Do you know the 4 principles for effective time management when studying in the United States?

Studying abroad, studying in the United States, the four major principles of effective time management when studying in the United States! When studying in the United States, it is also very important to manage your own time. Therefore, it is very important for students to master how to manage their own time. Below, the editor of the American Higher Education Network's study abroad editor will explain to you the four major principles of effective time management when studying in the United States. 1. Efficiency Because when I went to interview these talented people, the "first principle of time management" they mentioned invariably was: efficiency. In the process of reading cases every day, I also discovered this simple fact: I can read the same long case for 3 hours, or 40 minutes to 1 hour. The difference lies in the efficiency of the brain's operation. When the brain is tired of working, it starts to feel sleepy/dazzled/distracted when facing the case, so it takes a long time to finish reading it, but you may not get much into it. Later, I learned the lesson, and when I came back from three classes, my brain was too tired to work anymore, so I simply slept for half an hour and an hour. When I woke up, I felt like a good man again, and I was buzzing when I looked at the case. In the end, the time spent was still short. 1 To maintain energy, of course you must sleep well. When you work continuously for too long during the day and find that your brain efficiency is declining, you might as well relax or take a nap to recharge, and the efficiency curve will often go up again. 2. Improve physical strength. Have you ever found that you get hungry quickly when you use your brain? It means that mental work is also quite physically demanding. Therefore, physical strength is the basis for how long the brain and body can continue to work efficiently. Make time and go to the gym. This is an investment in efficiency and must not be a loss. 3. Concentrate. Most things will be completed faster and better when you concentrate, so try to do only one thing at a time. Brainless things like copying and writing are not included in this category. In order to keep your brain thinking about one thing, you often need to be able to clear your mind - if you find that something is spinning around in your mind, you might as well write it down first, and then allocate another time to think about it again. 2. Set priorities. After making a list of things to do/want, the next step is to sort. Criteria for testing the effectiveness of sorting: When conflicts arise, you can simply abandon the lower priority ones. I am an ordinary person who is easily greedy. I often feel that I have to do this and not give up that. Observing the talented people around me, I found that many of the things my first reaction would be "How can I not do this", but they can confidently say that I won't do it. And this kind of giving up is very strategic. 3. Plan ahead. It’s not complicated to say, but it’s just a matter of taking something out and thinking about what you want to do before starting every day or every week. But I still can't think of doing it. So let’s talk about the disadvantages of not planning ahead. In addition to things that may just happen to pile up and cause you to be in a hurry, the most typical negative effect is actually: you never know where your time is spent. After a very busy week, I feel like I have done nothing. The reason is that if you don't clearly know what to do, it is easy to encounter what is what. So I dealt with whatever matter came up first. Anyway, I couldn't think of anything else that should be done. Then after a while, I discovered that I had not done any of the important things. The way I deal with this problem is when planning ahead: 1. Break down big things into specific tasks 2. Lock the time on the Calendar (schedule) for doing this thing. In this way, you force yourself to schedule time for important things first, and use the remaining time to deal with other things. Anyway, after a long time, you will find that you will not die if you really can't finish other things. On the other hand, procrastinating important things often has more serious consequences - there is always a reason why important things are "important". 4. Gain a sense of accomplishment. Finally, I would like to say that these excellent time managers have a common characteristic, that is, they all like to do lists and enjoy the sense of accomplishment of crossing off an item from the to do list. This pursuit of a sense of achievement itself is also the motivation for them to manage their own time. But this may not be everyone’s preferred lifestyle. This topic of life choices is too big. It is a life-long struggle for everyone, so we won’t go into it. But no matter what, these tips mentioned above should be helpful to the implementation process. The most important thing is to start doing it immediately, even if it is just any of them. It should all help you gain a richer, broader and less anxious life in the same 24 hours!
