How many times have you complained, “There aren’t enough hours in the day!”?
“一天多少個小時都不夠用！“這句話你抱怨過幾次呢？

Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated from University of Cambridge, probably disagrees.
畢業(yè)于劍橋大學(xué)的視頻博主荷莉·加布麗·懷特或許并不贊同這一點。

After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. It records her daily life on campus. Now she has more than 270,000 subscribers to her channel.
自2016年8月入學(xué)后，懷特便在視頻分享網(wǎng)站油管上開設(shè)了一個頻道。頻道中記錄著她的校園日常生活。目前，已有超過27萬人訂閱。

In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In between, she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online.
視頻中，這位22歲的大學(xué)生每天早上6：30起床，晚上10：30睡覺。在此期間，她均衡地安排著自己學(xué)習(xí)、做飯、清掃房間以及運動的時間。有時她會抽時間和朋友見面，和家人在線聊天。

A similar case happened to college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1:00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week, the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day by pre-reading his textbooks at 6:40 am, and ends with a summary of his studies. When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule, he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.
一些中國大學(xué)生的作息也是如此。幾個月前，清華大學(xué)的官方微博曬出了一些學(xué)生的計劃表、學(xué)習(xí)筆記和日程表的照片。其中一位本科生將自己的日程安排地相當(dāng)緊湊。他通常在凌晨1點上床睡覺，早上6點就起床了。盡管每周只上10節(jié)課，但其余的時間都被他安排得滿滿當(dāng)當(dāng)。他早上6：40預(yù)習(xí)課本，開始新的一天，并在一天的最后總結(jié)自己的學(xué)習(xí)情況。當(dāng)他覺得這樣的作息難以堅持時，他會給自己寫點自我鼓勵的話，比如：“你是最棒的“、”加油“。

Both students’ hard work has certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates; and the Chinese undergraduate won a first-class scholarship four years in a row.
兩位學(xué)生的刻苦努力自然都獲得了回報。懷特在她的152名同學(xué)中名列前茅，而那位中國本科生則連續(xù)四年都獲得了一等獎學(xué)金。

The two have something in common. They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as much into the schedule as they can. More importantly, they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.
這兩人有著共同之處。他們都制定了規(guī)律的作息，早起學(xué)習(xí)。他們都盡可能地在日程表中擠出時間來。更重要的是，他們都學(xué)會了高效充分的時間管理方法。

Some may wonder how they can avoid exhaustion, stress and burnout.
一些人或許會想知道，他們?nèi)绾文鼙苊馄?、壓力以及過度勞累。

White’s video Time Management & Organization Tips All Students Should Know may provide an answer. She advises to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. We should also know how to avoid and release stress because, “Mental health is as important as our physical health.” To White, dancing is something she takes as a reward after completing everything on the list. Then enough sleep to rest her body and get ready to do a good job the next day.
懷特的視頻“每個學(xué)生都應(yīng)該了解的時間管理與安排秘訣”或許提供了答案。她建議我們按順序在待辦事項列表上寫下自己的任務(wù)。我們還應(yīng)當(dāng)了解如何避免和釋放壓力，因為“心理健康和生理健康同樣重要?！睂烟囟?，跳舞是她在完成列表上的所有任務(wù)后給自己的一種獎勵。然后她會通過充足的睡眠來放松身體，做好準(zhǔn)備第二天繼續(xù)好好干。

Indeed, things must be carefully planned before we act, then “twice as much can be accomplished with half the effort”, as the old Chinese saying goes.
的確，我們要在詳細(xì)規(guī)劃之后，才能做出行動，這樣才能像那句老話所說的那樣：“事半功倍”。
