12种时间管理方法

　　1、有计划地使用时间。不会计划时间的人，等于计划失败。

　　2、目标明确。目标要具体、具有可实现性。

　　3、将要做的事情根据优先程度分先后顺序。80%的事情只需要20%的努力。而20%的事情是值得做的，应当享有优先权。因此要善于区分这20%的有价值的事情，然后根据价值大小，分配时间。

　　4、将一天从早到晚要做的事情进行罗列。

　　5、每件事都有具体的时间结束点。控制好通电话的时间与聊天的时间。

　　6、遵循你的生物钟。你办事效率最佳的时间是什么时候？将优先办的事情放在最佳时间里。

　　7、做好的事情要比把事情做好更重要。做好的事情，是有效果；把事情做好仅仅是有效率。首先考虑效果，然后才考虑效率。 Focus first on effectiveness (identifying what is the right thing to do), then concentrate on efficiency (doing it right).

　　8、区分紧急事务与重要事务。紧急事往往是短期性的，重要事往往是长期性的。必须学会如何让重要的事情变得很紧急，是高效的开始。

　　9、每分每秒做最高生产力的事。将罗列的事情中没有任何意义的事情删除掉。

　　10、不要想成为完美主义者。不要追求完美，而要追求办事效果。

　　11、 巧妙地拖延。如果一件事情，你不想做，可以将这件事情细分为很小的部分，只做其中一个小的部分就可以了，或者对其中最主要的部分最多花费15分钟时间去做。

　　12、学会说"不"。一旦确定了哪些事情是重要的，对那些不重要的事情就应当说"不"。

The Time Message

You may have been exposed to this idea before, but this time try to hear. There is a message that is trying to reach you, and it is important that it get through loud and clear. The message?
Time management!
Time is elusive and tricky. It is the easiest thing in the world to waste - the most difficult to control. When you look ahead, it may appear you have more than you need. Yet it has a way of slipping through your fingers like quicksand. You may suddenly find that there is no way to stretch the little time you have left to cover all your obligations. For example, as a beginning student looking ahead to a full term you may feel that you have an oversupply of time on your hands. But toward the end of the term you may panic because time is running out. The answer?
Control!
Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. If you don't make it work for you, it will work against you. You must become the master of time, not the servant.
Study hard and play hard is an old proverb, but is still makes sense. You have plenty of time for classes, study, work, and play if you use your time properly. It is not how much time you allocate for study that counts but how much you learn when you do study.
Too much wasted time is bad medicine. The more time you waste, the easier it is too continue wasting time. Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can't break. It becomes a drug. When this happens, you lose your feeling of accomplishment and you fall by the wayside. A full schedule is a good schedule.
Some students refuse to hear the time message. They refuse to accept the fact that college life demands some degree of time control. There is no escape. So what's the next step? If you seriously with to get the time message, this passage will give it to you. Remember - it will not only improve your grades but also free you to enjoy college life more.
Message 1. Time is valuable - control it from the beginning.
Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the beginning of the term and readjust it with each new project. Thus you can spread your work time around a little.
Message 2. Get the notebook habit.
Go and buy a pocket-size notebook. There many varieties of these special notebooks. Select the one you like best. Use it to schedule your study time each day. You can also use it to note important dates, appointments, addresses, and telephone numbers. Keep it with you at all times.
Message 3. Prepare a weekly study schedule.
The main purpose of the notebook is to help you prepare a weekly study schedule. Once prepared, follow the same pattern every week with minor adjustments. Sunday is an excellent day to make up your schedule for the following week. Write in your class schedule first. Add your work hours, if any. Then write in the hours each day you feel you must allocate for study. Keep it simple.
Message 4. Be realistic.
When you plan time for these things, be realistic. Don't underestimate. Overestimate, if possible, so that emergencies that arise don't hang you up. Otherwise your entire routine may get thrown off balance while you devote night and day to crash efforts.
Message 5. Make study time fit the course.
How much study time you schedule for each classroom hour depends on four factors: (1) your ability, (2) the difficulty of the class, (3) the grades you hope to achieve, and (4) how well you use your study time. One thing, however, is certain: you should schedule a minimum of one hour of study for each classroom hour. In many cases, more will be required.
Message 6. Keep your schedule flexible.
A good schedule must have a little give so that special projects can be taken care of properly. Think out and prepare your schedule each week and do not become a slave to an inflexible pattern. Adjust it as you deem necessary.
Message 7. Study first - fun later.
You will enjoy your fun time more after you have completed your study responsibilities. So, where possible, schedule your study hours in advance of fun activities. This is a sound principle to follow, so keep it in mind as you prepare your first schedule.
Message 8. Study some each class day.
Some concentrated study each day is better than many study hours one day and nothing the next. As you work out your individual schedule, attempt to include a minimum of two study hours each day. This will not only keep the study habit alive but also keep you up to date on your class assignments and projects.
Few beginning freshmen can control their time effectively without a written schedule, so why kid yourself into thinking you don't need one? You do. Later on, when you have had more experience and you have the time-control habit, you may be able to operate without it. Of course the schedule is only the first step. Once you have it prepared, you must stick with it and follow it faithfully. You must push away the many temptations that are always present or your schedule is useless. Your schedule will give you control only if you make it work.

