Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 10 Managing Time Like a CEO

Stop enjoying the "electronic life" and spend some time studying
"An inch of time is an inch of gold", time is very precious to every student, only those who know how to cherish the scattered time, and only those who know how to squeeze time can manage time better and achieve better grades.

One day, Taotao saw her mother was reading a book about family education, the author was a well-known middle school teacher.The author narrates such a scene:
Once, I called a student home.Because this student was very inattentive at this stage and his academic performance dropped sharply, I wanted to call the student's parents to find out about the situation.Usually, I seldom take the initiative to contact parents, because I know that as long as the students arrive at the school, I should take on this responsibility. I will not trouble the parents easily, or call the parents here at every turn.

After I got through the phone, the student answered.I said, you ask your father to answer the phone.He just forwarded the call to another extension, a small gesture that got my attention.

After the parents answered the phone, I first asked about the child's recent situation, and then asked: "In your home, is there a phone in the child's room?"

The parent said, "Yes, it's an extension."

I asked again: "Is there a computer in the child's room?"

The parent said: "Yes."

I asked again, "What else is in his room?"

The parents said: "There is a TV, a computer, a telephone, and a mobile phone..."

Seeing this, Taotao said to her mother: "This child's life is so enviable!"

My mother said: "If you also live in such an environment, you will not have the current academic performance."

Mom is right, in an environment where computers, TVs and telephones are all available, who can study with peace of mind?The stage of studying is also a stage of being curious about everything in the world. If we don't restrain ourselves, we will unconsciously waste our time on it while enjoying the convenience brought to us by electronic products.The wonderful world outside is always tempting us, so that our study time is occupied by other things, and we have no time to study. Will good grades fall from the sky?
The ancients left many touching stories about hardworking and studious, such as chiseling the wall to steal light and Yingxue reading books are examples that have been passed down through the ages.Under poor and simple conditions, the ancients used moonlight, snow light and even chiseled walls to make use of the time of night, and their spirit is really touching.

Time, we don’t need to spend a penny to buy it. Everyone has it at their fingertips. However, time is the most precious thing. Whoever wins time may win good grades.We have to get out of the colorful electronic world and spend more time on learning, then our academic performance will have a significant improvement and improvement.

No one is a genius, it is impossible not to learn.Spend more time on study, ensure a certain amount of study time every day, and form a habit.To achieve good grades, mathematics, physics and chemistry are done by doing questions, English is learned by memorizing words and texts, and Chinese is learned by reading and writing more, all of which take time.

How to experience the relationship between time and grades?You might as well do this kind of experiment: give yourself a fixed time of 1 hour every day, and see how much you will learn in 1 hour.

You will find that you can do a lot in 1 hour. You can recite 20 English words in 30 minutes, read 20-1 good essays in 2 minutes, and write a beautiful reading note in 20 minutes.Some things you think are difficult, but they are actually very simple. As long as you persist in doing them and accumulate them, the effect will definitely exceed your imagination.

Examine "time" and measure "things" to make full use of vacation time

It's summer vacation, and Liu Ran and her cousin went to see their grandparents.

"It's a holiday, how do you arrange it?" Grandpa asked the two of them.

The cousin said quickly: "Do your homework, prepare research study reports, read some books, and play with your classmates."

Liu Ran found that her sister's work during this holiday was very interesting: she first went to the library to borrow the reference books for research study and the books she was going to read, and then downloaded relevant materials from the Internet.

She does some homework every day and reads some books and materials.

Every three to five days, she invites her classmates to get together to chat or hang out.

She proudly told her cousin: "I have made an appointment with those classmates, and the schedule is about the same. After studying for a few days, we will gather together, relax, and share our ideas..."

Throughout the year, we have many holidays - weekends, golden weeks, winter and summer vacations.For us, it's all about our own time.

As for the free time of vacation, how can we use it so as not to let it go?It is the best way to improve grades by arranging study during the long winter and summer vacations.

