Talk about struggle, talk about time management

When I was in college many years ago, I decided to make a plan to challenge myself: I only need three semesters to complete a course that other people usually spend four years, and whether they can graduate. This article details all of the time management techniques I have in achieving this goal successfully.

To achieve this goal, I am determined to get 30 to 40 credits per semester, while other students average 12 to 15 credits. Obviously, I have to arrange my time to achieve my goals. I started reading all the information about time management that I could find and learned what I used. For exactly three semesters, I completed my goals: two Bachelor of Science degrees, and did not participate in the summer program. I sleep seven to eight hours a night, handle my daily chores, participate in social activities, and exercise for 30 minutes every morning. In the last semester I completed a total of 37 credits for advanced computer and math. I even had a full-time job as a game programmer and was the vice president of the local ACM Institute. My classmates added the time they spent on completing their homework, and the conclusion was that I had 250 hours a week. I graduated with a score of 3.9GPA and received a special award each year for the best computer students. One of my professors later told me that when they knew what I was doing, the candidate for the award became very simple.

I am not seen as a gifted child, this is the first time I have done this. No one has guided me. I don't know if anyone has done it. I haven't thought of anyone who encouraged me to do this. In fact, when I told everyone, most people came out to discourage me. I just want to do it for myself. If you want to better understand why I tried such a crazy thing at that time, you might be happy to read it.

The meaning of life: introduction

It contains the background of the whole story and a detailed description of my motivation.

I spent a lot of time convincing the head of the computer department to give me extra credits. My classmates often said that I cheated, or I had a twin brother, or simply said that I was mentally abnormal. Most of the time I keep silent, but when asked how many credits to take, I will answer them truthfully. I may be the only student in the entire university with a two-page schedule, so if someone bullies me, it's easy to prove that I am telling the truth, although I rarely do so.

Telling this story is not to be eye-catching, it is not to make you curious about how I do it. My success in achieving my goal is that I have used the concept of time management. Many people may not know it at all, but it has long existed in books and audio programs at that time. The time management habits developed in the university have helped me a lot in my later business, so I want to share with you and hope that you feel equally valuable. It saved me tuition and gave me about $30,000 to start a business. Gossip less, here is the essence of time management I know:

Clear goals are key

The first thing to do is to know exactly what you want. In a Taekwondo Hall I have trained, there is a huge slogan on the wall, "Your goal is black belt!" It reminds each student why they have to go through such hard training. When you work alone, it's easy to do some worthless work on your desk all day. This happens often when you don't know what you plan to do. When you realize this, ask yourself "What are the goals I am trying to achieve here?" You must try to be clear about your goals. Make your goals clearer and write them out. Your goal must be clear to the extent that even a stranger, after an objective understanding of your situation, can give an absolute “yes” or “no” response to whether or not you complete each goal. If you can't clearly define your goals, how can you know if you arrive?

I found that the key cycle of defining and embarking a clear goal is ninety days, a quarter. In such a period of time, if you establish a very clear goal, you can make a significant measurable change. Take a moment to stop and write about what you want your life to be for the next ninety days. What kind of monthly income? How much weight? How about friends? What is your career? What is your relationship? What will your website look like? An absolutely clear description will give you a boundary for your entire project.

Just as an airplane's autopilot must constantly correct the route, you must revisit your target regularly. Reread your clearly written goals every morning and rejoin these clear, recorded goals. Stick them on the wall, especially your economic goals. A few years ago, I posted a "$5,000/month" phrase in each room. That was my monthly income target. I continue to set clear revenue targets, and even if I encounter setbacks, I find this process very effective. This doesn't just help me focus on my goals - maybe it helps me to ignore things outside of my goals. For example, if you determine a target of $10,000 a month, this will make you give up on things that only earn $5,000 a month.

