Yes， there are benefits to learning how to manage your time—everyone seems to know that. But what exactly do the benefits of time management look like to students in particular？

是的，学习如何管理你的时间是有好处的——每个人似乎都知道这一点。但是对于学生来说，时间管理的好处到底是什么呢？

You wont miss important “life” deadlines. “Life” deadlines and projects are those things that keep your life on track. It may include turning in your homework on time， getting your form in early so you have guaranteed1 on-campus housing next year. When your time management is bad， life can get ugly in an instant2.

你不会错过重要的“生活”期限。“生活”的期限和计划能保持你的生活正常进行。它们可能包括按时交家庭作业，提前拿到表格以保证你明年在校园里的住宿。如果你的时间管理不善，生活会在瞬间变得令人厌烦。

You wont miss important academic deadlines. Homework coming up？ Lab report due？ Having good time management， on the other hand， means you get your assignments in on time—and get a little sleep the night before theyre due.

你不会错过重要的学业期限。作业来了？要交实验报告了？另一方面，擅长时间管理意味着你能按时完成任务，并在任务到期的前一晚安心入睡。

You have more time to sleep well， eat right， and exercise regularly. Good time management means you have more time in general. And the better you treat your body， the better it treats you. Putting a little energy into time management now means youll have more energy to get through your days later.

你会有更多的时间好好睡，好好吃饭，定期锻炼。有效的时间管理一般意味着你有更多的时间。你对你的身体越好，它就会对你越好。现在花一点精力投入时间管理，意味着之后你会有更多精力投入到日程当中。

Youll have less stress. Good time management means that the homework you have to write gets done in a reasonable amount of time with relatively little stress. Its a much better approach than facing a panic attack the night before a deadline.

你会压力更小。有效的时间管理意味着在一段合理的时间内要完成必做的家庭作业，这样压力相对较小。这比在交作业期限的前一晚惊恐不安要好得多。

Youll have more time to just relax and enjoy your time in school. Lets be honest： Even if you do decide to throw caution to the wind and just hang out with some friends， that homework youre avoiding is still fluttering3 around in the back of your brain. When youre always behind and late on projects， you dont have the time—or mental ability—to just relax and enjoy. When youre good at managing your time， you can really let yourself relax， knowing that the time youll need to do that homework has already been allocated4 in your schedule.

你会有更多的时间来放松和享受在学校的时光。让我们诚实一点：即使你真的决定把谨慎抛诸脑后，和一些朋友出去闲逛，你想要逃避的家庭作业也仍然在脑后飘荡。如果你总是在计划上落后或迟到，你就没有时间或者精神去放松和享受。而当你能管理自己的时间时，你可以真正地让自己放松，因为你知道做作业所需要的时间已经在时间表中分配好了。

Things will be easier for your friends and family. You know what its like to have a friend who is always late： Things can become trying5 after a while. Finally getting on top of your time management and turning into an independent person who can run his or her own life will make things incredibly easier on your friends and family （not to mention yourself）.

你的朋友和家人會更容易相处。你知道有个朋友总是迟到是什么样的感觉：过一段时间就会变得让人厌烦。最后，有效管理好你的时间，成为一个能够管好自己生活的独立的人，这会让与你的朋友和家人（更不用说你自己）相关的事情变得非常轻松。

Good time management skills will help you in your study and life in future. Think your always-late， always-behind pattern is going to change once you graduate？ Think again. Taking the time to learn and make permanent strong time management skills will serve you well in your life after school and college. After all， how can you go out and change the world if youre always running behind and late？

良好的时间管理技能将有助于你以后的学习和生活。想想看，你总是迟到，总是落后的模式会在你毕业后有所改变吗？再想一想，花时间去学习并掌握有效的时间管理技能，这对你毕业后的生活也大有用处。毕竟，如果你总是落后而且迟到，怎么能去改变世界呢？
