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.

　　这里有几个简单可行的主意让你的生活更有规划，帮你节省时间，让你变得更聪明、更富有，因为你会有更多的时间来学习。

　　1. Make Lists

　　制定计划

　　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 lt for the really important things, like studying.

　　计划对任何事情都很有用：去杂货店、办事情、做作业。大脑中腾出一块儿，列一张表写上自己要完成的事。买一个笔记本，按日期写计划，就更好了。每件你要记住的事都在笔记本里。当我们试着仅凭脑力记住所有事，随着年龄增长，脑内的灰质递减，记住的正经事就越少，比如学习。

　　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 prer to work. Then be sure to use it!

　　如果你是手机的死忠(谁不是呢?!)，你会找到很多帮助你规划自己的应用。找一个适合自己的，以自己喜欢的方式运用这个应用。要确保你能够遵照这个应用的要求。

　　Make lists, keep them with you, whether on paper or in your phone or on your tablet, and revel in thesatisfaction 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!

　　制定计划，无论计划在纸上、手机里、便签本上，把计划带在身边，沉浸在做完一项要求就划掉一项的快感中。还有一种附加的快感是添上一项你刚完成的任务，然后划掉它!

　　2. Run Errands Counter-Clockwise

　　逆向思维完成任务

　　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。现在你有一张任务清单要完成，用最省时的方式调整顺序。比如你正在开车，向右转可以避免很多灯红灯的时间。

　　It also saves time because you’re not waiting to turn lt through busy traffic lanes. Right turns in, right turns out, counter-clockwise. Fast and easy. You will cut many minutes off your errands. Promise.

　　这还省去了向左转进拥挤交通的时间。向右转进车道，再一直向右转直至回到原路，用逆向思维解决问题，简单又快捷。我向你保证你可以省去很多时间。

　　3. Think of Your Minutes as Money

　　视时间为金钱

　　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.

　　把时间视为金钱，看看你愿意在无关紧要的事情上花多少钱。你可以按照你现用的工资水平进行换算，或者任意想一个数字。两种方法都适用。

　　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.

　　如果你不确定这项活动是否值得，算一算这项活动的成本几何。看电视突然变得很昂贵，金钱可以让你离毕业以及梦想的工作更近。选择权在你手中。改变你利用时间的方式你就会拥有更多的花在让你的未来更美好的时间。
