Introduction[edit | edit source]

Good time management can improve students' learning, allows them to complete course assignments in a timely manner, and ultimately leads to their higher academic performance. [1] In general, students who manage their time effectively perform better than their colleagues with poor time management skills. [1] Time management skills are not skills the person is born with. They needs to be practiced from the early academic life, as it is a form of self-management on how to do activities efficiently and at the correct time. [2] Decreasing procrastination, pre-planning the studies, and improvement in quality sleep are all part of time management skills. [3]