If you still don't understand how to clarify your goals, then use it as your primary goal. I don’t know what I want in my life is a huge waste of time. Most people have long been addicted to the state of "I don't know what to do." They waited for external forces to make their goals clear, but they did not know that they were created by themselves. Everything is waiting for you, there is no other way, it will wait until you make up your mind. Waiting for a clear goal is like a sculptor watching a piece of marble, waiting for the statue inside to throw away unwanted debris and appear automatically. Don't expect the target to be clear automatically - pick up the chisel!

Flexible arrangement

Knowing your goals is completely different from knowing how you reach your goals. A typical commercial aircraft deviates 90% of the time, but it almost always reaches its destination because it knows where to fly and corrects the direction at any time. You can't predict the exact way. I think the real purpose of the project is to make sure that there is a viable path. We have all heard that 80% of new business organizations have closed down in the first five years, but one more interesting statistic is that almost all successful business organizations have different development paths than the original plan. For successful companies that start with a business plan, you usually find that the original plan has been defeated. They just succeeded by trying other ways. Some people say that business plans that are not closely related to the market are difficult to survive. It is also difficult for me to promote it as a program that is not closely related to the real world.

Stephen Covey, a well-known writer and business consultant, often quotes this sentence, "Honely face choice." This means that you can't blindly execute the project without knowing the goal. For example, your careful execution of the plan – all the best so far – suddenly has an unforeseen opportunity. Do you stick to the original plan or stop the opportunity to seize the opportunity? At this point you need to stop and consider your goals to decide which is the better choice. Blind execution plans are not advisable. Once you have the information you can correct the plan, you have to train to be honest at the moment of choice. Sometimes you can achieve your goals with unpredictable shortcuts. At other times you have to stick to the original plan and avoid distracting from the secondary things, which will take you away from your goal. Keep your goals, but be flexible.

I believe that a clear long-term goal is far more important than a clear short-term plan. In college, I know my ultimate goal - to complete college in three semesters - but my plans are changing all the time. Every day I have new assignments, courses or exams, and I have to adapt to these changing situations. If I try to specify a long-term plan for each semester, then a day's plan will not work.

One moment

I insist on a very basic paper-pen record to do things, not some elaborate organizational systems. My only organizational tool is just a notepad, where I write down all the tasks and their deadlines. I am not worried about the prior arrangement and order. I just have to take a look at the list and pick the ones that are suitable for the spare time. Once you have completed this task, remove it from the list.

If I have a 10-hour semester assignment to write, I will complete it instead of breaking it into smaller tasks. I usually do time-consuming work on weekends. Go to the library in the morning to do the necessary review, then go back to the dorm and start writing until the final paper is printed. If you need to rest, I will rest. This has nothing to do with how important this project is and the professor’s request to complete it within a few weeks. Once I started, I would stick to it until it was 100% complete, and I was waiting to hand in my homework.

This simple habit saves me a lot of time. First of all, it makes me concentrate on each task and it is very efficient to do. Conversion tasks waste a lot of time because you have to re-understand and be familiar with them. Separate processing minimizes the time it takes to switch tasks. In fact, if possible, I will put together the tasks of a particular topic and then complete them all at once. So I finished my math homework in a row. Then do all the programming work. Then go to do a comprehensive job. In this way, I put my brain in a state of mathematical thinking, programming thinking, writing thinking, and artistic thinking, and keep a single pattern for as long as possible. Second, I feel that this habit has made me unconstrained and stressless, and my thinking will not be confused because of too much to do. This habit of doing only one thing at a time makes me forget everything except the current task.

Failure is a friend

Most people have an innate fear of failure. In fact, it is your best friend. Successful people also experience many failures because of repeated attempts. The great baseball player BabeRuth has kept a record of home runs and strikeouts. The most successful people are also facing the most painful failure. There is nothing wrong with failure, and you don't have to be ashamed. The only regret is that I never try. So don't be afraid of the process of progress. To determine if something is feasible, sometimes the quickest way is to get started. You can constantly adjust yourself during the process. This is a preparation-fire-targeting process, and surprisingly, it is more effective than the usual preparation-targeting-fire. The reason is that after you "fire", you have first-hand data to adjust your aim. Many people fall into thinking and planning, and never start to work. Staying in a certain step, you lose too many good ideas.

