In addition to making a timetable, it is more important to "prioritize" when arranging time. In the book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey points out that the difference between "important things" and "urgent things" is one of the biggest reasons why people waste time. Because people's inertia is to do the most urgent thing first, but doing so will lead to some important things being abandoned. For example, I think all kinds of learning mentioned in this article are "important", but they are not necessarily required courses assigned by teachers. Students who adopt my suggestions will still ignore important things such as laying a good foundation and learning to be a man because of urgent things such as exams and handing in homework. Therefore, a good way to manage time every day is to determine the urgent and important things to do today in the morning and review them before going to bed to see if the day has achieved a balance between the two.
College students must have self-control, make some good friends, learn some good habits, and don't indulge in entertainment that doesn't help them at all. In my opinion, college students must cherish their precious college time, find their own interests, do something meaningful and satisfying, and lay the foundation for a better life in the future. "
Second, college students to strengthen the significance of time management
As Deng Tuo said, "All successful people in ancient times took their lives very seriously. When they live for a day, they always work, work and study as hard as possible, refusing to waste their time and not letting their time be wasted. " We should regard time as the most beautiful and precious wealth, and invest this wealth in life to enrich and perfect ourselves and realize our self-worth.
Kai-fu Lee once said in "The Fourth Letter": "University is a critical stage of life. This is because this is your last chance to receive a systematic education in your life. This is the last time you devote yourself to building your own knowledge base. This may be the last stage in your life where you can spend a lot of time studying, or it may be the last stage where you can have high plasticity and constantly correct yourself. This may be the last time you learn how to be a man in a relatively tolerant environment. " Therefore, these four years are your most precious four years. On the "My Learning Network", countless students lamented that they had achieved nothing in the past four years. Never let yourself be one of these students in three years.
Third, the main problems and causes of time management analysis
Everyone should manage his time well, because everyone has two hours wasted every day. If you want to manage time well, you must be able to activate those fragmentary time and wasted time and make good use of them. What you can do is to reduce yourself from being disturbed. The key is whether you can give up something important. The so-called busyness is to let more urgent things occupy your time, so you must learn how to collect and reduce those urgent time, so that you can have your own time to do important things, which is very important for time management.
It is shameful to waste time. Making every minute full and meaningful is a manifestation of cherishing time. Only by improving efficiency can time create double value. However, some people go to extremes and always think that cherishing time means spending every minute on work. Because I am afraid of wasting time, I always come and go in a hurry and feel anxious, but the result is often counterproductive. These are all misunderstandings about time. I remind you to cherish time, but don't go into the misunderstanding of time.
(a) Don't leave the plan on paper.
Contrary to people who don't have a plan, such people always have a plan, plan everything, plan big things, and plan small things. His life has not always been planned. I am always used to making every plan very precise and meticulous, for fear of making a mistake. Such people are typical perfectionists who pursue perfection, so they live very tired.
Planning is to make full and effective use of time, but when they plan, they often put too much emphasis on this purpose, and arrange their schedules to be full, without any gaps, and never leave any buffer time to deal with accidents. So once things change, they are often caught off guard.
Generally speaking, they always take planning as the main content of their work, but forget action, thinking that things can be planned well, but they didn't expect that action is the key to achieving their goals. You know, planning takes up too much of their time, so there is little time left for them to act. Success is not easy. .
At this time, you need to calm down, stabilize your mood, and be sure to calm your brain. After objective and calm analysis and judgment, moderate actions can be taken. Only in this way can we ensure both speed and quality.
(2) Do not be anxious, but seek stability.
Impatient people are eager to get things done at once, so they always show impatience and sorrow. Even if it is only a small matter, they are always anxious, for fear that things will not be done well or there is not enough time. For the average person, doing things will be so extreme, but if it is an emergency, many people will be as anxious as the former. Because of the fear of procrastination, I missed a lot of things I should do, and what I should do often just ended in a hurry. Therefore, the result is more haste, less speed, but a waste of time.
People's starting point for saving time is correct, because things are urgent and we should speed up. But because people are too anxious, their emotions suppress their reason. Because the brain is too impatient and nervous, it can't calmly analyze the problem and find a solution to it. It often takes action without considering the whole work plan, so it is always short of money, thinking about this and forgetting that. How can such actions achieve satisfactory results?
