Recently many friends asked me how I allocate time, how can I improve the utilization of time, complete their weekly expected to complete the work and so on. Think oneself did read more books, tried many methods to find now more suitable for their study habits, during the various when it is more complex, writing this article is also hope to be confused, a little overwhelmed friends some help.
Before beginning to declare, online about time management questions and answers there are many, but why I do not let others go to their own Baidu and to write an article to others to learn from it? this aspect i also searched a lot of, online article is many, but a lot of people of all ages of all walks of life to write, pertinence is weaker, various methods need oneself through practice is really can understand its profound meaning, a lot of person will often as a novel to see, at that time feel very formidable appearance, however oneself still do not know how to do. In addition is some fragmented answer, these often can let people see a bright feeling, but because the space is too small, just can see some points, but do not know the specific implementation of the problems encountered how to feel like.
This article is mainly my views on the management of college students, in other areas with this view to set may not be suitable, but this article in the elaboration will also use more examples, we may also encounter similar situations in life, but also hope to see this article can have a little of their own harvest. I have, from my own point of reference, tried to be as objective as possible, with the wrong place to testify and to be tolerant.
1. Have enough knowledge of yourself
First of all, it must be explained that there is a more efficient time management level is definitely not an overnight thing, even if you are to your colleagues, students learning can not be completely copied, time management needs to devote a certain amount of time to practice (I was invested a lot of time).
And what are the differences that affect our time management, and what do we have to know about ourselves? (Just a few points)
the limits of individual learning: This determines how much time you can spend on learning each day, and how to schedule a break. A lot of people who have not yet started to think, as long as their own thinking, then 12 hours a day to learn is completely possible-impossible, do not believe you can try. (mainly refers to academic study, if you say you are 12 hours a day to follow the seniors walk to learn social skills I have nothing to talk about)
family background: poorer people tend to have more difficulty managing time than most people, mainly because they need to consider more factors. For example, in a university where the family is poorer, then such people may need to spend more time studying to earn a scholarship, or spend a certain amount of time a week doing part-time work. (However, many wealthy families do not know the advantages of seizing this time)
focus on things: a lot of reciting things, can be back at any time, can make great use of some fragmented time. However, some science things, learning mathematics, learning programming and so on, you need to arrange for yourself a large chunk of time to learn.
the impact of the surrounding environment: If the environment is not good, then it is involved in the question of personal willpower.
2. To have a goal and their direction of progress.
I have a lot of people around me on the way, I will think about how hard people around me, I want to become like that, but also to learn and so on, and then finally always with "not suitable for themselves", "I do not want to become a * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *, and then continue to However, the premise of efficient management is that you are giving your time to something that you feel is meaningful.
So how do you set your goals? There are a few main suggestions:
1, is to see more of their own industry-related books. For example, I'm going to be a programmer, and I read books like "The Top of the tide" and "The path of Programmer's cultivation."
2, to shape their own outlook on life, confused more look at the philosophical category of books. the formulation of goals is also a decision on the direction of their own life. For example, if you decide to have a hard life, then perhaps you can choose to start a variety of business, if you feel you want to enjoy life, want to get along with the family, then the business is certainly not appropriate, one risk is relatively large, and the other needs to invest a lot of time. So that you can learn technology to do small staff, open a small shop to operate their own business and so on.
3, to understand their interests and hobbies and personality. such as myself, I like to contact new things, want to keep up with the trend of the times, and then like to do the challenging things, I want to do computer work, then there is no doubt to go the programmer this way. Try not to say your hobby is playing games, you want to do this work, because and you have common interests and hobbies too many people. If you insist, then I encourage you, but I will never encourage my children to do so.
never compare with others and be firm in your own way. What other people may want to pursue is academic research, so in school, of course, you need to have excellent grades, and then you need to learn more advanced, in-depth, others may want to pursue after graduating from college, then he may need to learn more about social things in college, Also need to exercise their social skills and various. If you always want to compare with others, you will be busy, but not to his goal a step closer.
