10招教你像成功人士一样做个早起鸟

Getting up early requires motivation, at least initially. Give yourself a good reason to do it. This could be anything from getting tasks done to having something to look forward to. I personally recommend a combination of both. Get up because you need to get stuff done, but make sure you also give yourself a little motivational rewards, whether it be allotted time for a TV show, or a nice brisk walk.
早起需要动机，至少最初是这样。给自己一个早起的理由。它可以是完成任务、有所企盼或者其他什么。我个人推荐两者的结合。早起，因为有事要做，但一定还要给自己来点激励性奖赏，要么给自己留点时间欣赏电视节目，要么轻松地走一走。

7. Turn Your Reason into a Challenge
把理由变成挑战

Now that you have a reason to be up, make it a challenge! Don’t let yourself fall into a rut or break the routine. Tell yourself that you can and will get up early to complete these tasks and that you’re capable of turning this into a habit. The only person that can truly hold you back is yourself.
既然有了早起的理由，那就让它成为一种挑战！不要让自己重蹈覆辙或朝三暮四。告诉自己，你可以而且会早起来完成这些任务，你有能力养成早起的习惯。真正拖你后腿的人是只有你自己。

For those of you with a competitive streak, try using Wake N Shake. It’s an app that makes you and your friends compete and earn achievements for getting your butts out of bed and doing stuff.
对于那些争强好胜的人，可以尝试‘烦人闹钟’。它是一款应用程序，你和你的朋友比谁起得早、做事快，并因此有所收获。

8. Start Working Out
开始锻炼

Exercise is a fantastic tool for waking up early, firstly because a good workout in the afternoon or evening will leave your body rested and in need of an early sleep. Secondly, working out early in the morning will make you feel energized and ready to conquer the rest of the day. These two ideas may seem to negate each other, but I can assure you that they’ll work in both circumstances.
锻炼为早起提供极好的助力，第一，因为下午或晚上适当的锻炼保持你精力旺盛，而且令你有有早睡的需要。第二，早晨锻炼不仅保持你在早晨精神百倍，而且还会精神一整天。这两种说法似乎互相矛盾，但是，我可以向你保证，它们都奏效。

9. Make Sure Your Alarm Clock is Out of Reach
把闹钟放在够不到的地方

The oldest trick in the book is sometimes the most effective. Force yourself to get out of bed by putting that pesky alarm clock out across the other side of the room. For added incentive, I recommend downloading a humiliation app such as BetterMe that will post on your Facebook wall that you were ‘too weak to get out of bed’ if you hit snooze. Not embarrassing enough? Go for Aherk. This app will post embarrassing photos of you to all of your social media accounts if you don’t reach your goals. Sure, self blackmail may seem easy enough to dodge, but once you have it set up you can’t get out of it.
书上最古老的技巧有时也是最有效的。把烦人的闹钟放在房间的另一头，强迫自己起床。说起另外的刺激，我推荐下载一款羞辱应用程序，例如：‘Betterme’，如果你按掉闹钟，它会将你作为‘弱得起不床’的典型发布在你的Facebook墙上。不够难为情吗?还有一款‘Aherk’,如果你没有达到目标，它会将你令人尴尬的照片发布在你所有的社交媒体帐户上。当然，自我敲诈似乎太容易躲避，但是，一旦这样做了，你就不可能摆脱它了。

10.Go to Bed Calm and Relaxed
安心地、放松地上床睡觉

Going to bed wound up and stressed will only serve to keep you awake, regardless of how tired you are. Try to go to bed calm and relaxed. If you need a little help in this area, I would recommend yoga, meditation or even a simple relaxing tea such as chamomile.
不论兴奋还是紧张，都会使你难以入睡。努力安心地、放松地上床。在这方面，如果你需要小建议，那我推荐瑜珈、冥想，抑或一杯令人放松的甘菊茶。

11. Have an Exciting Breakfast Planned
预先计划好一顿令人垂涎的早餐

When all else fails, food is the answer. Seriously, I’m far more motivated to get my tired ass out of bed if I know I have something delicious to eat for breakfast. Now, just because I say ‘delicious’ and ‘exciting’ doesn’t mean it has to be complicated. Personally, I can get excited over a smoothie and juice made from fresh fruit, but then I’m a freak who has her own blueberry bushes. If drinking your breakfast isn’t your style, a simple bacon and eggs or some crunchy muesli can do the trick. Just make sure it’s something that you’ll look forward to, that way you’ll be more likely to get up for it.
所以努力都泡汤时，食物可做杀手锏。真的，如果知道美味的早餐在等我，我会急不可待地钻出被窝。我说的‘美味’、‘令人垂涎’并不意味着早餐有多丰盛。就我个人观点，一杯鲜果汁奶昔足矣，不过，我是个拥有自己蓝莓园的怪人。如果喝东西作早餐不合你的口味，熏肉鸡蛋或什锦早餐应该可以了吧。只要是你期待的东西就可以，这样，你更可能为它而早起。