Even if the plan has been made in advance, people give up the plan because they are anxious, or don't completely follow the plan, thinking that they can do something right away, but they don't expect to make a mess of the overall situation because they are anxious. At the same time, in concrete actions, we tend to forget things and ignore the East. Do not pay attention to quality, take the task as the goal, and completely ignore the consequences.
There is nothing wrong with a sense of urgency. The key is not to rush for success because of anxiety. Anxiety can make the brain run faster, but too much anxiety will make the brain unable to work normally.
(3) Don't rock the boat, just make a fuss about something.
People call those who have nothing to do but fear that they have nothing to do "nothing to do", which is a very appropriate name. There are such people who are afraid of wasting time and constantly find something for themselves to do. Whether they should do it or not, they always like to pull one thing and count it, just like small and medium-sized vendors in the market.
Idle people are often those who have no clear goals in life. Another feature of them is their impatience. They don't know what to do and what not to do, because they have no clear purpose or goal in life. But compared with those who do nothing, it is still worthy of sympathy. At least he has the consciousness of not wasting time and wasting time. However, you should calm down and set yourself a clear goal in life, so as not to accomplish anything.
For people who are in a hurry, they only know what to do, but they don't know how to do it. What to do first and then what to do. They just mix up what they think they should do like stew, and as a result, things are in a mess and have no clue.
They belong to people who have no plans. Without a good plan, they start to act rashly because they are eager for success. As a result, this disorderly and unplanned action made things worse and worse, and it was too difficult to succeed.
(D) Measures to improve and strengthen college students' time management
If you have more time, you need to arrange, plan and manage your own time. Here are some suggestions on how to manage time:
Don't let emergencies enslave you.
To prioritize things, the "heavy" and "urgent" here are different. It is urgent to prepare for tomorrow's exam, and it is important to cultivate your enthusiasm. People's inertia is to do the most urgent things first, but often important things are given up because of this. Most urgent things are actually not important, and many important things are not urgent. Therefore, don't spend all your time on seemingly "urgent" things, but leave some time to do really "important" things, such as laying a good foundation of knowledge and learning to be a man. One way to manage your time every day is to decide the urgent and important things to do today in the morning and review whether the day has achieved a balance between them before going to bed.
(2) clearly distinguish your own things.
Distinguish between "must do" and "don't do", and be "good enough" and "good enough is not good enough". There are so many "urgent things" and "important things" that it is unrealistic to want to do everything best. "Good enough is not good enough" should be the best, but "good enough is good" should be the best. I suggest you accept what you can't change with a good attitude and mind, and pay more attention to what you can change. Although I advocate "following my own heart", I must do what I want to do well while following my own interests. This is a basic sense of responsibility.
(3) the division of things
Make a long-term blueprint plan and move towards your goals step by step, so that you can see step by step progress and have more motivation and confidence to continue. Time management, goal setting and goal execution are complementary, and time management and goal management are inseparable. The completion of each small goal will let you know clearly how far you are from the big goal. Your daily commitment to action is your pressure and motivation, which must be combined with your long-term goals. Therefore, if you want to work and live in a planned way, you need to manage your time well.
(D) learn to save time
Although there are only 24 hours in a day, as long as you observe carefully and save a little time, you can have more time than others. Television, surfing the Internet and playing games are all things that consume a lot of time and have been integrated into daily life habits. It's hard to quit, so try to shorten it. In the face of temptation, we must persist, and the extra time should be spent on things that can make us make continuous progress. Kai-fu Lee mentioned in his fourth letter to China students:
"The key moment of four years in college is the most easily lost time. You should have self-control, make some good friends, learn some good habits, and don't indulge in habits that don't help you (such as online games). An independent and active China classmate advised other students on my website:' Don't play games, at least don't play online games. None of my college friends who know their majors play games. Students who are addicted to online games are an escape from reality and unwilling to face their own shortcomings. In my opinion, if you want to get rid of online games, you have to cherish the precious time of college, find the direction you are interested in, and do something meaningful and satisfying. " "
Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion
Time is everyone's innate wealth. Being good at mastering and using this wealth is a management of life. Make good use of every minute around you, and you will accumulate a lot of wealth. Don't let them slip away from you in a hurry, or you will regret it. Work hard for our tomorrow.
