These three simple ideas will help you be more organized, save you time and help you get smarter and richer because you'll have more time to study.
這里有幾個簡單可行的主意讓你的生活更有規(guī)劃，幫你節(jié)省時間，讓你變得更聰明、更富有，因為你會有更多的時間來學(xué)習。
1. Make Lists
制定計劃
Lists are great for just about everything: groceries, errands, homework assignments. Free up some brain space by putting everything you need to get done on a list. Better yet, buy a small notebook and keep a running, dated list. Everything you need to remember goes in the book. When we try to remember everything with brainpower alone, especially the older we get, the less gray matter we seem to have left for the really important things, like studying.
計劃對任何事情都很有用：去雜貨店、辦事情、做作業(yè)。大腦中騰出一塊兒，列一張表寫上自己要完成的事。買一個筆記本，按日期寫計劃，就更好了。每件你要記住的事都在筆記本里。當我們試著僅憑腦力記住所有事，隨著年齡增長，腦內(nèi)的灰質(zhì)遞減，記住的正經(jīng)事就越少，比如學(xué)習。
If you are a smartphone fan (who isn't?!), you'll find lots of apps to help you stay organized. Find one that fits your style and works the way you prefer to work. Then be sure to use it!
如果你是手機的死忠（誰不是呢？�。�，你會找到很多幫助你規(guī)劃自己的應(yīng)用。找一個適合自己的，以自己喜歡的方式運用這個應(yīng)用。要確保你能夠遵照這個應(yīng)用的要求。
Make lists, keep them with you, whether on paper or in your phone or on your tablet, and revel in the satisfaction of crossing items off when you’ve completed them. There's extra satisfaction in adding something to your list that you've just completed so you can cross it off!
制定計劃，無論計劃在紙上、手機里、便簽本上，把計劃帶在身邊，沉浸在做完一項要求就劃掉一項的快感中。還有一種附加的快感是添上一項你剛完成的任務(wù)，然后劃掉它！
2. Run Errands Counter-Clockwise
逆向思維完成任務(wù)
What? You'll see. Now that you have a list of errands to run, organize them in a way that saves the most time. Assuming you’re driving, making right turns eliminates a lot of wasted time waiting for red lights.
什么意思？往下看你就明白�，F(xiàn)在你有一張任務(wù)清單要完成，用最省時的方式調(diào)整順序。比如你正在開車，向右轉(zhuǎn)可以避免很多燈紅燈的時間。
It also saves time because you’re not waiting to turn left through busy traffic lanes. Right turns in, right turns out, counter-clockwise. Fast and easy. You will cut many minutes off your errands. Promise.
這還省去了向左轉(zhuǎn)進擁擠交通的時間。向右轉(zhuǎn)進車道，再一直向右轉(zhuǎn)直至回到原路，用逆向思維解決問題，簡單又快捷。我向你保證你可以省去很多時間。
3. Think of Your Minutes as Money
視時間為金錢
Assign a monetary value to your time, and watch how much less of it you're willing to waste on unimportant stuff. You can do this using your current income or make up a completely imaginary number. Either way works.
把時間視為金錢，看看你愿意在無關(guān)緊要的事情上花多少錢。你可以按照你現(xiàn)用的工資水平進行換算，或者任意想一個數(shù)字。兩種方法都適用。
When you’re not sure if an activity is worthwhile, calculate how much it’ll cost you to do it. Watching TV suddenly becomes very expensive, money that could take you closer to graduation and your dream job. The choice is yours. Change the way you manage your time and you'll have more of it to spend in ways that make your future brighter.
如果你不確定這項活動是否值得，算一算這項活動的成本幾何�？措娨曂蝗蛔兊煤馨嘿F，金錢可以讓你離畢業(yè)以及夢想的工作更近。選擇權(quán)在你手中。改變你利用時間的方式你就會擁有更多的花在讓你的未來更美好的時間。
