Time treats everyone fairly that we all have 24 hours per day. Some of us are capable to make good use of time whilesome find it hard to do so.
Knowing how to manage them is essential in our life.Take myself as an example. When I was still a senior high student, I was fully occupied with my studies. Therefore, Ihardly had spare time to have fun or develop my hobbies.
But things were changed after I entered university. I got morefree time than ever before. But ironically, I found it difficult to adjust this kind of brand-new school life and there was nosuch thing called time management on my mind.
It was not until the second year that I realized I had wasted my wholeyear doing nothing. I could have taken up a Spanish course. I could have read ten books about the stories of successfulpeople.
I could have applied for a part-time job to earn some working experiences. But I didn’t spend my time on any ofthem. I felt guilty whenever I looked back to the moments that I just sat around doing nothing.
It’s said that better late than never. At least I had the consciousness that I should stop wasting my time. Making up mymind is the first step for me to learn to manage my time. Next, I wrote a timetable, setting some targets that I had to finisheach day.
For instance, on Monday, I must read two pieces of news and review all the lessons that I have learnt on thatday. By the way, the daily plan that I made was flexible. If there’s something unexpected that I had to finish first, I wouldreduce the time for resting or delay my target to the next day.
Also, I would try to achieve those targets ahead of time that Iplaned so that I could reserve some more time to relax or do something out of my plan. At the beginning, it’s kind of difficult to stick to the plan.

时间公平对待每个人，我们每天都有 24 小时。我们中的一些人能够充分利用时间，而另一些人则很难做到。知道如何管理它们在我们的生活中至关重要。以我自己为例。当我还是一名高中生的时候，我完全忙于学习。
因此，我几乎没有空闲时间去玩乐或发展我的爱好。但进入大学后，情况发生了变化。我的空闲时间比以往任何时候都多。但讽刺的是，我发现这种全新的学校生活很难适应，我的脑海中也没有所谓的时间管理。直到第二年，我才意识到我浪费了整整一年的时间。
我本来可以学习西班牙语课程的。我本可以读十本关于成功人士故事的书。我本可以申请一份兼职工作来获得一些工作经验。但我没有把时间花在其中任何一个上。每当我回想起我只是坐着无所事事的时刻时，我都会感到内疚。据说迟到总比没有好。
至少我意识到我应该停止浪费我的时间。下定决心是我学会管理时间的第一步。接下来，我写了一个时间表，设定了我每天必须完成的一些目标。例如，星期一，我必须阅读两条新闻，并复习我那天学到的所有课程。顺便说一句，我制定的每日计划很灵活。
如果有什么意想不到的事情必须先完成，我会减少休息时间或将目标推迟到第二天。另外，我会尽量提前实现我计划的那些目标，这样我就可以保留更多的时间来放松或做一些我计划之外的事情。
