成功与失败的最大分野，来自不同的习惯。好习惯是开启成功的钥匙，坏习惯则是一扇向失败敞开的门。因此，首先要做的便是养成良好的习惯，全心全意去实行。
我们养成习惯，习惯支配我们。--John Dryden
清晨
1.早起：我很喜欢在凌晨5点起床，并花一些时间在上班前自己该做的工作上。
1. Wake Early: I am a big fan of waking at 5am and spending time working on myself before going to work.
2.锻炼：当我有了1周4次锻炼的目标后，我发现，告诉自己"我要锻炼而非明天"是很容易的。设置日常锻炼的期望值，远离那些潜在的借口，我已受益于这些日常习惯。
2. Exercise: when I had the goal of exercising 4 times a week I found it was very easy to tell myself I will exercise tomorrow instead. Setting the expectation of daily exercise removed this as a potential excuse and I have since reaped the benefits of this daily habit.
3. 回顾或（甚至更好）调整您的目标：每一天我设法接近实现我的短期，中期和长期目标。开始一天的回顾或调整我的目标意味着我能更好的认识一整天。正如罗宾·夏尔马所说：有了更好的认识你可以做出更好的选择，当你做出更好的选择，你会看到更好的结果。
3. Review or (even better) Rewrite Your Goals: each day I try to get closer to achieving my short, medium and long term goals. Starting the day by reviewing or rewriting my goals means that I have better awareness of them throughout the day. As Robin Sharma says:
With better awareness you can make better choices and when you make better choices, you will see better results.

5. Visualise the Day Ahead: I like to take a few minutes to shut my eyes and visualise what I want happen in the coming day. It's amazing how often my desires become reality when I do this.
6. 写一个"To Do" 清单：我喜欢在我的记事簿里列出一天需要去做的重要任务。每完成一件事就划掉它，这种方法简单高效。
6. Write a "To Do"list: I like to write out a list in my diary of the important tasks I need to do that day. As they are completed I put a line through them. So simple, yet so effective.
7.了解新闻提要 ：我认为了解那些正在发生在我们的社区和社交圈里的事情很重要。然而，如果了解不到主要详情，我发现很容易遗漏一天的交往。
7. Check the News Headlines: I think it's important to have an idea of what is happening in our community and the world. Also if don't at least check the main stories, I find it is easy to feel left out of conversations throughout the day.

The habit of putting first things first is about organising and executing your life around your deepest priorities.
12. 亲近自然：我觉得花时间在户外可以给我带来不寻常的幸福感。

14. 健康快餐好：我用水果、蔬菜（胡萝卜和芹菜等）和坚果替代炸马铃薯条、糖果和巧克力。
14. Snack Well: I substitute the chips, candy and chocolate with fruit, vegetables (carrots and celery are great to chomp on) and nuts.