In the planning of time more do not need to compare, do not think that people will spend more time in a week than you in the study, you are like wasting time. In all directions there will always be more people than you work harder, but, personal goals are different, if your goal is to spend more time with your family, then if you can spend these hours with your family, then also is the realization of your goal. Of course, if you do not practice the goal, but addicted to the network to play games and so on, this is a waste of time, need to reflect on their own.
3. Learn to choose, have to get.
I have a friend, in the university is the student union, I want to do the minister, so the time itself is relatively busy, but he also wants to make the results of all the subjects to be excellent (is to understand every knowledge point of the kind), and hope that their professional program can be excellent, after-school oneself also have to attend various meetings and activities, He is also a library volunteer, often participates in volunteer activities, and spends his time learning cars every week. I am sure of his aggressiveness, but such an arrangement is obviously unreasonable.
Without saying anything else, how much time per week will you have to think about your future path? How much time do you have to know your industry? How much time do you have to think about your recent state?
Moreover, everything wants to learn, everything to learn, often is a goal of their own ambiguous performance. What should be done at this time is not to do things that seem to help you, but to know more about your industry, to communicate with others, to set your own direction.
Many people may say that social skills, interpersonal skills, and expressive abilities are all helpful at any time in life and can be learned when they are confused. My point, however, is that these are enough, and that your core competencies in your industry are expertise, not these. (Do not rule out some industries these are core competitiveness) of course, some people will say I want to do my industry management class, so I need to exercise these, my advice is, will exercise in their ordinary life, more with people to improve their expression ability, communicative ability can (if can do, certainly enough), Other time or hard to learn professional knowledge, understand their own industry, you are not superior to others, why do you manage? (If it's just the ability to express and socialize, why not find a sale to manage it?) )
In addition, than the larger realization of the goal (3, 5 years) the best order one or two is appropriate, generally do not seek more, but refinement. A busy state may be a few weeks, a few months, but in a few years, it is often not possible.
Finally, it is necessary to push off the unnecessary entertainment, networking, dinner, and so on, perhaps we all know, not to do more detailed in this.
4. To give their time enough flexible space, to classify the plan, their own arrangements to arrange the order of execution.
For example, Xiao Ming will take the exam tomorrow and then give himself a day's study schedule.
7.00--8.30 back English
8.30--8.40 Rest
8.40--10.40 do English papers
10.40--11.30 back English
11.30--12.00 Dinner
12.00--14.30 do math Papers
15.30--17.00 revise math papers and review
17.20--18.30 back English
19.00--21.00 do physics and review
I believe that such arrangements are naïve people have done, such arrangements seem reasonable, positive upward, but it is extremely unreasonable arrangements, why, I would like to enumerate the things that can break this arrangement.
1, 9.3 In the morning, Xiao Ming's mother called Xiao Ming to go out soy sauce (refused to come back to be beaten), then Xiao Ming just rest and can rest, and then the time to do English test is broken, is to do the time of the test paper dragged it, or how?
2, distant relatives come over, to take care of.
3, noon eat something to eat bad belly, afternoon diarrhea.
4, no refill, it takes 20 minutes to go out to buy a refill.
5, the rest of the time to see their favorite movies, can not stop at all.
6, secretly love the girl called to ask for counseling homework.
7. Xiao Ming suddenly wanted to play a game in the morning. (Suppress the impulse of playing games to learn a day?) )
Just write a few, this arrangement is a little bit of things can be broken, and often as long as the middle of a little has been broken, then the arrangement is tantamount to void, a day basic less efficient.
