千里之行始于足下。在PTE备考时，无论计划做得多好，都要一点一滴的完成。墨尔本悉尼文波PTE的小编为大家奉上7个tips，让墨尔本PTE和悉尼PTE考生复习备考更高效。下面开始：
1、Stay focused and get offline 保持专注，远离网络
很多墨尔本悉尼文波PTE学校的学员都发现要完全远离手机几乎很难实现，小编在这里推荐Daniel Levitin（《大脑超载时代的思考学》一书作者）的方法——设立一个紧急邮箱账号，帮助大家有效的专注学习。
“Each of us needs to set our own priorities and not allow the external world to set them for us. It’s so easy to become interrupted by a lot of shiny new digital things, a new email, a new tweet, a new thumbs-up on Facebook. All these things serve as distractors and they are ways in which the outside world is telling you what to pay attention to.
— Daniel Levitin
《深度工作术（Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World）》一书作者Cal Newport认为删掉手机里的一些应用也非常有效：
“One of my main concerns about social media is the lengths the major companies go to engineer their products to be addictive. This addiction can ruin your ability to concentrate deeply in the times where your career depends on it.
“This engineering, however, is most prominent in the phone applications, so if you access the services through the website, you sidestep those dangers.”
— Cal Newport （Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World）
2、Early rising 早起晨跑和有效的打盹
早起的好处不言而喻，Laura Vanderkam（《What The Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast》一书作者）就曾经举过无数人的例子：他们在早晨5点前去健身房，精力充沛，并且发现在接下来的一整天都能内心平和。所以，各位墨尔本PTE和悉尼PTE的小伙伴们，不要睡懒觉啦。
“For people who can take naps, there’s a rich and deep neuroscientific literature on the benefits — a 15-minute nap can be the equivalent of an extra hour’s sleep the night before.”
打个15分钟的盹儿相当于一小时的睡眠，这可以帮助各位考生有效补充体力。
3、Setting goals (not setting yourself up to fail)设定能实现的小目标
高管培训师和管理学学者Monique Valcour建议，选一个目标，定一个时间表，并将目标分解成若干可以每日践行的小目标。而对墨尔本PTE和悉尼PTE的考生来说，每个题型做个小计划，一个个完成之后会相当有成就感。
“If you break it into little parts — like, talk to Aunt Sophie; talk to Aunt Sophie’s doctor; visit homes in the area; talk to other family members — those are things you can put on your calendar.”
4、Time measurement 时间管理
对于时间如生命的各位考生来说，时间管理更多的在于严格记录每天时间去了哪里，然后加以改进。
“Work is often less of our time than we feel it is. The point is not to be precisely tracking every minute, it is to get a good idea of where the time goes. I have had hundreds of people do this — even the busiest people can find some time that can be redeployed. A lot of people have little idea what they did between 8pm and 11pm.”
5、Tracking progress 跟踪速度
有了复习规划之后，每天跟踪前一天的进度或者每周跟进上周的速度能提醒墨尔本PTE和悉尼PTE的考生更好的集中精力在目标上。学者Newport还建议要留出时间考虑几周以后的事情。
Mr Newport, because of his day job as an academic, believes in scheduling and then recording the amount of time he spends in a state of immersive, intense concentration. He has recently moved to a system of setting aside thinking time weeks in advance.
For Ms Valcour, a goal or aspiration is a problem while it remains “disembodied”. “So just get a notebook, or an app, and make a note of what you do and what the impact is,” she advises. “Then build some sort of ritual so that you invest in this project every day.”
6、The inescapable to-do list 必不可少的待办清单
很多同学都喜欢做电子清单，但根据以下专家的建议，记在纸上更有效。
Mr Levitin believes in old fashioned stationery — including a to-do list that can be easily shuffled, assessed and reprioritised (he suggests index cards).
The neuroscience suggests it’s better to do [your to-do list] on paper because it requires deeper neural processing to write something down in longhand than to type it.
Your phone and your computer are used for a lot of different things, that piece of paper is just your to-do list and it’s easier to keep track of things when they’re visually distinct.
7、Motivation and self-flagellation 动力和自我鞭挞
这里要给每一位墨尔本PTE和悉尼PTE考生加油，无论多辛苦多艰难，都要勿忘初心。墨尔本悉尼文波PTE培训学校与大家风雨同路。
Many people assume the self-disciplined quest for increased productivity is a bit of a drag as compared to just taking life as it comes. But in my experience, people often find a great satisfaction in the idea that they’re making the most of their talents.
We crave self-mastery and effectiveness more than absence of discomfort.
愿每一位墨尔本PTE和悉尼PTE的考生在2017年都有高效的执行力和满满的收获，能够达成心愿，开启人生新篇章。
