7. Reclaim wasted time during your classes.
7.找回在你课程上被浪费的时间
Let’s face it. Not every class is going to require your utmost concentration. Sometimes teachers babble. Sometimes they reiterate what you already know. What percentage of class time requires your complete, focused attention? For some classes it’s 90%. For others it’s 20%. If you aren’t actively learning during class, you’re wasting time. If a class is really challenging, sit in the front and soak up every word. But if a class isn’t challenging you, then sit in the back, do homework for other classes, and pop your head up every once in a while to see if there’s anything worth jotting down. Always have a book open, so when your hippie professor goes off on yet another nostalgia trip about the 60s, you’ll have something productive to do.
直面现实吧!并不是所有的科目都需要你极度的注意力。有的老师很差劲。有的时候老师总是反复说你已经记得很清楚的知识点。课堂到底需要你多大程度的注意力呢？有的课程需要90%，而对于另外一些课程来说，仅仅需要20%就够了。如果你在课堂上面并不是很积极的，那么你就是在浪费时间。如果一门课程真的很有挑战性的话，那么就坐在最前排，认真的咀嚼每句话的含义。但是如果一门课并不能吸引你的话，做到后面去吧，做作业。然后是不是的抬抬头看看有没有什么需要你记下来的东西。主意要让你的课本是打开的以防你的教授会突然袭击！
You can’t concentrate at peak efficiency continuously, so be sure to take breaks. When you need a break though, take a real break. I used to meditate or nap on the grass between classes in order to recharge myself. I’d use my wristwatch alarm to signal when it was time to get up and go again. Those breaks were very restorative, and I could go to the next class and work full out once again. I never worked flat out all day long. I worked in waves between total concentration and total relaxation, cycling many times per day.
你不能一刻不停的做工作，那样你会达到一种极限，适当的休息一下。如果你觉得自己累了，那就休息一下。我经常在课后打个盹或者沉思一下以此使得自己重新充满精力。我会用我的手表丁闹钟，告诉我什么时候该起来去上下节课或者重新去工作了。我从来不会整天工作，把自己弄得精疲力尽。我按照自己完全放松和全神贯注的工作之间的周期安排自己的作息时间。