In college, I did a lot of crazy experiments that I thought would save time. I keep reading about time management and applying it, but I also have an original approach. Most of my own methods have failed completely, but some work. I am happy to fail again and again, in the hope of a small opportunity, my accidental discovery made me leaps and bounds.

To understand that failure is not the opposite of success. Failure is the mother of success. Once you succeed, no one remembers that you have failed. Microsoft is not the first commercial venture of BillGates and Paul Allen. Who remembers the failure of their business with Traf-o-Data? When Kim Kay Lee was a young comedian, he was often taken off the stage. The invention of the light bulb was because Thomas Edison did not give up after 10,000 failures. If you are entangled in failure, you understand it this way: it is also successful, or gained experience.

Overcoming fear of failure will make you happy. If you are excited about reaching a particular goal, but are afraid that you can't achieve it successfully, then go ahead and do it. Even if your attempt fails, you will learn something valuable, and you can make a better try the next time. If you see today's successful business people, you have to see a series of painful failures, including me, before the success of their career. And I think these people will agree with me, and the initial failure experience will have a fundamental contribution to the success. For those who plan to start a business, my advice is that entrepreneurship is production or service, not too worried about success. They may fail. But compared to just thinking, you will learn more.

Start now!

W.ClementStone has built a multi-billion dollar insurance empire. He asks all employees to recite this sentence over and over again every day before starting work: "Now start!" Once you feel lazy and think about what you have to do Stop and say aloud, "Start now! Start now! Start now!" I often use this sentence as my screen saver. The cost of dragging and pulling is huge, because you go back to work again and again, greatly increasing the waste of time. Thinking and planning are important, but action is more important. Thinking and planning won't get you paid, only work results. When you hesitate, act boldly, just as it is impossible to fail. In fact, it is true.

It is absolutely necessary to adopt the habit of making decisions. I use the sixty second principle for every necessary decision, no matter how important it is. Once I have enough preparation to make a decision, I open a timer and give myself only sixty seconds to make a decisive decision. If you need me, even by flipping a coin to choose. When I was in college, I didn't have time to worry about my homework or when. I picked up one and started doing it. Now I need to decide to write that report, I will pick a topic and start writing. I think this is the reason why I have never felt that I can't write. There is no way to write down and think about what to write. I didn't waste time writing things, just because it was too busy. This may be why I can easily write hundreds of original articles. Every article I write has at least two ideas, so my list of ideas is growing. I can't imagine that this content will run out.

People often do not make decisions, and delays are not good. Usually postponing a decision will only lead to negative consequences, so even if you are confused, make up your mind and make up your mind. If it is a wrong decision, you will soon discover it. Many people may spend more than 60 seconds deciding what to eat for lunch. If I can't decide what to eat, I grab an apple or a banana and start eating. Sometimes the fruit fills my stomach until I am sure what I want to eat. So my brain understands that in addition to fruit, if I plan to eat something else, it is best to decide quickly. If you can speed up the decision, you will save the time left to implement the project.

Studies have shown that the world's best managers have a high resistance to hesitation. In other words, they will make bold decisions in the face of preference or contradiction. Many of today's industrialists are accelerating the pace of making decisions, because by the time they are prepared, they may miss out on opportunities. When you have no way to go, you can only rely on your own experience and intuition. Make decisions as quickly as possible. If you can't decide right away, put it aside and take a moment to consider making another decision. A lot of time should be spent on action, not on the decision itself. Indecision is a serious waste of time, preferably no more than 60 seconds. Make a firm and direct decision, change from uncertainty to certainty, and then act. Let the facts tell you when something goes wrong, so that you will accumulate enough experience to make a correct and wise decision.

Ruthless giving up

Give up all the things that waste time. Throw them all into the trash can. Follow the "If you doubt, it is better to give up" guidelines. Don't subscribe to magazines that are useless. If you haven't read the magazine two months ago, throw it away, it may not be worth reading. It is valuable to understand that anything that takes time to do. Before signing up for a new service or subscription, ask yourself how much time it will take you. Doing everything has its opportunity cost. Ask yourself, "Is it worth my sacrifice for it?"

