自主学习,快乐成长
大家好,我是云南翰文教育集团国际部的张景行。在我踏上出国留学的旅程之前,我不是大家眼中那种典型的优秀学生,因为种种原因甚至滋生了一些厌学情绪,成为了不少老师眼中的“差生”。
Hello everyone, my name is Jack Zhang from the International Department of Yunnan Hanwen Education Group. Before I embarked on the journey of studying abroad, I was not a typical excellent student in everyone's eyes. Because of various reasons, I even bred some weariness of learning and became a "bad student" in the eyes of many teachers.

机缘巧合,高中毕业之后,我有机会前往美国南伊利诺伊大学攻读国际研究学,感受到了不同的教育氛围之后的我,就像“开窍”了一样,走上了“逆袭”的道路。由于父母和学校对我的管理政策较为宽松,这种信任反而促使了我萌生了更强的自律感,让我明白了自律使我自由和快乐。
Coincidentally, after graduating from high school, I had the opportunity to study international studies at the University of Southern Illinois in the United States. After experiencing different educational atmospheres, I was like "enlightened" and embarked on the " counterattack " journey. Because my parents and school have applied loose management policies for me,this kind of trust has promoted me to have a stronger sense of self-discipline and made me understand that self-discipline gives my freedom and happiness.

时间管理“小达人”美国大学那种自主学习的校园氛围深深地吸引了我。让我逐渐从“厌学”转化成了自愿学习,并且让我学会了管理时间,于是在大学期间,我不仅辅修了经济学、政治科学、东亚研究学和日语等四个专业,还积极参加校内外各类活动,并曾担任南伊利诺伊大学中国学生会的主席。
I was deeply attracted by the campus atmosphere of self-study in American universities. I gradually changed from being tired of learning into voluntary learning, and I learned to manage time as well. So, during my college life, I not only sub-majored in Economics, Political Science, East Asian Studies and Japanese, but also actively participated in various activities inside and outside the University, and served as the president of the Chinese Student Association of the Southern Illinois University.

在中国的时候经常听到朋友们的调侃说我的学习方式是小考小玩,大考大玩,但是到了美国之后我才是真正做到了劳逸结合。学校支持学生的个性化发展,在这样的背景下,我能更好地计划自己的课程和学习时间,也能有更多的时间参加派对,结交朋友,最重要的是我能够更高效的完成学习。
When I was in China, I often heard the teasing from my friends that my learning method was to “study during playing”, but after I arrived in the United States, I really achieved a combination of work and entertainment. The school supports the personalized development for students. In this context, I could better plan my own courses and study time, have more time to attend parties, make friends, and most importantly, I can complete my study more efficiently.

学会了时间管理之后,不仅在学校我能做到很好的规划自己的时间,即使是在寒暑假期间,我也尽最大可能的高效运用我的时间参加各种活动,积累经验。通过我自己的故事,我想告诉大家,出国留学开拓视野是一件非常有意义的事情。我们生活在21世纪,就一定要享受全球化的世界的红利,让自己尽可能多的了解这个世界,适应这个世界,成为管理时间和生活的“小达人”。
After learning time management, not only in school I can do a good plan of my own time, even during the winter and summer holidays, I also try my best to use my time to participate in various activities and accumulate experience. Through my own story, I want to tell you that it is a very meaningful thing to study abroad and broaden our horizons. Living in the 21st century, we must enjoy the dividends of a globalized world, so that we can understand the world as much as possible, adapt to the world, and become the master on organizing time and life.

时间管理小贴士01
设置最后期限。每一段学习经历都有其特有的任务、目标及要求,不断地为自己设置截止日期,敦促自己不断向前。当然,跨入社会以后,学习会变得没有截止日期,完全成为一种自主的习惯,为自己设定期限,无疑是提升学习和工作效率的一个好方法。我们经常会犯的错误之一就是对自己说:“它会完成的。”这种说法不够具体。什么时候完成?今天?明天?还是一周后?只要没有截止时间,人们就会倾向于晚一点完成。所以,设置明确的截止期限,让紧迫感和压力成为你勇往直前的动力。
Set a deadline. Each learning experience has its own unique tasks, objectives and requirements. Constantly setting a deadline for ourselves, and it will motivate us to move forward. Of course, after entering the society, there will be no deadline for learning, and it will become an independent habit. Setting a deadline for yourself is undoubtedly a good way to improve the efficiency of learning and work. One of the mistakes we often make is to say to ourselves, "it will be done." This is not specific enough. When will it be finished? today? tomorrow? Or in a week? As long as there is no deadline, people tend to finish later. So set clear deadlines and let urgency and stress drive you forward.
02
在你的日程安排中留出时间来处理计划外的事情。时间管理的一个悖论是,你必须要为意外事件留出一些时间。生活不像工业流水线那样运作,总会有意外发生。因此,请在制定日程安排时注意这一点,每天留出一些时间用来应对意外。
Make time in your schedule to deal with the unexpected. One of the paradoxes of time management is that you have to set aside some time for unexpected events. Life doesn't run like an industrial assembly line. There will always be accidents. Therefore, please pay attention to this when making the schedule, and set aside some time every day to deal with accidents.
03
为每项活动设定时间分配,并坚持下去。除非绝对必要,否则永远不要设置超过30分钟的活动,人的专注时间非常有限,活动、会议、电话、咖啡聊天,所有这些都可能会变成时间黑洞,没有终点的活动、会议、电话可以永远进行下去,没有叫停的咖啡聊天可能会占用你整个下午。
Set a time allocation for each activity and stick to it. Never set up a meeting longer than 30 minutes unless absolutely necessary. Meetings, phone calls, coffee chats, all of which may become black holes in time. Meetings without an end point can go on forever. Coffee chats without a stop may take up the whole afternoon.
