Building momentum
积蓄正面能量
Accomplishing things in the morning sets off a "cascade of success," says Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage, and a "night owl" who "consciously changed my morning habits so I could get up earlier." He now starts his days by writing down three things he's grateful for, exercising, and sending a quick email to reconnect with a family member or friend. He says he enjoys all these activities, and finds that "if you're thinking about things you're looking forward to, that makes it easy to get out of bed." Then, "once your brain records a victory, it's more likely to take the next step and the next step." If your first major victory comes at 10 p.m. but your boss expects you to be at an 8 a.m. meeting, there's just not much time for getting things done.
肖恩•阿克尔认为，在早上完成一些事情，能够带来“一连串的成功”。肖恩•阿克尔著有《快乐的优势》一书，他自己之前也属于“夜猫子”型，后来有意识地让自己养成了早起的习惯。现在，他每天睁开眼第一件事，是写下让他心存感激的三件事，然后锻炼身体，再写一封简短的电子邮件，与家人或朋友联络感情。他说自己非常喜欢早上做这些事，并且发现“如果你心里有所期待，那么从床上爬起来就不是什么难事。”然后，“在大脑记录下一件成功完成的事情之后，很自然地，你会继续做下一步，并一直进行下去。”但如果你在头天晚上10点才完成一天中第一件重要的事情，而老板却要求你参加第二天早上8点的会议，那么很显然，已经没有足够的时间去完成其他事情了。