When I was in college, I rigorously screened everything I had to do. I once refused to participate in a computer science research activity arranged by a professor, because that would waste me a lot of time. That study took about 10 to 20 hours of work time, and in such a long time I would fall into the tedious work, but I couldn't learn anything I didn't know before. And that study only accounted for 10% of my class scores, and my previous performance was excellent. The only result of not participating in the research was that the grades changed from A to A-. I told the professor that it was fair and would accept A-. I don't want to talk to him any special conditions. So my grade for the semester was A-, but I gave myself A+ because I used those 10 to 20 hours better.

Ask yourself the question: "If I want to do it again, such as studying a topic, building a relationship, doing a job, etc., so I can't get new knowledge, do I have to start again?" If you The answer is "no", then hurry away from those things. This is called meaningless thinking. I have learned that many people use the credo of "doing things start and end" to limit themselves. They spent a lot of time climbing a ladder, but when they reached the top of the ladder, they found that the ladder was the wrong building, and everything that was done before was in vain. Remember that failure is your friend. So, when you find that the decisions you have made are no longer serving your current goals, please boldly and ruthlessly abandon your previous decisions and then look for better ideas. People don't take pride in spending their life's energy to pursue a goal of slack life. This is another moment to take care of the overall situation. You must insist on a reassessment of your current situation before making the right decisions for future development. If you don't always look at your decisions today, then all the decisions you have made before are useless.

Identify and make up for wasted time

Record an hour-long TV show and skip the ad in a fast-forward manner within 45 minutes. The same thing, if you can solve it by phone in 10 minutes, don't spend half an hour sending a long e-mail. Put together what you have to do and get them right away.

During the summer between the second and third semesters of the university, I found that an apartment along the street was a little closer to the museum than our dormitory. So I moved out of the dormitory and moved into the apartment along the street, so I saved some time walking or cycling every day. My original dormitory has three people in each room, and now I have a smaller, single-stay small apartment room. The new room is more efficient, for example, I can make dinner while I work, because there is only a few steps between my desk and the stove.

People who are eager to improve efficiency always start with the habit of overcoming wasted time, but I think that is wrong. It is slower to cultivate personal habits. First, we must clearly define the purpose. If you don't have a clear purpose, just try to use effective habits to crowd out invalid habits, then the result is only failure. Because you don't have a strong reason to support you to spend time doing meaningful things, it's easy to stop when you do. You need an ambitious, attractive goal to inspire yourself. The reason for being able to squeeze out 15 minutes of working time is because of the passion you use to make better use of these 15 minutes.

For example, you may have a job that you still like, but the competition for this job is not intense, then you should pay attention to save 15 minutes for each job, so that you can save even time every day. For hours. If you can use them to achieve your deep-rooted goals, then you will be proactive in making better use of the time saved. If you understand that real life is in the order of "purpose, meaning, belief", then low-level life is in a state of self-regulation of "habit, practice, action."

Apply the rules of 80-20

We all know the Pareto principle, the 80-20 proportional relationship rule, which refers to achieving 80% value with 20% effort. In turn, the rules also refer to: 80% of the effort to achieve 20% value. I strictly followed this principle when I was in college. In a few weeks I escaped 40% of the class, because for me, class is not the most efficient way to learn. In the previous article I have mentioned the refusal to participate in a research project because I feel that it is not worth the time. Similarly, I only attended twice in a math class, at the end of the period and at the end of the period. Because I feel that reading my own books is much faster than listening to lectures. I started doing homework every time I was in class, and then recorded the next time I was going to talk when I was going to class. In fact, I took the highest score for that class, but the professor may not know who I am. All the students except me are studying in accordance with the rules and neglecting their own rules. Find the 20% part of your life that is vital and then go all out. If there are some things that will waste time, be sure to give up without hesitation. Invest your time in things that can do more with less.

