新学期新气象！Ruby小姐姐分享15个实用小技巧，从制定时间表到打造理想学习环境，助你轻松规划每周生活，保持好习惯，合理安排学习与娱乐时间，让你从容迎接新学期的挑战，提升学习效率，告别拖延和焦虑。

Here are 15 things to do at the beginning of the school year.

以下是开学之初可以做的15件事。

Number one, make a rough timetable for your week.

第一，为你的一周制定一个大致的时间表。

Into this you can add clubs, time block time for hobbies and spending time with friends, as well as just putting in your subjects.

在时间表中，你可以加入社团活动、兴趣爱好和与朋友相处的时间，以及把各科课程也列入其中。

Time blocking on apps like Google Calendar is a really good idea if you have a very busy schedule.

如果你的日程非常繁忙，在像谷歌日历这样的应用上进行时间块管理是一个很好的方法。

You can also set your classes as reoccurring events so they appear every week at the same time.

你还可以将课程设置为重复事件，这样它们每周同一时间都会出现。

When I do put all of my classes into Google Calendar though, I do find it becomes quite cluttered.

不过，当我把所有课程都输入谷歌日历时，确实发现它会变得相当杂乱。

If you want to put all of your classes in but you don't want it filling up your entire calendar, there is actually a way to hide just your classes.

如果你想把所有课程都列入，但又不想让日历被填满，实际上有一种方法可以只隐藏课程。

So if you create a new calendar, you can put all of your classes in this calendar and then you'll see that there is a checkbox on the side, and you can just turn this on and off depending on whether you want to see it or not.

如果你创建一个新的日历，可以把所有课程放到这个日历中，然后你会看到旁边有一个复选框，你可以根据是否想查看课程来开启或关闭它。

Number two, I talk about this a lot, but make sure you've got a good solid morning and night routine, and that you're going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time every day.

第二，我经常谈到这个，但一定要确保你有一个良好的早晚作息，并且每天在同一时间睡觉和起床。

Studies have found this is the best way to prevent tiredness, if you've got that consistency.

研究发现，如果作息规律， 将是预防疲劳的最佳方法。

And having a routine in place, something easy to follow, which you can do automatically, will hopefully help you to keep on top of healthy habits.

提前制定一套固定流程 —— 既要简单易执行，又能让你下意识就完成 —— 这样的方式有望帮你牢牢坚持健康习惯。

Number three, start using a planner regularly to stay on top of things.

第三，开始定期使用计划本来规划要做的事务。

So every time you have a new task to do, just make sure you write it down.

每当有新的任务时，务必把它写下来。

Because if we write things down, we're less likely to forget them.

因为如果写下来了，就不太容易会忘记。

Number four, make sure you're making time for your favorite things, even if just for a few minutes a day.

第四，确保为你喜欢的事情留出时间，哪怕每天只有几分钟。

So if you really love reading, make sure that you're putting that time aside every day.

如果你特别喜欢阅读，一定要每天留出时间来读书。

Make sure you're making time for hobbies and seeing your friends and looking after yourself.

确保你有时间做兴趣爱好、和朋友见面并照顾好自己。

It'll just mean you don't get burnt out, which you'll thank yourself for in the long term, in a couple of months.

这样就不会感到精疲力尽，几个月后，你会为此感谢自己。

For number five though, start as you mean to go on with work.

第五条建议是，对待工作要从一开始就秉持你期望长期保持的态度去做。

So even if there's not that much work now, maybe try and get ahead.

所以即便现在的工作量不多，也不妨试着提前做些准备、抢占先机。

At university, when I was able to stay a week ahead of my readings, I was always much more calm and I never regretted doing like two weeks worth of work in the first week when the workload wasn't so heavy.

上大学时，只要我能提前一周完成阅读任务，整个人就会从容很多；而且在学期初任务量还不大的时候，哪怕一周就做完了原本两周的事，我也从来没后悔过。

If you can manage that in the first week, I would highly recommend it.

要是你能在第一周就做到这一点，我非常推荐你这么做。

It just sets you up so well for the term ahead.

这会为接下来的学期打下良好基础。

Next, keep decluttered and on top of things, so regularly sort through your desk and files on your computer.

接下来，要保持整洁并处理好各项事务，所以要定期整理桌面和电脑文件。

When my desktop is cluttered, my mind just feels so much more cluttered and I find that when I keep on top of this, I do not feel so overwhelmed.

当我的桌面杂乱时，我的思绪也会觉得杂乱，而当我保持桌面的整洁时，我就不会感到那么有压力。

And a reset routine will also help with this, which is going on to my next point, which is to come up with a weekly reset routine that you can use once a week, maybe every Friday or every Sunday to kind of get ready for the week ahead.

而一套 “重启流程” 也能在这方面帮上忙，这就引出了我的下一个建议，那就是制定一套每周一次的重启流程，比如每周五或每周日，为接下来的一周做好准备。

And I have created this reset routine principle, which is available for free on my website, Pumpkin Productivity.

我已经创建了这个“重启流程” ，可以在我的网站上免费获取，南瓜生产力（Pumpkin Productivity）。

This can include things like setting goals for the week ahead, writing down what you want to accomplish for the week, backing up files, deep cleaning your room, just all of the things that will help you feel more put together for the next week.

这可以包括为下一周设定目标、写下你本周想完成的任务、备份文件、深度清洁房间，以及所有帮助你为下一周做好准备的事情。

Next, if you don't understand something, get it sorted now.

接下来，如果你不理解某件事，现在就解决它。

Because you're going to have to get it sorted eventually, you're going to have to understand it eventually, and it will be so much easier if you do it now when you kind of still are semi-familiar with the material because in a month's time you're gonna be less familiar with it than you are now.

