Time management is the process of planning how much time to spend on activities. Good time management allows you to complete more in a shorter period of time, lowers the stress and leads to success.

1.

Make a plan

The best way to achieve success and keep your life in order is to make a plan.

2.

Give full attention

Get away from your phone and computer. Although they are important to daily communication, they can take up much more attention than they deserve. Consider shutting them off completely as you work on a task that requires your full attention.

3.

Learn to say “no”

Many business leaders put a lot of their success down through simply saying “no”. That is, they put their efforts in the few areas that are really important and have the courage to say no to everything else.

4.

Give yourself a break

Taking breaks is good for your brain. Don't be hard on yourself: you will actually perform better if you take breaks and find a hobby besides study. Only an active brain can solve problems better.

5.

A.Hope above suggestions will be helpful in your study and daily life.

B.For example, if you do your homework at night, you'd better turn off the phone in order to be more careful.

C.What you achieve importantly depends on the way you manage your time. Here is some advice on how to better manage your time.

D.Those asking for your involvement would be more disappointed if you unwisely agreed to do something, but then failed to finish it. So, be honest with yourself and others.

E.This starts as a list of all the tasks that are important for achieving your goals. Write them down, and don't just depend on your memory: it's not as good as you think it is.
