How many times have you complained， “There aren’t enough hours in the day！”？
Holly Gabrielle White， a vlogger who graduated from University of Cambridge， probably disagrees.
After she began school in August 2016， 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.
A similar case happened to college students in China. 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”.
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.
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.
Some may wonder how they can avoid exhaustion， stress and burnout.
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.
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.
“一天多少个小时都不够用！”这句话你抱怨着说过几次呢？
毕业于剑桥大学的短视频博主霍莉·加布里埃尔·怀特或许并不赞同这一观点。
这名22岁的大学生自2016年8月入学以后，每天早上6：30起床，晚上10：30上床睡觉。在此期间，她合理地安排自己学习、做饭、清扫房间以及运动的时间。有时她会抽时间和朋友见面，和家人在线聊天。
一些中国大学生的作息时间也与怀特的作息时间相似。清华大学的官方微博曾晒出一些学生的计划表、学习笔记和日程表的照片。其中一名本科生将自己的日程安排得相当紧凑。他通常在凌晨1点上床睡觉，早上6点起床。尽管他每周只上10节课，但其余的时间都被他安排得满满当当。他早上6：40预习课本，开始新的一天，并在一天的学习结束时总结自己的学习情况。当他感觉到难以坚持这样的作息时，他会给自己写点鼓励的话，比如“你是最棒的”“加油”。
这两名学生的刻苦努力自然都获得了回报。怀特的成绩在她的152名同学中名列前茅，而这名中国本科生则连续四年获得一等奖学金。
这两人之间有一些共同之处。他们都制定了规律的作息时间并且早起學习。他们都尽可能地把时间花在完成日程表中的任务上。更重要的是，他们都学会了高效、充分地管理时间。
一些人或许想知道，他们是如何避免疲劳、压力以及过度劳累这些问题的。
怀特的视频“每个学生都应该了解的时间管理与安排秘诀”或许能告诉我们答案。她建议我们按顺序在待办事项列表上写下自己的任务。我们还应当了解如何避免和释放压力，因为心理健康和生理健康同样重要。对怀特而言，跳舞是她在完成列表上的所有任务后给自己的一种奖励。此外，她会保持充足的睡眠来放松身体，准备好第二天继续好好学习。
的确，我们要在认真地制定任务之后，才能做出行动，这样才能像中国一句老话所说的那样：事半功倍。