Defend your time

To work efficiently, you need a lot of uninterrupted time to do meaningful work. When you make sure you are not being disturbed, your work efficiency will be much higher. When you sit down and do a particularly serious job, don't do anything else and concentrate on investing in this time. I found that a time period of no less than 90 minutes is ideal for completing a single job.

You need to talk to the people around you to make sure that the big chunks are not disturbed. If necessary, inform them in advance not to bother you at a particular time. If necessary, threaten by force. At school, when I need to work, I will lock the door of the bedroom. In this case, my roommate will understand that I will not bother me during this time. However, each individual bedroom was designed for two people, so I paid more and had a bedroom that was completely own. So I can work in a private room. When I have time, I open the door and sometimes play games with my roommate. If you happen to be working in a constantly disturbed environment, your productivity will be affected, so you have to change that environment at any cost. Some people told me that they used this article to show their bosses and help persuade him/her to try to reduce unnecessary interruptions while at work.

For some people, it is good to draw a special time to work. My best working time is a long, endless time, and I don't want to be disturbed. I often specify the start time of the job, but I don't specify the time for the specific completion. Whenever I work as long as possible, until I feel hungry or have other physical needs. I can work for six hours without rest. Although it is widely believed that frequent breaks can improve efficiency, I feel that this kind of argument is only a kind of human comfort for the poor, non-active workers in the industrialization period, and does not apply to those who are proactive, targeted and creative. I find that I will work all the time until I can hardly continue, and I will not divide a job into small parts, because then there is a danger of distraction at work.

Whenever you focus on a job and forget the time, it takes about 15 minutes to enter the state. After being disturbed, it takes another 15 minutes to re-enter the state. Once you have entered the state, you must keep it. This state allows you to concentrate on a lot of work and past experience related to your work. When I was in this state, I never wanted to be in the past and in the future. I only think of me and my work.

However, sometimes I have encountered such a problem. I can't finish it on time due to the increase in work, but I think it's worth taking the risk to try. For example, when I optimize my website, I often have good ideas in my mind. So I immediately put my ideas into practice. I found that it was much more efficient to implement ideas at the time than to arrange them afterwards.

Fully invested

For a while, don't consider anything other than doing your immediate work. Don't check your mailbox, bubble forum or just surf the internet. If you have this idea, disconnect the Internet connection while you are working. Turn off the phone or reject it. Go to the toilet before you start, and make sure you don't feel hungry for a while. Do not leave the chair at this time, and don't talk to people.

If you decide what to do, don't do anything else. If you are accidentally disturbed by others, ask them what is the most important thing and determine if they are just doing the most important thing. If this person is replying to an email, then sending an email at this time is the most important thing for him at this time. Otherwise, this person is usually wasting time.

If you need a break, take a rest. If you feel that you need to recover your strength, then don't rest while working. Receiving mail and surfing the Internet are not a break. When you are resting, close your eyes, take a deep breath, listen to some relaxing music or go for a walk, take a nap for twenty minutes, or eat some fruit. Always rest until you feel you can work hard. Take a break and rest, work should work. If you can't concentrate 100%, don't work. It’s true that you want to rest for a long time, just don’t let the rest time take up working hours.

Multi-line work

New knowledge in specific areas has increased so quickly that your knowledge may become obsolete at any time. The only solution is to absorb as much new knowledge as possible. Many of the skills I have at work today have not existed five years ago. As far as I know, a good way to keep up with the development of the times is to read as much as possible, as well as to listen to the recordings.

When watching TV, read computer magazines during advertising hours. If it is a man, read it while shaving. I shave my face with an electric razor every day and I will read something in these two or three minutes. This allowed me to read two more articles a week - 100 more in a year. This habit is easy to get started. Just pick up a few magazines or print some articles that you don't have time to read and put them in your bedroom. When you go out, take a copy. If you want to line up, such as at a post office or a store, you can read it out. You will be amazed at how much knowledge you have learned while doing these brainless things.