Due to the intense final review exam before the holiday, I am already very tired. During the holiday, many students have a need to relax, and even have a certain degree of weariness.As soon as the exam is over, there will be a feeling of relief that a heavy burden has been lifted for a while, and you will not want to study anymore, or have the thought of "waiting for tomorrow". This is a normal psychological reaction, but if this kind of thinking continues to grow, it will make the whole body Vacations are wasted.

Some students said: "Sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood. Have fun during the holidays, recharge your batteries, and work harder when school starts." This is a typical waiting thought and should be corrected.

Of course, holiday arrangements are also very particular.The arrangement of holidays should not be like the arrangement of after-school or weekends, and it is not advisable to arrange the classes too tightly. You should pay attention to the skills of arrangement.The principle of arrangement is to play well and learn well.

In terms of content, the holidays should not only arrange the study of textbooks, but also arrange certain social practice activities, striving to combine "play" with social practice, play purposefully, and learn about nature and society while playing.

In terms of time arrangement, social practice activities can be carried out immediately after the holiday, so that the tense mind can relax, and it is necessary to achieve "one piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts".As for where to practice, you should carefully consider according to your actual situation.

You can also use the vacation to develop your own specialties. If you have the conditions, you can participate in some short-term specialty training courses, such as learning to draw, play the piano, and learn to swim.Urban students with relatives in the countryside can go to the countryside to experience life, feel the hard work of "the day of hoeing, the sweat drops to the soil", and experience "the shepherd boy rides the yellow ox, and the song shakes the forest. I want to catch the cicada, but suddenly shut up Standing up" and "the shepherd boy returns to the back of the ox, and the piccolo plays without words" in the life of a shepherd boy, so as to cultivate his feelings for the working people and deepen his love for nature.

Of course, self-study is the most important thing during the holidays. For this reason, you must arrange your time well, make a timetable, and study according to the timetable. Don’t rely on your interest, just read this book and that book, but there is nothing in the end. learned.We must understand the importance of rare holidays, and develop the habit of making holiday study plans according to our own situation.

Vacation time is precious, we must arrange time, arrange vacations well, make full use of vacations, and don't let vacations be wasted in our laissez-faire.So how to make a study plan for the holiday?Pay attention to the following issues:
1. Improve academic performance
With more free time during the holidays, our study should be improved on the original basis.For those knowledge that you didn't learn well or half-understand, you need to specialize in it, and pay attention to those "peaches that you have to jump up to pick", which is what we usually call problems that can only be solved by ability.For this reason, you should find a review material, learn and practice, pay special attention to the train of thought when solving problems, and improve your thinking ability, which is the basis of ability training.

2. Systematize the previously learned knowledge

Generally speaking, before the end of the term, each subject comes to an end, which provides conditions for us to systematize the knowledge we have learned.The method is to sort out the knowledge points of each subject and chapter on the basis of carefully studying the textbooks, and then find out their connections, so as to form a knowledge network map; think over and over again in the mind of this well-organized knowledge network, and consider improvements. , and eventually become our cognitive structure.In this way, we can easily call out the required knowledge in our future study, and it is not easy to get stuck, and it can also make the associative channel unobstructed and easy to remember.

3. Check for gaps
Use the holidays to "make up for the holidays" on subjects with weak foundations.Guan Mei, the number one student in the liberal arts in the college entrance examination in Anhui Province and admitted to Peking University, introduced her learning experience.She didn't do very well in mathematics, so she applied for the liberal arts, but she knew that mathematics was also required for liberal arts, so she used the winter vacation of her second year of high school to do "vacation supplementation". She did six or seven hundred math problems in one vacation. From being afraid to not being afraid, from being weak to being solid, and finally becoming "best".

4. Preview the new courses for the next semester

When previewing, first browse through the rough reading to get a general understanding, and then study a few chapters carefully through self-study to reach a certain level, usually enough to be able to do the exercises in the textbook.In this way, when the new semester begins, your study will take the initiative.

