Do you ever wish you have more time? Everyone gets the same amount of time each day. 【小题1】 As a popular saying says, “Work smarter, not harder.”

The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities(优先权). 【小题2】 Also, consider whether or not they are urgent(紧要的) if they need to be done right away. It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren’t urgent, so make time for them.

Decide ahead of time what you’re going to do at certain times each day. Schedule time not only to meet people but also to do things alone. Then you can make sure everything gets done.

【小题3】 Are you smarter in the morning, afternoon or evening? Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good, and save easy ones for the times you’re tired.

Write down what you need to do and when. I keep two to-do lists: one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I’m working on. 【小题4】 And I don’t get discouraged by looking at a long list of items I can’t finish. I focus on the shorter list of each day’s tasks.

【小题5】 When someone wants to give you a task, think carefully. Is it really important enough to spend your valuable time on? Could someone else do it instead?

In the end, using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it.