Listen to some educational recordings as much as possible. You can listen when you drive. NightingaleConant sells a variety of recordings organized by experts in various fields. Most are six hours long, about $60 to $70, and they are worth the money. These programs are more practical than taking classes in college. People who get a business or trade degree at a university are taught by university professors, and when you learn the same course, it is up to those millionaires or billionaires to tell you what works and what doesn't. A good way to save time is to ask people who have the skills you want to learn.

Multi-line work may be the most important simple technique for completing a college course in three semesters. Usually I have seven to eight hours of classes on weekdays. But every Tuesday of the last semester, I was in class from 9 am to 10 pm. Because I have selected 12 courses per semester, there are many tests and homework to do every week. I don't have time to study outside of class time. So I have to learn what I have encountered. If the teacher wrote something on the blackboard, I will remember it; I can't wait to learn later, so there is danger of falling behind. For difficult courses, I will do homework, complete programming algorithms, or improve my plan. You can find countless opportunities for multi-line work. When you are active, such as driving, cooking, shopping or walking, listening to tape or reading something.

The idea of ​​multi-line work seems to contradict the one that was previously suggested. But what I talked about above is high-intensity work, and you must do your best to concentrate all the spirits to do them well. And the work here refers to low-intensity work that can do other things at the same time, such as queuing, cooking, flying or moving from one place to another. Multi-line work can't be used for mission-critical tasks, otherwise it would be counterproductive. Take a break and take a break, but don't waste time on local results. It is more effective to adjust between full work and complete rest.

Multi-line work can increase your efficiency to a new level. You may feel that this is too tired, but many people find that the effect is the opposite. Doing a lot of things makes me energetic. The harder you work, the stronger your ability to work and the more effective your break will be.

Give it a try

People and people are not the same, so the method that works for you may not work for others. You may work in the morning with high efficiency or like to stay up late. Use your own characteristics and find ways to make up for the shortcomings. Listen to music while experimenting. I use the free WinAMP player, which can play a variety of free music on the computer all day long. I found that classical music and New Century music, especially Mozart, did not work well for web development. But for most everyday things, listening to fast techno/trance music can make me faster. I don't know why, when I listen to fast-paced music, the effect is not to double the music. On the other hand, music with lyrics is harmful because it is too distracting. If I want to be highly concentrated, I don't listen to music at all. Try it yourself and see what kind of music can benefit you. For me, the difference in these music is dramatic.

When you think of a strange idea to improve efficiency, first try to see how it works. If you haven't tried it, don't give up any ideas easily. Local success is more common than total failure, so every attempt will be helpful for time management practices. Even if the ongoing attempt is stupid, it will also make you more efficient.

Keep passion

The word "enthusiasm" comes from the Greek word "entheos", which literally means "God is in the heart." I really like this explanation. If there is no continuous passion for how to arrange time, I suspect that mastering the art of time management is impossible. Move in the direction that really inspires you. Chase your passion, not money. If you are not enthusiastic about your work, you are wasting your life. Change your job. Rethinking new careers. Don't be discouraged if your current career becomes boring. Remember, failure is a friend. Listen to the inner call and change your own work. It is the most time-consuming to do things that make you unhappy. You work for your own life, not for anything else.

Like most people, you may soon let yourself take the initiative, but then you will be depressed and inefficient, unable to continue the project. When you are passionate, how easy it is to start a new project. However, when the passion retreats, how difficult is it to persist? There will always be one or the other shortcomings. Unless you think of ways to actively develop, you will lose your initiative and enthusiasm over time. I don't think that things that I don't want to do at all can be forced. If I don't take the initiative, it is almost impossible to sit down and work hard, and how painful it is. When you have enough initiative, you will work just like you play.

I can't lose my passion in college, then I will die. I quickly realized that I must consciously enhance my enthusiasm every day. I always carry the Walkman around, and as I move from one classroom to the next, I listen to tapes that are time management and self-motivation. I also listened when jogging in the morning. I keep my passion almost all the time. Even if someone says that I will fail. These tapes have had a huge impact on me because I have been in a positive state.