Make time "three-dimensional" and save time
If your breakfast includes a cup of hot milk, a piece of bread with cheese, and a piece of fruit, what will be your procedure for preparing these things?Some people put the cheese in the bread, then go to peel the fruit, and finally put the milk in the microwave to heat up.

Some people will put the milk in the microwave first, and then prepare the bread and fruit.

There is also a lot of learning in a small change in the order of preparing breakfast.The preparation method of the previous classmate would take 3 minutes, but now it only takes one and a half minutes.Look, from the one-time use of a single line to the three-dimensional one-time two-use or one-time multi-use, time is saved.

When it comes to saving and cherishing time, this is a habit shared by most accomplished people in the world.

The famous French writer Balzac worked hard all his life.Just a coffee pot can support him to write articles for a day.Once, he wrote a novel all night, and he was really tired.Coincidentally, a friend came to visit him, and Balzac said to him: "I will sleep for a while, please wake me up in an hour. Remember, just one hour." The friend nodded in agreement.

An hour is up in no time.When my friend came into the room and saw Balzac sleeping so soundly, he thought: "He writes in order to squeeze time, and he doesn't care about his body at all. Let him sleep well now." wake.

After a while, Balzac woke up by himself, and he looked at his watch, ah!I actually slept for nearly two hours.He immediately got angry and yelled at his friend: "You, you, why didn't you wake me up! Do you know how much time I wasted?"

Without waiting for his friend to explain, Balzac went straight to the desk, without looking up, and wrote quickly.

The friend looked at the back of Balzac's writing, shook his head helplessly and said: "You really cherish time like life!"

A person who is not good at managing time often feels that time is not enough.In fact, where your time is, your achievements will be there.The French writer Balzac compared time to capital and life. He always made full use of the limited time to read and write, so he achieved remarkable results.

The writer Lu Xun saves time almost every day.When Lu Xun was 12 years old, while taking care of his seriously ill father and two younger brothers, he often went to pawn shops, ran drugstores, helped his mother with housework and improved his studies.He said: "Time is like water in a sponge, as long as you squeeze it, there will always be."

It can be seen that in order to achieve excellent results, we also need to save time and memorize more knowledge in a limited time, which provides a time guarantee for good results.

In our daily life, what can we do to squeeze out more time for study?You can start with the following points:
1. Superimpose and combine time

We can listen to English tapes while tidying up our desks; we can communicate with our parents when they go out together.

2. Make a schedule
For example, finish reading a book within a week, how long does it take to do a set of exercises, how many minutes does it take to read an article, etc., set a goal according to your own situation, and then complete it within the specified time.

3. Get into the habit of being punctual

No matter what you do, you must have the concept of time. This is not only a good habit of cherishing time and life, but also respecting others.

4. Develop good behavior habits
No matter what you do, you must develop the habit of not procrastinating.The realization of any goal is inseparable from persistent and specific actions, and it is decided to do it immediately.

5. Develop a good work and rest time

Get up for 5 minutes every day to clean up the housework. After washing up, you can review yesterday's study situation, continue to carry forward the good ones, correct the deficiencies, and then make a rough arrangement for the day's study.In terms of time, there must be a comprehensive and well-planned plan, but it cannot be too full, and there must be room to prevent temporary emergencies.

Improve learning efficiency - do things right the first time
Many people mentioned that learning should pay attention to efficiency.The so-called efficiency means that first, we need to spend less time doing more things, and second, we need to use limited time to do high-quality things.Geometrically, the shortest path between two points is a line segment whose endpoints are those two points.Therefore, to do more things with less time, the most important thing is not to take or take less detours.No matter how hard you work, no matter how much time you spend, if the method is wrong and you take detours, the effect will not be good, and it may affect your confidence and dampen your enthusiasm.

How can we avoid or avoid detours?

