Make Lists

 

制定计划

 

Lists are great for just about everything: groceries, errands, homework assignments. Free up some brain space by putting everything you need to get done on a list. Better yet, buy a small notebook and keep a running, dated list. Everything you need to remember goes in the book. When we try to remember everything with brainpower alone, especially the older we get, the less gray matter we seem to have left for the really important things, like studying.

 

计划对任何事情都很有用：去杂货店、办事情、做作业。大脑中腾出一块儿，列一张表写上自己要完成的事。买一个笔记本，按日期写计划，就更好了。每件你要记住的事都在笔记本里。当我们试着仅凭脑力记住所有事，随着年龄增长，脑内的灰质递减，记住的正经事就越少，比如学习。

 

If you are a smartphone fan (who isn't?!), you'll find lots of apps to help you stay organized. Find one that fits your style and works the way you prefer to work. Then be sure to use it!

 

如果你是手机的死忠(谁不是呢?!)，你会找到很多帮助你规划自己的应用。找一个适合自己的，以自己喜欢的方式运用这个应用。要确保你能够遵照这个应用的要求。

 

Make lists, keep them with you, whether on paper or in your phone or on your tablet, and revel in the satisfaction of crossing items off when you've completed them. There's extra satisfaction in adding something to your list that you've just completed so you can cross it off!

 

制定计划，无论计划在纸上、手机里、便签本上，把计划带在身边，沉浸在做完一项要求就划掉一项的快感中。还有一种附加的快感是添上一项你刚完成的任务，然后划掉它!