时间信息

你可能听说过这个观点，但不妨再听一次。有一条信息要传送给你，而且要清楚响亮地传到，这很重要。信息？
时间管理！
时间难以捉摸，稍纵即逝。浪费时间是世界上最容易做到的事情，也是最难控制的。当你朝前看时，时间也许显得比你需要的多。可是它会像流沙一样从缝间溜走。你可能会突然发现剩下的那点时间没法完成所有的任务。比方说，作为一个新生，你看到眼前整整一个学期，会觉得手上有多余的时间，但是当学期末临近时，没准就会恐慌起来，因为时间快用完了。答案呢？
控制！
时间是危险的。你不控制它，它就会控制你。你不让它为你工作，它就会成为你的对头。你必须做它的主人而不是佣人。
刻苦学习，开心玩耍是句老话，但依然有意义。如果合理安排时间就会有足够的时间上课、学习、玩耍。重要的不是分配了多少时间学习，而是学习时你到底学到了多少。
浪费太多时间就跟吃了治不好病的药一样。时间浪费得越多，就越容易继续浪费时间。很快无所事事就成了改不掉的习惯，就会上瘾。如果这样，你会失去成就感，半途而废。安排得满满的时间表就很好。
有的学生拒绝听取时间。信息他们不愿意接受大学生活要求一定程度的时间控制这一事实。但这无可避免。那下一步呢？如果你真心想要得到时间信息，这个章节会提供给你。记住，这不仅会提高你的分数，还会让你更地享受大学生活。
信息1：时间是宝贵的，从头开始控制它。
时间就是今天，不是明天或下星期。在学期开始时就实施你的计划并随着每一个新的规划调整。这样就能把工作的时间分散一些。
信息2：养成用笔记本的习惯。
去买个袋装笔记本。这种特殊笔记本有好多，这种你最喜欢的，用它来安排每天的学习时间。还可以记载重要的约会、地址、电话号码。把它一直带在身边。
信息3：制定每周学习计划。
这个笔记本的主要用途是帮你准备一周学习计划。一旦定下，每周依照同样模式而行，只做小的变动。星期天正好用来安排下周计划。最先记下上课的时间，再加上工作时间，如果有的话。然后写上每天必须分配的学习时间。尽量简单些。
信息4：现实些。
做计划时，现实些。别少估时间，如果可能，多估些，这样发生紧急情况也不至于耽误工作。否则你日夜应付突发事件时，日常工作就会推动平衡。
信息5：学习的时间同课程相符。
每个课时安排多少时间学习取决于四个因素：（1）能力；（2）课程难度；（3）希望得到的分数；（4）利用时间能力的好坏。但有一件事是确定的：每一课时应安排至少一小时学习时间。很多情况下会需要更多时间。
信息6：保持学习计划的灵活性。
好的时间表必须有点儿弹性，这样特殊的计划就能处理得当。想一想，制定每周的计划，不要变成一成不变的模式的奴隶。必要时加以调整。
信息7：先学习，后娱乐。
完成学习任务之后再玩会更加愉快。所以只要可能，把学习时间安排在娱乐之前。这是要遵从的合理原则，所以在准备第一个日程表的时候就牢记在心。
信息8：每个学习日都学到一些东西。
每天集中学一会儿比一天学几个小时、第二天又不要学强。做个人日程表时，尽量每天安排至少两个小时学习。这不仅让你保持学习习惯，还使你了解学习任务和计划。
很少大学新生能够没有日程表就有效地控制时间，所以干嘛骗自己以为你不需要时间表？你需要。到后来，更有经验，养成了控制时间的习惯以后，你可能就不需要了。当然日程表只是第一步。一旦把这个准备好了，必然坚持，忠实遵循。得推开那些不断出现的诱惑，否则你的日程表就没用了。只有让日程表起作用，你才能用它支配时间。
