It’s acknowledged that there are two biggest wealth in life: your talent and your time. Talent increases and time decreases. Our life, in a way, is trading time with talents. Wasting time means our time decreases while our talents do not increase. 31 . Here are some tips on arranging your time reasonably.
l Get to know how you use your usual time and make improvements
Take a week and write down what you do every 30 minutes every day and make it into categories. After a week’s recording, you’ll see which part consumes most of the time. 32 And you could come up with a revised timetable for your next week.
l Use fragment(碎片) times and “dead times”
By time recording, you’ll be amazed how much time you’ve wasted in waiting for the bus, queuing, walking, etc. You could really put that time to better use. 33 Use your fragment times for insignificant matters so that you could have more time for things that really matter.

There’re always things to be done every day, and the thing we could do is to identify whether it’s urgent or important. The things you need to do for the day rest only on the urgent as well as important things. Don’t become slaves to urgent but unimportant things.
l Use the 20%--80% principle
At the most efficient time, 20% of time could generate 80% of efficiency and on the contrary, at the least efficient time, 80% of the time could only generate 20% of efficiency. We should be doing important works at the most efficient time. That time period differs from person to person, 35 Yet, generally speaking, it’s round 10 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.
