How can you get out the door faster? Here are a few easy adjustments that will significantly shorten your morning routine:
怎样才能更快地出门呢？下面会为大家介绍一些简单易行的调整方法，大大缩减清晨行程。

The Night Before
前一天晚上

1. Write the next day's to-do list.
1. 写下第二天的待办事项。

By planning out the following day, you can go to sleep with less on your mind and wake up on the right track.
为第二天做好计划，睡觉的时候可以精神负担少一点，也可以正常起床。

2. Pack your bag.
2. 整理好自己的包

Don't spend the next morning scrambling to make sure you've got everything for work.
千万不要第二天整个早上慌张忙乱的准备上班要用的东西。

3. Make lunch.
3. 做好午餐。

Preparing lunch the night before for yourself or your kids frees up your time. It's also good for your wallet, since going out for lunch every day costs you about $1,000 each year.
前一天的晚上要准备好自己或孩子的午餐，这样可以节省自己很多的时间。还可以省点钱，因为每天出去吃午餐，一年下来你就要花费大约1000美元。

4. Check the next day's forecast.
4. 查好第二天的天气状况。

Knowing the weather will help you prepare your clothes, as well as plan your commute. For example, if there's going to be a snow or rain storm the next morning, you should probably get out the door sooner than usual.
清楚天气状况有助于准备衣物，而且也可以提前准备好出行计划。例如，如果第二天早上是雨雪天气，你就会比平时提前出门。

5. Pick your outfit.
5. 选好衣服。

You can cut down a significant amount of preparing for the day if you wake up knowing what you're going to wear.
如果每天早上醒来的时候，你都知道自己要穿什么，就会省下一天很多的准备时间。

6. Get to bed at the same time every night.
6.每晚按时上床睡觉。

By getting into a strict sleep schedule, you'll wake up feeling more refreshed and focused. Studies have shown that "better sleep is better than more sleep."
通过严格的睡眠安排，你会醒来的时候精神恢复的更好，注意力更加集中。已经有研究表明：“睡眠质量要比睡眠数量更重要。”

In The Morning
第二天早上

7. Lay off the "snooze" button.
7. 关掉“贪睡”按钮。

Any time you hit snooze and drift off, you're restarting your brain's sleep cycle, which will make you feel even groggier when you finally roll out of bed. If you consistently wake up tired, you may need to go to bed earlier.
每次你按下闹钟的贪睡键，都是在重启大脑的睡眠循环。这样只会让你在最终醒来的时候更加头昏脑涨。如果总是醒过来的时候很累，那么你就要早一点睡觉了。
