Background Information1Personal Time ManagementTime management strategies are often associated with the recommendation to set personal goals. These goals are recorded and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. For individual tasks or for goals, an importance rating may be established, deadlines may be set, and priorities assigned. This process results in a plan with a task list or a schedule or calendar of activities. A task list (also to-do list or things-to-do) is a list of tasks to be completed, such as chores or steps toward completing a project. Task lists are often prioritized.幻灯片15Objectives10An early advocate of “ABC” prioritization was Alan Lakein. In his system “A” items were the most important (“A-1” the most important within that group), “B” next most important, “C” least important. A particular method of applying the ABC method assigns “A” to tasks to be done within a day, “B” a week, and “C” a month.(From Wikipedia)幻灯片16Objectives2Basic Tips on Time Management for Students Every student spends a lot of time studying and almost every one of them would like their studying to be more efficient. Here are some basic tips to manage your time better when studying.Minimize Distractions Eliminate everything that might be a distraction in the area where you are studying. Make sure theres nothing nearby that might be tempting. If you love surfing the net, turn off the internet while you study. If you are totally into video games, discipline yourself to only play them after you have finished your studying as a reward. Dont put the video games anywhere near your study area. 幻灯片17Objectives12 Watching TV whilst studying is a very bad idea and makes your studying really ineffective. You need to minimize all distractions and TV is a big one even if its just on in the background. Time of Day for Study Studying at the same time each and every day helps. Most people find it more effective to study during the day rather than at night, because they can concentrate better. But if you are a real night owl, then you may find that your ability to concentrate at night is just fine. Total 100% Focus for at Least 40 Minutes at a Time 幻灯片18Objectives12One of the most important things you can do to study effectively is to focus totally on your studying for at least 40 minutes at a time. Studying for 10 minutes here and there just will not cut it. Instead of quick little snippets, make sure you get in at least 40 or 50 minutes of total focus. While youre doing this, dont let yourself get distracted with anything else! Just focus intensely for the entire time. When you are finished, then relax, and play a video game or watch TV to reward yourself. You also dont want to study for too long at a time, because your brain gets fatigued and after a while it needs a rest. 90 minutes is probably the maximum you should go before taking a 10-minute break, and usually 60 minutes is enough. 幻灯片19Objectives3Some Other Tips Traveling time make good use of your time traveling to and from school each day. This adds up to a lot of time and you can use it to get in some extra studying or reading. What do you do with your time between classes? Do you use this time productively or do you waste it? Sitting closer to the front of class tends to make it easier to concentrate. These are a few basic tips for effective studying. Apply these ideas when youre studying and soon you will see a big improvement in how you manage your time and your study productivity.(From )幻灯片20Part IListeningPart IListening Listen to the upcoming short talk and complete the related statements below accordingly.

Hard to imagine, isnt it? We humans may have invented time, but weve never been able to actually create it. Technology cant help us gain more time for ourselves either because in fact time is not something we have ever had. So its not something we can either gain or lose. “Time” as we know it results from our impression of the span of our lives. Because time can not be created, only spent, we humans have evolved into time-conscious beings. This幻灯片23sensitivity often leads us, unfortunately, to the feeling that “time flies,” that too much time has passed by before we know it. You know why? Its partly because we value life and dont want to see it end. But its also partly because our living pace is getting quicker and quicker with every passing year. By that I mean we are living faster and faster. As a result, most of us are becoming multitaskers we write emails while talking on the phone, eat while driving, or cook dinner with the TV on, etc. You didnt think youre the only one doing that kind of stuff, did you? For sure, no: we are all just the same. So today we are going to learn to manage time.
