領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力內(nèi)幕網(wǎng)絡(luò)是美國的一個在線社區(qū),美國商界最睿智和最有影響力的一些大咖會在這里及時回答與職業(yè)和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力有關(guān)的問題。今天為大家分享的是百老匯舞臺(Broadway Stages)總裁兼CEO吉娜?阿爾真托在“你每天早上上班前都干什么?”這一問題下的回答。 找到適合自己的“晨間流程”對于保持一天的能量、健康和精力十分重要。我認為,保持一套固定的“晨間流程”,能夠使你成為一個生活井井有條的人,并且提高你的整體效率。 我的“晨間流程”能夠讓我更好地了解我的身體和心理狀態(tài)。如果我起床時有個良好的心態(tài)和清醒的頭腦,我就會對即將到來的一天充滿期待。如果某一天我起晚了,或是沒有遵守我平常的“晨間流程”,這一天就會變得一團糟。 在工作日的早晨,我一般五點半就起床了(周末我會允許自己睡個懶覺)。首先我要去一趟健身房。在我看來,通過鍛煉開啟一天的生活是非常重要的,因為它能讓我迅速恢復(fù)活力,并且緩解壓力。運動也有助于真正地將我從睡眠中“喚醒”,為一天的工作提供額外的動力。這也算是早晨健身的另一個好處。 從健身房回家后,我會迅速地洗個澡。然后我要去孩子們的房間看看,確保他們已經(jīng)起床了,并且做好了上學(xué)的準(zhǔn)備。不過我的經(jīng)驗告訴我,你永遠不要指望孩子們能自己起床,所以叫他們起床已經(jīng)成為了我的“晨間流程”不可缺少的一部分。然后我要為他們準(zhǔn)備早餐和在學(xué)校吃的午飯。大約7點45分左右,等我的孩子們出了門,我就可以把上班前的最后一點時間留給自己了。 查看電子郵件是我每天早上必做的一件重要工作,我得看看昨晚在我睡覺的時候是否發(fā)生了需要我緊急處理的事情。因為我運營著一家很大的企業(yè),很多人的生計指望著我,在他們需要我的時候,我必須做出反應(yīng)。另外,我也不喜歡在沒查看郵件的情況下去公司,免得被一些意外的事情打個措手不及。 在收發(fā)郵件的同時,我會花上半個小時吃早餐。一頓豐盛健康的早餐是有很多益處的,它能讓你在單位和在家里表現(xiàn)得更好,能提高你的能量水平,還能提高你的體力和耐力。只有全天都保持較好的耐力,你才能更有效率地開展工作。這一點對我來說尤為重要,因為我每天都要開很多會,還要參與好幾個不同的項目,很少有坐在辦公桌前休息的時間。 除了那頓飯本身,我之所以喜歡吃早餐,還因為它給我提供了一段寶貴的吃喝、休息和看早間新聞的時間。等我到了公司,我的時間就基本上都用來工作了。 在我出門之前,我還要最后回顧一下今天的工作待辦清單——這張單子是我前一天晚上就寫好了的,然后我會根據(jù)收發(fā)的電子郵件的情況,在單子上再添上幾筆。我發(fā)現(xiàn)只要我像這樣有條理地做事,設(shè)置每天的目標(biāo),我的效率就會明顯提高。一旦我把今天的目標(biāo)制定好了,把所有早間的任務(wù)都做完了,我的“晨間流程”就正式結(jié)束了,而我也就可以出門了。(財富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:樸成奎 |
The Leadership Insiders network is an online community where the most thoughtful and influential people in business contribute answers to timely questions about careers and leadership. Today’s answer to the question, “What's your morning routine before going to work?” is written by Gina Argento, president and CEO of Broadway Stages. Finding your morning routine is essential for generating energy, health, and focus. I believe that having a consistent routine allows you to stay organized and achieve overall productivity. I do my routine to become better aware of the state of my mind and body. When I start my day with a fresh attitude and clear head, I’ll have a positive outlook for the day ahead. If I wake up late or don’t follow my usual schedule, my entire day becomes a mess. I begin my weekday morning routine at 5:30 a.m. (but I allow myself to sleep in on weekends). My first step is getting ready for the gym. It’s so important to begin my day with physical activity so I can rejuvenate and alleviate stress. It also helps to wake me up in the mornings and give me that extra push I need to get started. Exercising helps reduce stress when I get to work too, so I look at it as an added bonus. When I get home from the gym, I quickly jump in the shower. Then I immediately check on my kids to make sure they’re awake and getting ready for school. I’ve learned from past experience to never assume they’re waking themselves up, so this has now become part of my morning routine. I then prepare their breakfast and school lunch. Around 7:45 a.m., when my kids are off to school, I can focus on myself and finish up with my pre-work morning. A crucial part of my morning is checking my email for any pressing matters that may have happened while I was asleep. Because I run a large business, I have many people that depend on me and I need to be available for them. Additionally, I don’t like to come to work without checking my email, so I’m not blindsided by surprises. Once I’ve mulled through my emails, I give myself a half hour for breakfast. Eating a filling and healthy breakfast has many benefits: It helps improve your performance at work and home, boosts your energy levels, and increases strength and endurance. Sustaining endurance throughout the day allows you to work more effectively and increases your productivity. This is particularly important to me, since I’m always running around from meeting to meeting and getting involved with multiple projects. You’ll rarely see me at my desk. I enjoy breakfast beyond the meal itself. It also provides me valuable time to eat, relax, and catch up on the morning’s news. I’ll have plenty of time to exert myself when I get to the office. Before I leave to work, I finish my routine by reviewing my to-do list for the day—which I write the night before—and checking my email to make any additions to the list. I have found that being organized and setting goals for each day helps increase my productivity. As soon as my goals are in place and I have finished all my pre-work to-dos, my morning routine has officially been completed and I can head out the door. |
