Ways to Take Control of Your Time

Take control of your time. Happy people feel in control of their time, which helps to set goals and break them into daily aims. Here’s how.

Make a to-do list every day.

Put the most important tasks at the top, even if they’re things you’re dreading(恐惧). 【1】

Include things you want to do on your list too, so you have items you’re looking forward to. Try motivating yourself with a reward if you get to everything on your list.

Create a particular study time.

Set up a time devoted only to studying or homework. 【2】 Don’t check email or surf the Web (except when you need to for the work you’re doing) during this time either.

Budget your time.

Figure out how much time you usually spend on your activities and then create a weekly schedule to follow. 【3】 And don’t forget to schedule time to relax.

Don’t get switched.

If you find yourself wasting time on unimportant things, stop, check your to-do list and get back to what’s at the top. 【4】 If that’s the problem, check with your teacher to clear things up so you can get moving.

【5】

That way, if you find yourself with extra time—while on the train or bus or waiting for an appointment—you can get something done.

A. Don’t be afraid to say no.

B. Keep your work with you.

C. Make sure to deal with them first.

D. Instead, find a time that works for both of you.

E. Determine how much free time you have before you add any commitments.

F. Shut off your phone and respond to calls or texts when your work is finished.

G. Maybe you’re delaying because you’re not sure how to move forward on a school project.
