Hard / Soft skills
This page is designed to better optimize the student's day.
We all constantly complain that time passes too quickly. The day has too few hours and we are not able to do everything we would like. Study and work do not leave us time for personal growth, hobbies, healthy lifestyle and communication. How can we help ourselves?
With love, KBTU!
What do you need to pay attention to during your time allocation ?
Useful applications
Instagram Facebook or Instagram is something that we constantly log in to while we are working or studying, then things will inevitably drag on. In the fight against this habit, various applications will help us, which will limit the time we use to watch videos on YouTube or stay in social networks.
Breaks
In order not to "burn out", it is useful to take a break during work. It is useful to walk around the room/office/auditorium and drink some water. If possible, it is worth allocating about 1 hour for a lunch break.
Calendar
In addition to the list of tasks for the day, it also helps many to record various goals and tasks in the calendar for weeks and even months ahead. To do this, we can, of course, use Google calendar or a similar program on a smartphone.
Sleep and wake-up schedule
It is useful to go to bed and wake up on a certain schedule. This will not only promote order, greater organization, but also improve sleep. When we get enough sleep, we have more energy to work and create.

4 Best Time Management Methods:
1. The Pareto
Principle Pareto states that a small proportion of the causes, efforts and investments are responsible for a large proportion of the results. The Pareto principle in the field of time management can be formulated as follows: approximately 20% of the effort and time is enough to get 80% of the result.

The Pareto principle in the field of time management can be formulated as follows: approximately 20% of the effort and time is enough to get 80% of the result.
How exactly to determine which efforts are enough to spend to get a good result? Imagine that you are looking for answers to your questions in a book. According to the principle under consideration, you will find 80% of the information you need in 20% of the text volume. If you know exactly what interests you, you can quickly scroll through the book and carefully read only individual pages. This way you will save 80% of your time.
2. The Eisenhower Matrix
Probably, this is the most well-known concept of time management today, which allows you to allocate priorities. This technique, the creation of which is attributed to the American General Dwight Eisenhower, allows you to sort cases both by their urgency and by their importance. Everyone understands that only a limited number of tasks can be completed in one period of time. Sometimes, without prejudice to the work of only one. And every time we have to decide WHICH ONE? American President Dwight Eisenhower used to sort his affairs by several important categories when planning his affairs.

Type I: "important and urgent".
These are cases, the untimely execution of which will lead to significant damage to your studies.The affairs of this group must be carried out, period. Otherwise there will be serious problems.
Type II: "important, but not urgent."
These are things that are focused on the future: training, studying promising areas of business development, improving equipment, restoring health and efficiency. Things leading to your strategic goal.
Type III: "not important, but urgent."
Many of these things don't really do much good in life. We only do them because they fell on us.
Type IV: "not important and not urgent."
These are all kinds of ways to "kill time": alcohol abuse, "light reading", watching movies, etc. Often we resort to this when we do not have the strength to work productively.

4. Eat the frog first
Transition from difficult to easy
You've probably heard the question: "How would you eat an elephant?" The answer, of course, is: "Piece by piece." And how would you eat your biggest and nastiest "frog"? In the same manner: you would break it down into specific step-by-step actions and start from the very first one. Start your working day with the most difficult task and complete it as fast as you can. You will be helped by the realization that you still have a lot to do, and the working day is limited. Doing the most difficult thing in the first place will give you a huge sense of satisfaction. Use this rule daily and you will see how much energy you get and how effectively your working day goes. Constantly postponing a problematic task to the end of the day, leads to the fact that you will still think about this task all day, and this will prevent you from focusing on other tasks! First eat the frog, and then start eating the elephant in parts!

Healthy sleep, Shawn Stevenson
There are so many interesting things in life that require attention that we often devote almost all of our time to business. We want to solve everything as quickly as possible so much that sometimes we even refuse to sleep. And if a person has a lot to do, then he may decide that sacrificing sleep is quite normal to spend an evening with friends. But just how does this affect your well-being and life in general? In this book, Sean Stevenson talks about it. The reader will be able to understand how important it is to get a good night's sleep and why. The book will help you see the connection between different life events and sleep, and not just tell you that you need to sleep.

Maximum concentration. How to Maintain Efficiency in the Era of Clip Thinking, by Lucy Jo Palladino
The book will teach you to concentrate, cope with distractions and relieve stress associated with time pressure. What we do during the working day is sometimes hard to call work. After all, we check our mail a hundred times a day, randomly switch from one task to another, look into mobile applications, while managing to discuss the details of projects on the work phone. At the same time, we have a million tabs open in the browser with sites, tables, reports... Our brain works in a mode that the high-tech industry calls continuous partial attention. Our attention is torn into many small pieces, which form a continuous buzz in our head and do not allow us to concentrate.

"Don't do this. Time management for creative people". Donald Grew Up
Most of our ideas remain unrealized, and often we cannot fully realize our ideas and reveal our talents. Why? If you ask this question to a creative person, then, most likely, he will refer to the time. Donald Ros, a designer and creative entrepreneur, will tell you how, thanks to a unique method – a to–do list - to manage your time in creativity and in life in general. When you say "no" to one task or project, you free up more time for what is really important. The book consists of three parts: "Life", "Work" and "Projects", and everything is considered in it – from setting life goals to writing a letter of five sentences and minimizing the project.
