Self evaluation
I always think that it is horrible for a person if he/she cannot manage the time. Whenever I met an opposite example, I will feel sorry for them, because they have waste so many precious times in life. The world is so unfair just like that, the person who don’t know how to manage the time, would live a life even much harder than an ox, on the contrary, the little fellow who knows how to manage time lived a very happy and pleasant life. Why you cannot executive the things according to the schedule? Whenever mention about the schedule, the issue that many people proposed is that “I have issued the schedule, but I can never make it, what should I do?” the reason is very simple, you schedule is not appropriate enough.
First, formulate a schedule do not need to rack one’s brains, imaging about getting up at 6 am and doing housework, because it! is! totally! INSANE, planning means deliberation, especially need to consider the plan is feasible or not. You need to have a good understanding about yourself, know the real situation that you are in, do not take the straight A students as the model without full considerations. What you need is to formulate a schedule that suit you best, instead of the schedule of others. You need to make sure the purpose that you want to achieve, and settle down the current matters: the weekly matters, such as cooking breakfast, go to school, accompany girlfriend/boyfriend; matters that need to be added to weekends, such as exercises, reading, parties.
When you have finished the step above, we can start to optimize the schedule. You do not need to overturn the present living status of yourselves, but should improve it gradually. Such as form the habit of reading 30 pages of book everyday from this month, until you get used to this state, and can enjoy the things you are doing. In the next month, you can add a new task in your time-table, such as “exercise once in a week”, and at the same time persist to the reading habit. Unconsciously, you will find that you can fit in with the new schedule, instead of all kinds of inabilities and delays like the past.
Which task first of the TO DO LIST? Open your TO DO LIST, which affair you need to do first? Of course is the most emergency and important things. You need to category the task before work, the work that due in tomorrow is more urgent that the work that due in the day after tomorrow. When you finish a rather difficult matter, you’d better finish an easy task next which only cost a few time. If you are always finishing very tough task, you mind is easier to be distracted, a simple thing will allow you to regain the confidence and satisfaction.
If you want to make use of time to the maximum degree, then you need to constantly improve your efficiency. Why others only need to 1 hour to finish the same PPT, but you need to take 5 hours? Besides the factors that you are inexpert, probably you have spent too many times on the things that should not cost any time of you. Before you doing things, you mind must walk ahead of your hand, master the overall situation, and make clear the manners before make actions, instead of doing the things in a total mess, finally you many have to stop and correct the former mistakes.
