最近(さいきん)(あさ)習慣(しゅうかん)

My Recent Morning Routine

最近(さいきん)、私は(あさ)時間(じかん)大切(たいせつ)にしようと決めた(きめた)以前(いぜん)はぎりぎりまで寝ていて(ねていて)慌ただしく(あわただしく)(いえ)を出ることが多かった(おおかった)。しかし、それでは一日中(いちにちじゅう)なんとなく疲れた(つかれた)気分(きぶん)続いて(つづいて)しまう。そこで、先月(せんげつ)から少しだけ早起き(はやおき)をして、コーヒーを飲みながら(ほん)読む(よむ)ことにしたのだ。

(あさ)の静かな時間は、頭がとてもすっきりしている。好きな音楽を聴きながら、ゆっくりとコーヒーを淹れる時間は、私にとって最高のリラックス方法だ。たった十五分だけのことだが、この習慣(しゅうかん)のおかげで仕事の効率も上がったような気がする。忙しい毎日だからこそ、自分のための時間(じかん)を意識的に作ることが大切(たいせつ)だと感じている(かんじている)

Translation

Recently, I decided to cherish my morning time. Before, I used to sleep until the last possible minute and often left the house in a rush. However, that left me feeling somewhat tired all day long. So, starting last month, I began waking up a little earlier to read a book while drinking coffee. The quiet morning time makes my head feel very clear. The time spent slowly brewing coffee while listening to my favorite music is the best way for me to relax. It is only fifteen minutes, but thanks to this habit, I feel like my work efficiency has improved. I feel that it is important to consciously make time for myself precisely because our daily lives are so busy.
