How did Churchill achieve so much? One key to his success was his strictly observed daily schedule.
Churchill is not a particularly early riser, he is a night owl. Around 8 o'clock, he takes off his sleeping mask to the smell of breakfast. On his bed places a tray（托盘）to his own design, with a cutout for his round belly that allows him to have breakfast and work at the same time.
Churchill usually begins the mornings with a full English breakfast, often accompanied by meat from the previous night, and sometimes a glass of wine. As he picks through his tray of food, he peruses the morning newspapers. Sometimes he rises, walking to his beloved Clementine in her separate bedroom, to discuss a startling development. From his battle station he dictates（口述）letters, sips from a glass filled with water and some whisky, and reads until late morning. Then he bathes, dresses and begins his day. Lunch is followed by a walk round the gardens and ponds, cards with family and friends then followed by a nap. His nap is exactly an hour long. It allows him, he says, to get more hours out of every twenty-four.
Churchill's daily schedule reveals important principles for success: he knows how to get things done. He is one of the most productive men who ever lived. To achieve productively, he always follows two principles. The first he learnt from Napoleon: strength of force in the most important places. The second is economy of effort（节约能量）.
Economy of effort is one of Churchill's excellent characteristics（特征）. His daily work in bed saves energy for later, when he will often dictate from a stand-up desk. When travelling he is even more economical. Never stand when you can sit down, he will advise a visitor. "Never sit down when you can lie down, and never to miss an opportunity to visit a washroom, as there is no knowing when the next chance will appear."

▅ "Completely overrated (评价过高)." We saw very good comments of this restaurant, but I think the service was terrible. We waited for 30 minutes before anyone even noticed us. We ordered noodles, but they were overcooked. I was angry here! ☆☆☆☆★Frank |
▅ "Visited twice in three days!" We had lovely food there for the first time. The fish was very fresh and it had delicious salad. The second time we went there, the waiters were friendly but left us alone for two hours！But it is near my home and easy to get to. ☆☆★★★Eric |
▅ "A nice place to meet friends." This is a good restaurant and it also serves us well, though it's a little expensive. I usually go there just for a drink. It is a place to have a drink, but it might be better to eat somewhere else. ☆★★★★Olivia |
