[03:53.30]Tim management
[03:56.36]There is no mystery about managing time.
[04:00.93]Everyone has 24 hours each day and 168 hours each week to eat,
[04:08.08]sleep,work,relax,exercise,attend classes and study.
[04:15.74]There is nothing magical 4 about getting the most from these hours;
[04:21.17]it just takes planning.
[04:24.62]But time management does require self-discipline
[04:30.39]and control until it becomes an everyday habit.
[04:34.83]Plans and schedules for managing time are useless if one does not follow them.
[04:41.50]The following are some of the highest quality personal time management skills.
[04:47.97]These are essential 5 skills for effective people:
[04:53.22]1.You should set aside some time to study.
[04:58.50]Time passes away quickly while you are playing.
[05:03.18]2.You should make sure you concentrate 6 as much time
[05:08.53]and energy as possible on the right thing.
[05:12.97]If you have many jobs in front of you,
[05:16.92]try to do them one at a time and always do the most important job first.
[05:23.68]3.If it's possible,you should study at the same time every day.
[05:30.53]A fixed 7 time will make it easier to follow the schedule.
