Time Management and Self-Management Secrets Practiced by Harvard Students

This book is a bestseller based on the content of the Chinese CCTV documentary "World's Famous Universities" "Harvard", and introduces the special spirit of Harvard and the secrets of time management and self-management practiced by Harvard students, divided into 10 chapters, including "effort, confidence, passion, execution, learning, flexible thinking, time management, self-management, dreams, and opportunities."
Through this, we provide practical guidance on how to progress and succeed as a better person.

Here are some ways Harvard students use their brains.
1.
Don't waste time just acquiring theoretical knowledge.
2.
Think continuously and use your knowledge to the fullest extent to research and solve given tasks.
3.
Fusing theoretical knowledge with the practical knowledge you have studied, you find the point of contact between the two.
4.
While studying, think and gain experience in reality.
5.
Expand your knowledge through interactions with professors and classmates.

“Fear is a prison that imprisons the will.
“Fear, which has been quietly hidden in our hearts, gives rise to superstitions, and superstitions become sharp daggers that kill our souls.”
Everyone dreams of success, but at the same time feels fear because of the possibility of failure.
In fact, this is because of insufficient knowledge and experience.
If fear comes first, you must build self-belief and confidence through diligent study and solid experience.
And instead of being afraid, you must arm yourself with a positive mindset that says, 'I can definitely do it.'
When you act boldly like that, you will be able to drive out fear.

How can I develop a passion for studying?
1.
Let's give ourselves enough passion every day.
Let's fill every corner of our daily lives with passion, not just for those around us.
The best way is to always try to smile.
2.
Let's try to bring only good news.
When you get the grades you want, show your progress by letting people around you know.
Also, when your friends' grades improve, let's celebrate and encourage them together.
3.
Make sure you understand what you are studying.
Most students don't really know what they are learning because of the spoon-fed education.
Let's find a better way to understand what we're studying and how we're studying.

Ralph Emerson said:
“If you take action toward your goal, the whole world will open a path for you.”
If we too develop the habit of taking immediate action, what we vaguely dream of will become reality at some point.
It's time to stop daydreaming without answers.
Doing it today is more efficient than doing it tomorrow, and it is the shortest shortcut to success.
Because there is no better starting point in this world than now.

Investments in knowledge must be applicable and practical.
The world is constantly changing, and knowledge is constantly being updated.
Look at the so-called 'popular fields' and 'unpopular fields'.
Theories and technologies that were once considered cutting-edge soon become outdated.
That is why choosing knowledge properly is also very important in studying.
It is impossible to acquire all knowledge even if you spend your entire life studying, so you must study selectively.
If you focus on a specific field and continue to learn, you will soon become an expert in that field and achieve success.

We must learn to completely let go of all the experiences and knowledge that are inherent within us.
Next, let's find a new answer that is completely different from what we knew before.
When we actively exercise our imagination and creativity, we can find new answers, and through these, we can solve the world's difficult problems and soar higher.

I'd like to give you some clues to help you find the traces of the 'time thief'.
First, every time you find something you need, the thief reveals himself.
We waste 10% of our time each year looking for things like keys, wallets, and documents.
So, if you develop the habit of organizing your things well, you can save that much time.
Also, when you are lazy and put off doing something, the thief appears.
At this time, if you increase work efficiency and make reasonable plans and carry out them one by one, you can finish all the work within the given time.
When we realize the importance of time and develop the habit of cherishing it, we can chase away the "time thieves" and achieve success.

Daydreaming is a type of fantasy.
If you want to pursue your dreams and work towards making them come true, you must first get rid of these distorted illusions in your head.
That is the starting point for truly understanding dreams and distinguishing them from delusions.
The opposite of fantasy is common sense.
Common sense arises when you abandon illusions and stop delusions.
To achieve your dreams, you must move forward with common sense thinking and common sense actions.
There are no shortcuts to achieving your dreams.
However, what is absolutely necessary is a desire for success.
On the journey towards your dreams, you must let go of fleeting desires and find your true self in reality.

Among the Harvard graduates who achieved extraordinary success, you won't find anyone who doesn't have ideals, aspirations, and goals.
Goals are the sun of life, dispelling the fog and illuminating the path ahead.
Goals serve as a blueprint for the future and a mental pillar.
From now on, take a hard look at what suits you best and what you need to do better at it.
Ask yourself again and again about this matter.
Then, at some point, you can set a clear goal.
To achieve this, gather all your strengths and move towards that goal.
If you have a clear goal and strong will, half of success is already within your grasp.