因为你迟早都得弄明白，如果在目前对要处理的内容还比较熟悉的时候解决，会容易得多，因为一个月后你对它的熟悉程度会比现在低。

So if you have a question, please, please, please ask your teachers.

所以如果你有问题，请一定要向老师请教。

I know it can sometimes feel embarrassing.

我知道有时会觉得尴尬。

I used to feel embarrassed to ask my teachers or like admit that I didn't understand something, but just a reminder to please never ever shy away from asking your teachers or admitting that you don't understand something.

我以前总觉得向老师提问或承认自己不理解有点尴尬，但请记住，绝不要害怕向老师提问或承认自己不理解。

I weirdly used to feel embarrassed if I didn't get something, even though that's the process of learning, we're not supposed to get it straight away.

我以前如果没弄明白，总会觉得尴尬，但这是学习过程的一部分，我们不可能一开始就完全理解。

And I realised that too late.

我意识到这一点已经太晚了。

I wish that I had asked more questions.

我希望自己当时多问一些问题。

Fill out all of your deadlines for the next few months in your calendar, so nothing accidentally creeps up on you and you just have everything at a glance.

把接下来几个月的所有截止日期都填入日历，这样就不会有任务突然 “找上门” 让你措手不及，而且所有事项你一眼就能看清。

Also set up a good study space somewhere that you enjoy to be because if you like your study space you're more likely to want to sit down and study.

另外，设置一个你喜欢的学习空间，因为如果你喜欢这个空间，你就更愿意坐下来学习。

I always like to have mine very nice and cosy so candles and nice pens and pictures.

我总喜欢把自己的空间布置得舒适宜人，有蜡烛、漂亮的笔和照片。

Just make it somewhere you want to be and personally I'd recommend, if you can, having natural daylight too.

把它变成你想待的地方，还有一个我的个人建议，如果可能的话，有自然光照更好。

Also make a note of some good study spaces which aren't your desk, so places out the house like your favourite cafes or the library or maybe the kitchen table, your favourite study spots at school or on campus so you don't have to think too much about this and you have set spaces which you can go to.

还可以记下家里以外比较好的学习空间，比如你喜欢的咖啡馆、图书馆，或者厨房的餐桌，学校或校园里你喜欢的学习地点，这样你不必多加思考，就已经有固定的学习场所可以去。

Make a note of some study snacks and maybe go out and get some of these in like a load of protein bars or energy bars so that you have a selection at home, and you can easily reach these because studying when you're hungry is not fun, and I just find that you just tend to get more hungry when you're studying.

记下可以作为学习零食的食物，也许可以去买一些蛋白棒或能量棒，这样家里有多种选择，也容易拿取，因为饿着学习会让学习失去乐趣，而且我发现学习时更容易饿。

You could even write down your favourite snacks so it's easier to choose what you want to have and you don't spend ages like thinking about it.

你甚至可以写下你最喜欢的零食，这样更容易选择，也不会浪费太多时间考虑要买什么。

Make a study playlist with some nice classical music or ambient sound, whatever you enjoy studying to.

制作一个学习播放列表，选择古典音乐或环境音，无论你喜欢听什么来学习都可以。

I actually have a few playlists which I will leave linked down below if you're interested to try those.

我实际上有几个音乐播放列表，如果你愿意尝试，我会在下方链接提供。

I tend to listen to classical music or film soundtrack.

我通常会听古典音乐或者电影原声音乐。

Set aside time every night to tidy your room and tidy your desk so that everything is ready and clean for the next morning.

每天晚上预留时间整理房间和桌子，为第二天做好准备并保持整洁。

Penultimately, sign up for your clubs now, and don't wait to sign up.

倒数第二点，现在就去报名参加社团，别等着再报。

This is a rookie mistake which I made at university.

这是我在大学时犯过的新手错误。

There are so many clubs that you might want to join, so many activities you might want to try, but you think, oh, I'll wait a couple of weeks.

有许多社团你可能想加入，有许多活动你可能想尝试，但你想，哦，我等几周再说。

And then you just end up never signing up for them.

然后你最终可能就再也没有机会参加了。

So while you're excited about it, at the beginning of the year, sign up for those activities, sign up for those clubs, and start going.

所以在你对这些事情感兴趣的时候，开学之初，就报名参加这些活动和社团，并开始参与。

And then finally, decide what note-taking method you want to use for this year.

最后，确定好今年你想采用的记笔记方法。

So will you use flashcards, or mind maps, or digital notes, or notebooks?

你会用闪卡、思维导图、电子笔记，还是笔记本呢？

Make the decision now and stick to it because it would just help to keep all of your notes in one place and hopefully prevent you from losing anything.

现在就做决定并坚持下去，因为这样能帮你把所有笔记集中在一处，也有望避免丢失内容。

That's not to say you can't use other note-taking methods, but I would just recommend making sure that you transfer any to this main hub which you use.

这并不是说你不能使用其他记笔记的方法，但我建议确保把用其他方法记录的内容都转移到笔记最集中的地方。

So for example, if you tend to use a notebook to take notes, but you typed up one week worth of lecture notes, you might just print this out and stick it into your notebook.

例如，如果你习惯用笔记本记笔记，但你已经把一周的讲义整理成电子文档，你可以把它打印出来并贴入笔记本。

Anyway, thank you so much for watching, I hope you found this useful and I wish you the very best for the new academic year.

总之，非常感谢你的观看，希望我所说的有帮助到你，也祝你新学年一切顺利。
