The program’s keynote speaker, MSc. Nguyen Quang Huy – Lecturer of HUFLIT Faculty of Foreign Languages, shared valuable information from his own impressive learning journey. With excellent achievements, including graduating with a Master’s degree with honors (GPA 3.69) from Edith Cowan University (Australia) and achieving an IELTS Overall score of 8.0, with Speaking and Listening scores of 8.5, MSc.

These tips not only help students optimize their time but also achieve outstanding results in their studies and life, while maintaining a balance between personal and professional goals.

According to the speaker, before giving methods to balance time in student life, we must first understand the activities that are wasting time in order to eliminate dead time. Specifically, the first method is the Eisenhower Matrix method – to classify work based on Urgency and Importance. Identify priority work to make the best use of it and not miss the deadline. In addition, the speaker also shared other time management and concentration methods such as: Pomodoro Method – Tomato Technique; 2-Minute Method – Quick Processing Rule; 80/20 Method (Pareto) – Focus on important things.

In addition, the speaker also shared with students about Multitasking Skills. When doing many things at the same time, the brain cannot fully focus on many complex tasks at the same time and is only used when combined with basic tasks or automated tasks. From there, the speaker also gave some other methods such as: Time Blocking, Eliminate distractions or take advantage of AI.

After listening to the useful sharing of the speakers at the seminar, HUFLIT members and students had the opportunity to ask questions directly in the hall. Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy enthusiastically answered questions as well as shared his experiences during his time studying for a Master’s degree.
