6 . Benjamin Franklin clearly knew how to get things done. After scanning the long list of Benjamin Franklin’s achievements, one can only come to one conclusion that the American man probably never had a wasted day in his life. When he was 84 years old, he became a successful author, printer, politician, postmaster, inventor, musician, and diplomat.

There’s much we can learn from Benjamin Franklin’s work habits and opinions on life that can increase our own productivity. Here are some ways Franklin overcame lazy, wasted days.

Start a group and share knowledge. When Franklin was 21, he was a struggling printer in Philadelphia. To increase his connections and to learn more about his industry, he created a group. The group was in great need of books, but books were expensive. Franklin helped start a library where books were bought and lent to members. This sharing of knowledge, experience, and connections helped Franklin become a famous and respected printer in Philadelphia.

Attack opportunities. “To succeed,” Franklin wrote, “jump as quickly at opportunities as you can.” We can all agree, but when an opportunity comes we often look the other way. It’s because the opportunity isn’t dressed the way we expect. We often think that the opportunity was only in the form of a golden egg or a million-dollar lottery ticket or a new job offer. But more often than not, the opportunity comes in smaller, less beautiful packages.

Time is something in short supply. Franklin wrote “ Lost time is never found again”. This may sound like it came from the pen of a poet, but it’s really an inspirational call to action. Franklin worked, created, and lived knowing that time is scarce. He never put off his work.

While Franklin was an able inventor we can be sure that his notebook contained a few unsuccessful ideas. Franklin wrote, “ Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.”

8 . Making the Most of the Body Clock

Want to know the best time to do your homework and study for your exams? Then just make the most of your body clock, and you can work more efficiently (效率高地) and more happily.     1    

Morning

It is reported that in the morning your body can take fatty foods more easily, so don’t worry too much about having a big breakfast.     2     So if you need to go to the doctor’s for an injection (注射), this is the best time to go!

Have you ever got the idea that the best time for the brain to work well is between 10:00 am and noon? Therefore, that’s the time when you should be listening to your teachers in full attention.

Lunch-time

Between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm is the most suitable time for eating. The body clock tells your body to help you digest (消化) your food at this time, so you have less chance of suffering from stomachache.

Early Afternoon

    3     There is a slowdown in the speed your brain works, so it’s not the best time to solve difficult maths problems.

Late Afternoon

After three o’clock, the body clock starts to tell your body to work again.     4     So why not try to start and finish your homework during this time period?

Late Evening

Between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm is the time people are most likely to feel lonely.     5     Another problem students have at night time is difficulty in sleeping. If you want a good night’s sleep, just take a warm bath and don’t do any exercise before you sleep.

A．Everyone’s body clock is slightly different.

B．From 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm your body is at its fittest.

10 . Quick Tips for Better Time Management

Are you a good time manager? If your answer is “no”, here are some tips on how to be a better time manager:

•Create a daily plan. Plan your day before it starts. The plan gives you a good description of how the day will go on. That way, you will be ready to deal with most of the things you meet.    1    

•Focus. Are you multi­tasking so much that you’re just not getting anything done?       2     Only focus on what you’re doing. You’ll be more efficient that way.

•Stay away from your time wasters. What takes your time away from your work? WeChat talking? Email checking?     3     You can also make it hard to check them — remove them from your browser quick links (浏览器快速链接).

•    4     Don’t take on more than you can deal with. For the distractions (令人分心的事) that come in when you’re doing other things, give a no or do it later.

•Decide to be early. When you prepare to be on time, you’ll either be on time or late.     5    However, if you decide to be early, you’ll most likely to be on time. For appointments, try to be early. For your deadlines, meet them earlier than required.

A．Learn to say “No”.

B．It is really a waste of time.

C．Stop checking them so often.

D．Most of the time you’ll be late.
