　　保持清醒头脑：如何提高早晨工作的效率

　　      Most of us wish we could linger in bed a little while longer, but getting out of it earlier means getting back into it sooner. Here are simple tips for making each morning good personally and professionally.       我们很多人都希望早上再赖会儿床，但是早起可以让一天的生活更早步入正轨。下面的一些小建议，能让你在生活、工作上都更充分的享受早晨时光。       Pretend you are in middle school: Pack your lunch, set out your clothes, organize your to-do list and email, put the keys, bus pass, and your purse in one place. When the alarm sounds you will be more likely to pop out of bed, shower, get dressed, and jump on the productivity train stress free.       像在学生时代一样准备好要做的事：包好午饭，选好衣服，列好即将要做的事和要看的邮件，把钥匙、交通卡和钱包放在同一个地方。如果这些都提前做好，当早晨闹钟响起，你更有可能马上起床、冲澡、穿衣，富有效率也不用急吼吼的赶时间。       The early bird does catch the worm. Try starting your day extra early — like 5 a.m. It can be a tremendous productivity booster and get you in good with the boss.       “早期的鸟儿有虫吃。”如果很早开始新的一天——比方说5点，能让你做更多的工作而且老板会更欣赏你的工作态度。       If you get anxious in the morning at the office take a break with a co-worker or friend. Grab coffee. Most importantly: Gab about your stress and brainstorm efficient fixes you can implement immediately.       如果早上在办公室忙得焦头烂额，不如和同事或朋友一起休息一下。可以喝杯咖啡。但更重要的是：说说让你压力山大的事，想想有没有能马上解压的办法。       Instead of filling your post work schedule with dinner dates, plan an early am coffee date with a friend. You will start the day sooner and waltz into the office caffeinated and cheery after a cheap friend date. You also won't be stressed all day thinking about how you are going to be late for dinner and can focus on work.       可以把下班后应酬的时间换到早上，和朋友约好在早上喝咖啡相聚的时间。这样你可以更早开始一天的行程，而且在和朋友聚过以后，你也会以更好的心情开始工作。你不用整天担心晚上赴宴迟到，也能更集中精力工作。
