时间管理

大学基础

预算学校时间

  • 每一个课时,计划在课外花两个小时学习时间。
  • 12学时= 36学时。
  • The best way to juggle everything is to create a manageable and realistic schedule or time budget.
  • 这个页面包含了非常棒的模板,以及分配任务优先级的方法。

在校打工

  • 大多数弗吉尼亚大学的学生如果不是全职的,至少也是兼职的。
  • 诚实地对待自己在学校、工作和生活之间的平衡。 Most people do not expect someone who must work 40+ hours a week to also take 15-18 credits each semester (which totals 45-54 hours of school work each week). 这就像做两份全职工作!
  • 这通常是不可持续的,对你的身心健康也没有好处。 It is better to pace it out and succeed semester to semester, rather than overload yourself and fail.

如何安排

计划的好处

  • Scheduling helps you avoid one of the great time wasters, procrastination, because it gives you a set time to accomplish the task.
  • 日程安排能让你及时了解情况,避免最后一分钟死记硬背。
  • Scheduling things that you need to do actually creates time to do things that you want to do.
  • 计划能让你掌控一切。 你是自己日程安排的创造者。 Set your priorities and times to do things.
  • 有计划可以节省时间。 Your schedule is a guide, telling you what to do next and assuring you that everything will get done. Studying the same subject at the same time and in the same place programs your mind to concentrate on that subject, and you will complete your studying more quickly and more efficiently.

安排专业技巧

  • 充分利用白天的时间。 Research shows that each hour used for study during the day is equal to one and a half hours at night.
  • Study before a class in which discussion is required or pop quizzes are frequently given.
  • 课后尽快学习,最好是一下课就学习。 You can enhance your retention and understanding by studying right after class. When scheduling classes, allow for this time.
  • 每天在同一时间学习。
  • 留出足够的学习时间。 The rule of thumb is that you should study two hours for every hour you are in class. 从这里开始,并相应地调整你的时间表。 Some classes will need more than two hours, others will need less.
  • 间隔学习时间。 A study period of fifty to ninety minutes at a time is probably most efficient. 之后,休息10到15分钟。 Longer study periods often become counterproductive. 利用小块的时间。 Five minutes here and there can add up to large amounts of time. Note cards make a good portable study guide that is easy to use while you wait for someone, stand in line, ride the bus, or any other free minutes.
  • 根据优先顺序列出活动。
  • 在你的黄金时间学习。 Schedule your hardest subject at you most alert time, and schedule less demanding tasks during the day when you are less productive.
  • 为灵活性留出计划外的时间。
  • 分析你对时间的利用。

组织

  • 使用作业笔记本或计划表。
  • 把这个带到每堂课,并在截止日期前记录下每项作业。
  • If the instructor hands out a course syllabus at the beginning of the term, mark when assignments are due on the syllabus and your planner.
  • 使用三环笔记本做课堂笔记。
  • 整理和保存电脑工作。 When you are doing a search, bookmark the pages that you want to come back to. It will save time looking for the information you want to use.
  • 保留退回的试卷、测验和测试。 Have different colored pocket folders for each class, and keep all returned papers, quizzes, and tests in these folders. Old tests help you study for future tests and finals. They are also helpful if there is a question about an assignment, you can double check by contacting this person.
  • 获取同学的电话号码。 Make sure you have a phone number or an e-mail for at least one person in each class. If you miss class or have a question about an assignment, you can double check by contacting this person.
  • 保持学习空间整洁有序。 It will save a lot of time if you can easily locate materials you need: i.e. dictionary, calculator, thesaurus, paper etc.
  • Before you go to bed each night, get out everything that you will need for the following day - if you need to remember to do something in the morning, write yourself a note.
