"Structure is what leads to success, not waking up before the sun rises," author Craig Ballantyne told to Forbes' contributor Garrett Gunderson.

“通往成功的指引是條理性，而不是在日出前起床。”作家Craig Ballantyne告訴福布斯網站的文章貢獻者Garrett Gunderson如是說。

Ballantyne makes his livelihood on the "early to rise" theory yet acknowledges that not all of us are the type to meditate, run 14 miles and find inbox zero before 7 a.m. Rather, you can prep for productivity the previous night with this 10-minute trick.

Ballantyne遵循“早起”的生活法則，不過他也意識到并非人人都是那種冥想——跑步——清晨清空收件箱的人。反之，你可以在前一天晚上利用以下這個10分鐘的小技巧就能為第二天保存滿滿的工作動力。

1. Brain dump: At the end of your workday, declutter your racing mind. Write down all of tomorrow's to-dos. Clear your thoughts of all this stress.

1.釋放大腦：一天工作結束后，整理你那一團糟的腦子。把第二天所需要完成的事情全部寫下了。把這些帶來壓力的想法全部清空。

2. To-do list: From your brain dump, select just three important tasks that must be completed tomorrow. Don't overload or overestimate yourself, which re-invites stress.

2. 待辦事項清單：在上面整理出來的事情里，只挑選其中三件必須在第二天完成的事情。不要給自己過多負擔，也不要高估自己的能力，不然就會再次產生壓力。

3. Scribble notes: For the three to-do items, jot down notes. For example, if you need to make a call or publish an article tomorrow, write the topics you'll discuss. These keywords will more easily trigger idea flow the next morning.

3.記筆記：為以上挑選出來的3個待辦事項記下筆記。比如，如果你第二天需要給他人進行電話聯系或者發布一篇文章，那么把你們將會討論的話題寫下來。這些關鍵詞能給第二天的討論激發更多的靈感。