Then you must develop the habit of doing something right from the beginning, don't be confused, start without thinking, and correct it once you find it wrong, it will definitely waste time.To do something, do it right from the first time. Don't wait until you have done something wrong, or even start to correct it after you have already developed a bad habit. It will take at least several times more time.

Developing the habit of doing things right at the first time will bring great convenience to our study, and will also improve our academic performance rapidly.

Wu Chen and Xiao Meng are good friends, they always study together, their studies are comparable, but since they went to middle school, the difference in their academic performance is getting bigger and bigger, every time after the test results come out, Xiao Meng Just very sad.He and Wu Chen study together every day, do homework together, and read extracurricular tutoring books together.What he didn't understand was why the gap was so big?

So, Xiaomeng told his mother what he was thinking, but his mother didn't give him an answer immediately.My mother began to quietly observe their study, and later found that Xiaomeng was always in a hurry every time he finished his homework. Make it longer.After finishing the homework, Wu Chen looked at Xiaomeng's homework again and found that some steps were not perfect.After she patiently pointed it out to him, Xiaomeng still needed to make corrections.

The careful mother found that Xiaomeng's study habits affected his academic performance, because he didn't do things right at the first time, which seemed to save time, but it was actually a waste of time.This habit has seriously affected the improvement of learning efficiency.Mom found out the cause of the problem and told Xiaomeng gently.

Xiaomeng accepted his mother's teachings, and gradually got rid of the habit of doing things in a hurry during his studies. Whether it was homework or exercises, he always did things carefully and patiently at one time, which greatly saved study time and improved his academic performance gradually got improved.

Doing things right the first time is the most effective and direct way to save time.If we do our homework well for the first time, spell the words correctly for the first time, and find the writing materials correctly for the first time, we can save more time and energy to improve our weaker subjects and improve our overall performance. There has been a substantial improvement in academic performance.

To do things right at the first time, we must first understand what is right. When it comes to learning, we must understand what kind of goal we want to achieve.Different subjects have different requirements, and it is the right thing to grasp the characteristics of each subject to study.Take the three major subjects of Chinese, Mathematics, and Foreign Languages ​​as examples:

1. Chinese learning should pay close attention to basic knowledge
The characteristics of Chinese knowledge are obviously scattered, scattered, and in an independent and disordered state, thus covering up the characteristics of the systematic nature of Chinese knowledge and the close connection of knowledge points, causing students to be confused about the systematic nature of Chinese in learning and blindly attend lectures , The phenomenon of passively doing questions, so that some students do not know what Chinese has learned after graduating from junior high school.For all organic and systematic subjects, the foundation is the most important, and the same is true for Chinese.To learn Chinese well, you must start with the basic knowledge of words, words, phrases, and sentences, otherwise, no matter how many questions you do, it may not be effective.

2. Learning mathematics requires building a network of mathematical concepts
Emphasis on the foundation of mathematics, principles, concepts, formulas, and example sets constitute the most fundamental things in mathematics learning.If the foundation is not solid, it is impossible to learn mathematics well.Therefore, mathematics is a lattice of concepts. We need to form a network in our minds with all related and subordinate concepts, and understand clearly all the concepts that cannot be included in it, and how each related concept develops in the general concept. We also have to have a clear vein.A correct understanding of mathematical concepts is the prerequisite for mastering the basics of mathematics. Students should study tirelessly. Don’t think that the concept is abstract and difficult to understand, so just let it go, and don’t think that it is easy to understand, so as not to understand it in depth.

3. Think of learning English as a matter of anytime and anywhere, which is the main way to learn easily
For example, when walking on the street, pay more attention to some English signs, pay attention to the words you don’t understand, and write them down when you go back.In the long run, a lot of vocabulary can be accumulated in this way.In addition, I usually get more exposure to English music and movies, the lyrics and dialogues in which are helpful for accumulating vocabulary.In the process of repeatedly listening to English songs and English dialogues, many words and sentence patterns will be deeply embedded in your mind, and it is easy to blurt out when you use them.
