In years past, you couldn't talk to me before 10:00 in the morning, much less expect me to get anything useful done. And the weekends? Forget it. If the time had "a.m." attached to the end of it, you'd better believe I was face-down in a pillow. Nowadays, however, despite my best efforts I cannot sleep past 8. I'm mentally forming my to-do list before I even open my eyes. I find that my best writing is done within the first few hours after I wake up, and my go-getter mentality has dimmed into a quieter energy come late afternoon. 过去，在上午10点之前你根本就不可能和我说上话，更不可能希望我完成什么有意义的事。周末？算了吧。如果时间安排后面标注着“上午”，你最好相信我正抱头大睡。但是，现在呢，一过早晨8点钟我就怎么也睡不着了。甚至在睁眼之前，我就已经开始在大脑中列数今天要做的事项清单了。我发现我最好的文章都是在刚醒来的最初几个小时内写就的，而傍晚时分我的勤奋精进会化作一种更为安静的能量。 So what's my secret? 那么，我的秘诀是什么呢？ |
