自主學(xué)習(xí)，快樂成長

大家好，我是云南翰文教育集團國際部的張景行。在我踏上出國留學(xué)的旅程之前，我不是大家眼中那種典型的優(yōu)秀學(xué)生，因為種種原因甚至滋生了一些厭學(xué)情緒，成為了不少老師眼中的“差生”。

Hello everyone, my name is Jack Zhang from the International Department of Yunnan Hanwen Education Group. Before I embarked on the journey of studying abroad, I was not a typical excellent student in everyone's eyes. Because of various reasons, I even bred some weariness of learning and became a "bad student" in the eyes of many teachers.

機緣巧合，高中畢業(yè)之后，我有機會前往美國南伊利諾伊大學(xué)攻讀國際研究學(xué)，感受到了不同的教育氛圍之后的我，就像“開竅”了一樣，走上了“逆襲”的道路。由于父母和學(xué)校對我的管理政策較為寬松，這種信任反而促使了我萌生了更強的自律感，讓我明白了自律使我自由和快樂。

Coincidentally, after graduating from high school, I had the opportunity to study international studies at the University of Southern Illinois in the United States. After experiencing different educational atmospheres, I was like "enlightened" and embarked on the " counterattack " journey. Because my parents and school have applied loose management policies for me,this kind of trust has promoted me to have a stronger sense of self-discipline and made me understand that self-discipline gives my freedom and happiness.

時間管理“小達人”美國大學(xué)那種自主學(xué)習(xí)的校園氛圍深深地吸引了我。讓我逐漸從“厭學(xué)”轉(zhuǎn)化成了自愿學(xué)習(xí)，并且讓我學(xué)會了管理時間，于是在大學(xué)期間，我不僅輔修了經(jīng)濟學(xué)、政治科學(xué)、東亞研究學(xué)和日語等四個專業(yè)，還積極參加校內(nèi)外各類活動，并曾擔任南伊利諾伊大學(xué)中國學(xué)生會的主席。

I was deeply attracted by the campus atmosphere of self-study in American universities. I gradually changed from being tired of learning into voluntary learning, and I learned to manage time as well. So, during my college life, I not only sub-majored in Economics, Political Science, East Asian Studies and Japanese, but also actively participated in various activities inside and outside the University, and served as the president of the Chinese Student Association of the Southern Illinois University.

在中國的時候經(jīng)常聽到朋友們的調(diào)侃說我的學(xué)習(xí)方式是小考小玩，大考大玩，但是到了美國之后我才是真正做到了勞逸結(jié)合。學(xué)校支持學(xué)生的個性化發(fā)展，在這樣的背景下，我能更好地計劃自己的課程和學(xué)習(xí)時間，也能有更多的時間參加派對，結(jié)交朋友，最重要的是我能夠更高效的完成學(xué)習(xí)。

When I was in China, I often heard the teasing from my friends that my learning method was to “study during playing”, but after I arrived in the United States, I really achieved a combination of work and entertainment. The school supports the personalized development for students. In this context, I could better plan my own courses and study time, have more time to attend parties, make friends, and most importantly, I can complete my study more efficiently.

學(xué)會了時間管理之后，不僅在學(xué)校我能做到很好的規(guī)劃自己的時間，即使是在寒暑假期間，我也盡最大可能的高效運用我的時間參加各種活動，積累經(jīng)驗。通過我自己的故事，我想告訴大家，出國留學(xué)開拓視野是一件非常有意義的事情。我們生活在21世紀，就一定要享受全球化的世界的紅利，讓自己盡可能多的了解這個世界，適應(yīng)這個世界，成為管理時間和生活的“小達人”。

After learning time management, not only in school I can do a good plan of my own time, even during the winter and summer holidays, I also try my best to use my time to participate in various activities and accumulate experience. Through my own story, I want to tell you that it is a very meaningful thing to study abroad and broaden our horizons. Living in the 21st century, we must enjoy the dividends of a globalized world, so that we can understand the world as much as possible, adapt to the world, and become the master on organizing time and life.

時間管理小貼士01

設(shè)置最后期限。每一段學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷都有其特有的任務(wù)、目標及要求，不斷地為自己設(shè)置截止日期，敦促自己不斷向前。當然，跨入社會以后，學(xué)習(xí)會變得沒有截止日期，完全成為一種自主的習(xí)慣，為自己設(shè)定期限，無疑是提升學(xué)習(xí)和工作效率的一個好方法。我們經(jīng)常會犯的錯誤之一就是對自己說：“它會完成的?！边@種說法不夠具體。什么時候完成？今天？明天？還是一周后？只要沒有截止時間，人們就會傾向于晚一點完成。所以，設(shè)置明確的截止期限，讓緊迫感和壓力成為你勇往直前的動力。

Set a deadline. Each learning experience has its own unique tasks, objectives and requirements. Constantly setting a deadline for ourselves,  and it will motivate us to move forward. Of course, after entering the society, there will be no deadline for learning, and it will become an independent habit. Setting a deadline for yourself is undoubtedly a good way to improve the efficiency of learning and work. One of the mistakes we often make is to say to ourselves, "it will be done." This is not specific enough. When will it be finished? today? tomorrow? Or in a week? As long as there is no deadline, people tend to finish later. So set clear deadlines and let urgency and stress drive you forward.

02

在你的日程安排中留出時間來處理計劃外的事情。時間管理的一個悖論是，你必須要為意外事件留出一些時間。生活不像工業(yè)流水線那樣運作，總會有意外發(fā)生。因此，請在制定日程安排時注意這一點，每天留出一些時間用來應(yīng)對意外。

Make time in your schedule to deal with the unexpected. One of the paradoxes of time management is that you have to set aside some time for unexpected events. Life doesn't run like an industrial assembly line. There will always be accidents. Therefore, please pay attention to this when making the schedule, and set aside some time every day to deal with accidents.

03

為每項活動設(shè)定時間分配，并堅持下去。除非絕對必要，否則永遠不要設(shè)置超過30分鐘的活動，人的專注時間非常有限，活動、會議、電話、咖啡聊天，所有這些都可能會變成時間黑洞，沒有終點的活動、會議、電話可以永遠進行下去，沒有叫停的咖啡聊天可能會占用你整個下午。

Set a time allocation for each activity and stick to it. Never set up a meeting longer than 30 minutes unless absolutely necessary. Meetings, phone calls, coffee chats, all of which may become black holes in time. Meetings without an end point can go on forever. Coffee chats without a stop may take up the whole afternoon.
