以下的五个改变，能让你获得比以往更多的生产力。

John Lee Dumas曾作为EOFire播客网站的主持人采访了1500余位杰出的创业家，并已整编出两本以实践为基础的关于提高生产力的书籍，一本是《自由手记》，告诉你如何在一百天内达成一个目标，另一本是《主宰手记》，一步一步指导你如何在这一百天内将生产力最大化，有条不紊。
 
I asked JLD to share his top five tips, tricks and habits for being your most productive self each and every day.
以下是JLD告诉我的五条核心建议，让你每日都是最高效的自己。
 
1. Plan Ahead
1.提前计划
 
"I like to call this 'Win Tomorrow Today'," Dumas says, "All it takes it setting aside five minutes every evening before you end your work to establish the ONE goal you will accomplish tomorrow."
“我喜欢称这条为‘明天赢在今日’,”Dumas说，“你需要做的仅仅是头天晚上工作结束前抽出五分钟来建立明天要完成的一个目标。”
 
Sometimes, the hardest part of getting things done is deciding which thing to work on first. If this decision making has to happen first thing in the morning, it can create a roadblock to progress, which is no way to start your day.
有时，最难的部分是决定要做的事项孰重孰轻。所以如果把计划工作放在早上一切工作开始前来做，那么可能会滞后工作进程，以这个方式开始新的一天肯定是不行的。
 
"By giving yourself a head start the night before, you're allowing your most productive work hours--in the morning--to be leveraged to the fullest by not having to wonder about or choose what you'll work on first."
“通过头一个晚上的准备，得到的保证是第二天效率最高的时间段---早晨---可以被充分利用，因为不用去想先做什么后做什么。”
 
2. Fine-Tune Your Morning Routine
2.晨间工作做做好
 
"Having a morning routine is one of the best things I've done for myself," Dumas says. "It not only helps me set my day up for success by gaining powerful momentum first thing in the morning, but it also allows me to guarantee that I'm going to get a set number of things done right away. This way, no matter what my day brings, I've already accomplished a number of things that are most important to my health and nutrition."
“晨间安排是我做过的对自己最有裨益的事情，”Dumas说，“这不仅能让我通过获得足够的动力给一天开个好头，而且可以保证不耽误我滞后要做的一系列事情。这样，不管我的一天如何安排，我都完成了一系列有助于我身体健康的大事。” 
 
Dumas says his morning routine includes a workout, hydration, meditation, and ensuring he gets the nutrients he needs to perform at a high level all day.
Dumas说他的晨间安排包括锻炼，补水，冥想以及保证充足的营养获得，以保证高质量的一天。
 
"It's a huge plus to use your "Win Tomorrow Today" mentality to set your morning routine the night before so you know exactly what to do when you wake up in the morning," he says.
“在计划晨间安排时用上‘明天赢在今日’的精神是极好的，头天晚上你就能准确知道第二天早上几点起床，起来后要做什么。”
 
3. Break Work Into Sessions
3.把工作分次完成
 
One of the common mistakes people make is to focus entirely on whatever task is next on their list and promise not to move or pause until it's done.
人们普遍容易犯的一个错误是完全集中于清单上的下一个任务，并且保证不到做完就不会停下来或者做别的事。
 
"Tasks will expand to the time allotted," Dumas cautions. Instead, he advises taking inspiration from the Pomodoro technique and setting up timed periods for both focused work and breaks.
“任务很可能不能在规定时间里做完,”Dumas警告说。相反,他建议可以从波摩多洛技巧中汲取灵感,为工作和休息设定周期,到什么时间做什么事.
 
"Establishing sessions where you have a set amount of Focus Time followed by a set amount of Refresh Time helps you avoid distractions and make massive progress on the tasks and projects you're working on," Dumas says.
“建立分阶段保证专注时间和小憩时间交叉安排可以使你避免分心,并且在完成任务和事项时更加高效.”Dumas说.
 
4. Make Time For 10-Day Recaps
4.安排‘十日焕新’时间
 
Being extremely future-focused and ambitious is great, but if you're always moving from one task to another, you could be missing out on a big growth opportunity.
完全专注于未来，一直野心勃勃是个好事，但是如果你永远周转于一个又一个的任务中，可能会使你错过巨大的成长机遇。
 
"In order to learn what's working and what's not working, you need to allow reflection time," Dumas says. He recommends setting aside some time at least every 10 days to reflect on the good, the bad, and everything in between.
“为了了解什么是运作正常的，什么又是出了问题的，安排时间给反省回顾是你需要的，”Dumas说。他建议至少每十天抽出特定时间来回顾工作中的佳绩和坏事，以及中性事件。
 
"When you can identify what's working, you'll know what to double down on," Dumas says. "You'll also be able to identify the things that are holding you back from getting where you want to go, and to brainstorm solutions for those struggles in order to eliminate them in the future."
“当你发现了自己做得好的地方时，你就明白了之后加倍努力的方向。”Dumas说“同实际也可以鉴别出你的阻碍在哪里，并且头脑风暴出解决这些疑难的办法，并且在未来的道路上将其消除。”
 
5. Gratitude
5.懂得感恩
 
If you really want to get more done, you have to stop focusing on what you can't do, and start focusing on everything that's going right. 
如果你真的想更加有效率的话，就不能继续盯着自己不能做的事情不放，而是应该去注意那些你能胜任的事情。
 
"Practicing gratitude will not only increase your happiness factor, it will also increase your productivity," Dumas says. "When you have a positive attitude and take time out to recognize everything you have to be grateful for, you're able to focus on the many things you have accomplished, versus focusing on things you haven't accomplished, and therefore, you're more likely to gain momentum and get more done."
“履行感恩的原则不仅能提高你的幸福指数，而且能提高你的生产力，”Dumas说。“当你积极向上地花时间去寻找让你感恩的事情时，你便可以关注到那些你成功完成的事情，而不是注重自己失败的案例。怀着这样的心态，你会更有可能取得进步，做好更多的事情。
