How many times have you complained, “There aren’t enough hours in the day!”?
“一天多少个小时都不够用！“这句话你抱怨过几次呢？

Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated from University of Cambridge, probably disagrees.
毕业于剑桥大学的视频博主荷莉·加布丽·怀特或许并不赞同这一点。

After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. It records her daily life on campus. Now she has more than 270,000 subscribers to her channel.
自2016年8月入学后，怀特便在视频分享网站油管上开设了一个频道。频道中记录着她的校园日常生活。目前，已有超过27万人订阅。

In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In between, she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online.
视频中，这位22岁的大学生每天早上6：30起床，晚上10：30睡觉。在此期间，她均衡地安排着自己学习、做饭、清扫房间以及运动的时间。有时她会抽时间和朋友见面，和家人在线聊天。

A similar case happened to college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1:00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week, the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day by pre-reading his textbooks at 6:40 am, and ends with a summary of his studies. When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule, he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.
一些中国大学生的作息也是如此。几个月前，清华大学的官方微博晒出了一些学生的计划表、学习笔记和日程表的照片。其中一位本科生将自己的日程安排地相当紧凑。他通常在凌晨1点上床睡觉，早上6点就起床了。尽管每周只上10节课，但其余的时间都被他安排得满满当当。他早上6：40预习课本，开始新的一天，并在一天的最后总结自己的学习情况。当他觉得这样的作息难以坚持时，他会给自己写点自我鼓励的话，比如：“你是最棒的“、”加油“。

Both students’ hard work has certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates; and the Chinese undergraduate won a first-class scholarship four years in a row.
两位学生的刻苦努力自然都获得了回报。怀特在她的152名同学中名列前茅，而那位中国本科生则连续四年都获得了一等奖学金。

The two have something in common. They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as much into the schedule as they can. More importantly, they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.
这两人有着共同之处。他们都制定了规律的作息，早起学习。他们都尽可能地在日程表中挤出时间来。更重要的是，他们都学会了高效充分的时间管理方法。

Some may wonder how they can avoid exhaustion, stress and burnout.
一些人或许会想知道，他们如何能避免疲劳、压力以及过度劳累。

White’s video Time Management & Organization Tips All Students Should Know may provide an answer. She advises to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. We should also know how to avoid and release stress because, “Mental health is as important as our physical health.” To White, dancing is something she takes as a reward after completing everything on the list. Then enough sleep to rest her body and get ready to do a good job the next day.
怀特的视频“每个学生都应该了解的时间管理与安排秘诀”或许提供了答案。她建议我们按顺序在待办事项列表上写下自己的任务。我们还应当了解如何避免和释放压力，因为“心理健康和生理健康同样重要。”对怀特而言，跳舞是她在完成列表上的所有任务后给自己的一种奖励。然后她会通过充足的睡眠来放松身体，做好准备第二天继续好好干。

Indeed, things must be carefully planned before we act, then “twice as much can be accomplished with half the effort”, as the old Chinese saying goes.
的确，我们要在详细规划之后，才能做出行动，这样才能像那句老话所说的那样：“事半功倍”。
