忙乱的早晨

Leo often leaves home in a hurry. One morning, he cannot find his keys. The next day, his phone has no power. He decides to try a short evening routine, but he does not want another long list of jobs.

里奥经常匆忙出门。一天早上,他找不到钥匙。第二天,他的手机没电了。他决定试试一个简短的晚间习惯,但不想再增加一长串任务。

十分钟的准备

After dinner, Leo sets a timer for ten minutes. He puts his keys in a bowl, charges his phone, and checks tomorrow's weather. Then he chooses clothes and places his bag by the door. When the timer rings, he stops.

晚饭后,里奥设了十分钟计时器。他把钥匙放进碗里,给手机充电,查看明天的天气。然后,他选好衣服,把包放在门边。计时器响时,他就停下来。

不追求全做好

On Thursday, the kitchen is still messy when time is up. Leo feels uncomfortable, but he remembers his purpose. This is preparation for tomorrow, not a plan to clean the whole house. He leaves the dishes until later.

星期四,时间到了,厨房仍然很乱。里奥觉得不自在,但他记起了自己的目的。这是为明天做准备,不是打扫整间屋子的计划。他把餐具留到稍后再洗。

容易一点就好

After a week, mornings are not perfect. A bus can still arrive late. However, Leo spends less time looking for things. Ten quiet minutes do not control the world; they simply make his own start a little easier.

一周后,早晨并没有变得完美。公交车仍可能迟到。不过,里奥找东西花的时间更少了。十分钟的安静准备不能控制世界,只是让他自己的开始稍微轻松一点。
