2 坚持每天吃早餐。早餐是一天当中非常重要的一餐，但往往被很多人所忽略。对我个人来说，我早上喜欢吃两个烤面包外加一瓶果汁。

3 每天睡足八小时。牺牲睡眠并非好计策。也许你曾认为为赶时间牺牲点睡眠不算什么，但实际上睡眠不足令你精神紧张并且疲乏无力。对大多数人来说八个小时是已经足够了的，不过要是午饭后能有二十多分钟时间来打个盹，那就更好啦。

忌以零食充饥

Eat fish. Fish is rich of omega 3 and other healthy elements. At least one meal per week of fish should be enough for getting all these nutrients.
6 多吃鱼。鱼类食品富含欧美加 3（为一组多元不饱和脂肪酸，对人体健康十分有益。 译者注）和很多其他人体健康所需的元素。每周至少吃一次鱼能够为人体提供所需的这些营养。

起床后饮一杯水

Drink one glass of water when you wake up. When you wake up, your body is dehydrated and needs liquid. Make the habit of drinking one glass of water after you wake up in the morning. Also, drink more during the day.
7 起床后饮一杯水。当你醒来后，身体处于缺水状态，这时应该补充水分。养成每天起床后饮一杯水的习惯。当然，白天里还要喝更多。

多爬楼梯

If you smoke, stop it. There’s no reason to smoke anymore, and quitting is easy.
10 要是你吸烟，赶紧戒吧。没有任何理由说吸烟有益健康，相信自己，戒掉是很容易的。

If you drink, stop it. Same as above. Don’t think that alcohol will solve your problems. It never does. The only exception is one glass of wine per day during meals.
11 要是你酗酒，那也赶紧戒吧。就如上面所说。指望酒精能解决问题，做梦吧!吃饭时候来一杯，那无所谓啦。

13 多使用邮箱记事。多记录你想过的点子或者事情，可以用个本子来做记录，然后很快的将它们输入你电脑。

Prioritize. If you have a list of things to do, where do you start? One way is to prioritize your list. If you are in doubt, ask yourself: “If I could only accomplish one thing today, what would it be?”
14 将事情按轻重缓急加以分类。要是你有好些事要做，那你从哪里开始呢？一种方法是按级分类，逐个完成。要是你拿不准，那就问自己：“要是我今天只能完成一件事，那该是哪件呢？”

Plan, but not too much. Planning is important, and you should decide in advance what you are going to do today or this week. However, planning for more than a few weeks is usually inefficient, so I would not worry too much about that.

17 每天只看Email两次。Email很容易让人上瘾，但是要是每十分钟就检查一次，那也太不划算了。尝试一下每天只看一次或者两次邮箱吧，看看这个世界是否依然一样转呢？
