I am doing.

只有周五和周六晚上例外，因为这两天时间安排的不紧，没有提醒我经常也会关掉一切，沉浸在我所做的事中。

2.I meditate in the evening a lot more often than I used to lately (which was never).

3.I read before bed every day.

The habit that has made the most profound impact on my life is scheduling.

对我生活有最深远影响的习惯是“制定计划”。

It can definitely influence positively your productivity and success.

这绝对会对你的工作效率和成功产生积极影响。

Scheduling is not just about the ordering of tasks throughout the day. It is about the proper allocation and usage of your time and effort.

“制定计划”不仅仅是安排一天做事的顺序，而是合理分配和利用你的时间和精力。

If you are able to design the right schedule and follow it, you are able to reap massive rewards for your work.

如果你能合理安排并遵守，那你就能实现工作效率最大化。

In the long run, the habit of scheduling your tasks and plans will pay off and provide you with the great opportunity to experience a breakthrough in your personal growth and become better than you ever thought possible.

从长远来看，安排任务制定计划的习惯会给你带来好处并使你有机会在个人成长上有所突破，成为一个比想象中更好的自己。

Master your time.

管理好你的时间吧。
