4 Smart Tips for Making the Most of Your Mornings

Write down your top priorities

写下你的首要任务

“I’ve taken on the Microstep of focusing on my top three priorities every morning as I start my day. What I’ve found is that by being able to narrow my field of vision to those top three priorities, it’s helped me feel more calm throughout the day, and prevents me from becoming overwhelmed with a long to-do list.”

“我每天早上开始一天的工作时，都会把注意力集中在最重要的三件事情上。我发现，把视野缩小到最重要的三件事情上可以让我更加平静，并防止我对着一长串的待办事项不知所措。”

—Marjorie Mays, Levi’s