Of course, these arrangements of xiaoming can be fully realized, how? In the days before the implementation of the arrangements, or even a few weeks before the arrangement, with the surrounding may affect their own people are clear that the day will not have time, to rule out the factors that may affect themselves, then the time to hide in the study, turn off cell phones and computers, noon to eat something normal and so on. (assuming, of course, that Xiaoming has a very strong willpower)
So how can you arrange your time flexibly? Just from the example above:
1, to arrange their own content can be completed. Personal experience, usually do one thing time will often exceed their expected time, in making arrangements for the time to create two times to complete this thing. (If you run into an unusual situation, finish it early and do more time.) Below will say)
2. If there is a short-term plan to be implemented in the near future, it is best to mention it to the people around you before implementing it, minimizing the impact of external factors on your implementation plan.
3. Divide the day into morning, afternoon and evening. When planning for yourself, schedule the approximate time rather than the exact time, and change the precise points to the morning, afternoon and evening.
Or take yourself for example, such as my two days this weekend to my own arrangement is to learn Android programming and C + + programming, I gave myself a half-day, I would like to learn Android Saturday and Sunday learning C + + (morning afternoon random). Then met two unexpected situation, one is, Saturday afternoon girlfriend asked me to accompany her to stroll half a day street, two people are Android learning beyond my expectations, I need to spend a day. My arrangement was easy. Saturday Morning to learn Android part, afternoon with girlfriend, Saturday evening is also considered Sunday morning learning Android Random, Saturday pm to learn C + + programming. The unexpected situation has no effect on my study.
Of course many curious reunion asked, if nothing bothers me, then my time a total of Saturday up and down late and Sunday up and down six parts, I only use One-third, is not a bit of a waste of time? The next step is to explain the problem.
To classify their own plans, individuals are mainly divided into a few categories: ultra-long-term plan (decades), long-term plan (3-5 years), short-term plan (within one months), weekly plan (tasks to be completed each week), briefly
Ultra-long-term planning: mainly on their own outlook on life and values, such as watching the news, reading psychology and philosophical books and so on. Of course, the personal plan also includes a better understanding of the IT industry and so on.
Long-term planning: This is primarily your goal, dividing your goals into weekly, monthly small plans that can be implemented.
Short-term plan: This is often a recent project Ah, a homework, exams and so on.
Weekly schedule: every week, there will be work to be done every week.
In my personal example above, learning Android programming is my long-term plan, while learning C + + programming is my short-term plan, week plan I usually put on Sunday night. As I said above, I used twice times the time to achieve my arrangement, then if there is no sudden interruption of time, the spare time to do what? Then it's easy to implement an ultra-long-term plan and use it to exceed long-term plans . (That's why I've made my goals so important.)
Of course, sometimes there will be too many unexpected situations, have to push off some of the plans when to do? The first is the non-implementation of the ultra-long-term plan, if the time is not enough, then postpone the long-term plan, if it is not enough then in the case of the weekly plan can be completed the appropriate extension.
One might say, then what if there is an unexpected situation that will take up all your free time at once? My answer is, it's impossible. First of all, if so, I will be notified in advance, and I'll finish the weekly plan and the short-term plan ahead of time. Then, if there's no point in such an activity, I've already pushed it off, and if it makes sense, then it's the execution of long-term or ultra-long-term plans, and the next time they're executed.
5. Understand your interests and industry and update your goals. Exercise and pay attention to your diet.
Here again to understand their interests and the role of the industry, because the times are changing, the world around us is constantly updating, we also need to constantly update their ideas, including their own goals. Updating does not mean change, but in certain circumstances, it is necessary to take a different route, but make a choice carefully. Because if your goal is not correct, you do not fit the road, then even if you can use the time, the time of the effort may not be able to create their own value.
Finally, we should pay attention to exercise and pay attention to diet. This is to increase the length of your entire life, and also to save time for your whole life. If the body is not good, then you need to spend a lot of time on medication, not to mention the illness hospitalization, which will make you pay less. In the short term, you may spend 4 or 5 hours a week than others, which often doesn't make you a step closer to your goals, but fitness will not only make you healthier, but will also give you confidence and subtle help in every aspect of your life and work. See a word on the Internet, your soul in the world's best container is not a beautiful house, but your strong body.
