I Use Every Second Before I Go to Work
➊ I wake up at 6 a.m. everyday. The first thing I do when I wake up is grab my smartphone and take it to the bathroom with me, where I start my day by consuming quite a lot of information. I go to some websites, but the main site that I focus on during this time is Nuzzel, a collector of headlines and links. I recommend everyone look into it if they feel they don't have time to properly focus on every website individually.
❷ After visiting those sites, I head to Twitter, my No.1 outlet for communication with the public. Twitter is becoming a listening platform. There is such a volume of information on the platform that you need pay attention to. So I spend a great amount of my morning responding to people and starting conversations.
❸ After all this comes my workout (锻炼) with my trainer. I usually work out for about 45 minutes. The specific workout routine varies depending on the day of the week, what I ate, and how much I've been traveling.
❹ After the workout, I head back home to get my children ready for school. I say bye to them and give them each a kiss before they leave. Then, I'm off to my office, often before 9 a.m.
❺ In the car to my office, I call my mom, dad or sister. I talk to them just to learn what they're up to. I really value those small moments. By the time I step into my office, so much is going through my head. My day starts the minute I open my eyes.

【文章大意】我利用上班前的每一秒
➊ 我每天早上6点起床。我醒来的第一件事就是拿起我的智能手机，带着它去洗手间，在那里我以大量的信息开始我的一天。我访问了一些网站，但这段时间我关注的主要网站是Nuzzel，一个收集标题和链接的网站。我建议每个人都去看看，如果他们觉得自己没有时间单独关注每个网站的话。
❷ 浏览完这些网站后，我会去推特，这是我与公众沟通的第一个渠道。Twitter正在成为一个倾听的平台。平台上有这么多的信息，你需要注意。所以我早上花了很多时间回复别人，开始交谈。
❸ 在这一切之后，我和我的教练一起锻炼。我通常锻炼45分钟左右。具体的锻炼计划取决于一周中的哪一天，我吃了什么，以及我旅行了多长时间。
❹ 锻炼完后，我回家让孩子们准备上学。我对他们说再见，在他们离开之前给他们每个人一个吻。然后，我去我的办公室，通常在上午9点之前。
❺ 在去办公室的车里，我打电话给我的妈妈、爸爸或妹妹。我和他们交谈只是为了了解他们在做什么。我真的很珍惜那些小小的时刻。当我走进办公室的时候，我脑子里想的太多了。我的一天从睁开眼睛的那一刻开始。
