1 . How to Create a Personalized Daily Routine
Figuring out how to create a daily routine (常规) that works for you — and how to stick to it — can take some time. Here are a few steps to help you make a daily routine for yourself, even if you’ve never had one.
●Make a list
Figuring out how to write a daily routine begins by writing down everything you need to get done daily, both at home and at work.
●
The point of creating a daily routine is to use your most productive (富有成效的) hours for challenging tasks and your least productive hours for the simpler tasks.
●Test drive your new routine
Once you’ve created your daily routine, take it for a test drive. Did you schedule your tasks at times that make sense? Stick to the routine for at least 30 days.
| A．Be open to flexibility (灵活性) |
| B．Keep the structure every day |
| C．Change any scheduling that isn’t working |
| D．Don’t worry about how you organize this list |
| E．Creating a daily routine may seem like a difficult task at first |
| F．You also need to create a reasonable routine you can stick to |
| G．But life can get in the way of even the most detailed routines |
2 . The majority of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned after three months. It is human nature to pursue the path of least resistance, especially when you are tired. If you do not intentionally and consistently develop healthy habits, you will automatically fall for unhealthy ones. Obtaining the benefit of healthy habits requires some willpower, which is the ability to resist short-term temptations for long-term benefits. However, willpower is not enough.
Say goodbye to perfection. We often have a hard time sticking with new habits because we set unrealistic expectations. As high-achievers, we expect a workout to last an entire hour and include a set of workouts.
Increase your support system. Establishing a new behavior is easier when loved ones are supporting you. Having a support system can help you stay the course even when you are lower on willpo wer because others can remind you of the progress you have made. It is also harder to be lazy when someone is watching.
Keep it light. It is hard to stick with a new habit if it is too painful. As an example, many people struggle to keep up with an exercise program because it requires great effort and energy. The idea of showing up day after day for more muscle soreness can be discouraging. Try to keep your new habit light.
Give yourself some grace.
| A．Building a new habit can take months. |
| B．You also need systems to help healthy habits stick. |
| C．Anything less does not count as exercise in our minds. |
| D．Healthy habits can serve as an anchor to navigate life’s challenges. |
| E．Instead of focusing on results, focus on enjoying the new behavior. |
| F．We deeply care about what others think of us and don’t want to let them down. |
| G．It is the consistent practice of healthy habits over time that leads to positive results. |
3 . Why You Should Schedule Some “Me Time” Every Day
Most people in our culture feel the need to be going all the time.
So, the biggest reason to take a little time out for yourself is to avoid these negative consequences of not doing so. More than that, “me” time can make you a better person both inside and out. Specifically, taking some “me” time can help you avoid bad mood and enable you to control your emotions. If you live with someone, like a spouse(配偶), children, or even a pet, they may not understand your need to take “me” time but they certainly will appreciate the way your mood has improved. Contrary to this, the lack of time to yourself can cause you to build up anger.
It might seem easy to schedule a little “me” time, but often it isn’t. So you must give yourself permission to take at least a half hour per day, even if it’s divided, just for yourself. If you have to, set the alarm, schedule it on the calendar, or put it on your “to-do” list for the day.
Taking a little time for yourself refreshes and re-energizes you.
| A．We believe we are wasting time |
| B．You may need time to make preparations |
| C．That can harm both you and your relationships |
| D．Whatever you have to do, make it happen every day |
| E．But you should try to do something meaningful and valuable |
| F．It allows you to think more clearly and make better decisions |
| G．But be careful that you use your “me” time for leisurely activities |

9 . How to Teach Time Management Skills to Teens
Teens usually have fairly structured schedules. Their school day and their after-school activities are planned out for them. As a result, many of them don’t learn how to manage their time wisely when they have some downtime.
Advise your teen to write down his schedule. Your teen’s time may easily get taken up with video games or social media if he’s not careful. Teach him to schedule his day so he can set aside time for chores (琐事), homework, and other responsibilities.
Help him to set goals.
Help your teen prioritize activities. It’s common for teens to have conflicts in their schedules. A basketball game, birthday party, and church activity may all coincide (同时发生).
Set limits on electronics. Your teen may waste countless hours on social media or playing video games if she’s not careful. Establish rules that help her create healthy habits with her cellphone and other digital devices.
| A．Model good time management habits |
| B．Give your teen time management tools |
| C．Practise managing your own time wisely |
| D．Encourage him to schedule free time as well |
| E．Talk to your teen about how to prioritize activities |
| F．Here are some steps you can take to teach your teen |