If your enthusiasm is high, you will work productively and take boring work as fun. I have always found that once I want to take my career to a new level, I must first raise my awareness to a new level. When the heart wants to change, the action will change, and the result will change. Unless you are born to be an energetic guy, you need to increase your enthusiasm every day. I recommend listening to self-motivated tapes or reading urging books and articles for at least 15 minutes a day. As soon as you stop cheering on yourself, you will begin to doubt yourself and the power will begin to decrease. It’s really amazing to always infuse yourself with the initiative to keep your passion. If you work at the same time, you don't have to spend another time.

Diet and exercise

In the summer before the last semester of the university, I became a semi-vegan, and I found that my energy has improved a lot, especially my ability to concentrate. Four years later I became a vegan, and this has produced even greater enhancements to this day.

Diet has a profound impact on activities. Meat products require more time and energy to digest than plant foods, so when your body consumes special energy to digest, it means that your energy for mental work is reduced. When you digest meat-containing foods, your work efficiency is reduced and it is easier to distract. If you find it difficult to concentrate on mental work after a meal, what you eat is the culprit. Franklin also believes that moderately tempered dining is important to the job. He was able to continue his effective work for the rest of his life, and his colleagues seemed dull and drowsy.

Regular physical exercise is also necessary for enough energy and a clear mind. I have to run for 30 minutes every day before breakfast in college. Of course, I will also listen to some self-motivated tapes and educational tapes. This keeps my body in good condition every day and helps me maintain my ideal weight. In addition, the place where I go to class every day needs to go around on campus, and I have to carry a 20 to 30-pound schoolbag filled with textbooks. So even if I sit in the classroom most of the weekend, I get enough physical exercise.

Mastering time management is very rewarding for honing your best time management tools, your body. Through diet and exercise, you can develop the ability to continue to concentrate, even if it is difficult to work, it seems easy.

If you feel that you are overweight now, go to a nearby gym or sporting goods store and choose a dumbbell that is equal to your excess weight. Take it around and feel the burden of your day. Imagine how easy it would be if you lose this weight. It's one thing to carry heavy weights to exercise, but if these weights are part of your weight, you can never put down such heavy weights, and you can't get the reward from such exercise.

Work and rest

I feel that if you can't arrange your life reasonably, it will not be easy to maintain long-term motivation, health and happiness. The strengths of certain aspects do not compensate for other deficiencies. I try to relax myself in the university every day. Do sports, join parties and clubs, play games, play billiards, and even travel to Las Vegas in the last semester. "Black March" is caused by unreasonable life. Being overly focused on one aspect at the expense of other lives is harmful in the long run. Maintain a balance in all aspects of your life. While developing your career, don't forget to develop your own personality.

The last three semester of college, I finally regretted that I did not have a girlfriend. Although I have many good friends, we play together in the bar every week, but outside of busy, I really don't have time to chase girls. I remember once, a girl was obviously interested in me, she was more with me. But I gave up because I didn't have time to date her in the way she imagined. She can't be my girlfriend.

If I start over, I believe it will be better to complete my studies in four or five semesters, so I have time to find a girlfriend. It’s wonderful to share the joy of life with others, let alone other intimate contacts. I have a lot of time to date after graduation. I found my girlfriend a few months later and we got married four years later. She and I were alumni at college, and we had many common acquaintances, but we never met at the time.

I believe that the meaning of time management is to make every effort to make your life interesting. Defining your goals and developing good habits will enable you to achieve your goals more efficiently, and you will enjoy a rich and rich life that you have never had before. After more than a decade, I looked back at my college life, and I was filled with gratitude for the whole process. On the road to success, I developed a rigorous plan and grew up quickly. This is the best time of my life.

If you want to be active, let your life change completely. The reason for mastering time management is to get a quality life and make it different. Time management is not self-sacrifice or self-denial, nor is it desperate to do things that you are not willing to do. In fact, it is to make you more happy to do what you like.
