MAIN BODY
Benefits of Time Management:
Following are some of the benefits of the time management skill for achieving success in the
higher education studies:
1. Improved quality of work – Effective time management will involve setting precise time
schedule for all the activities which are at the top of the priority list of any student. Such
activities will first and foremost include completing of assignments and other academic work
on time and in the best quality possible (Adams and Blair, 2019). Through time management,
the work will be completed quickly and easily and on top of that student will get the benefit
of being focused on the subject and attentive toward the work. This will help him to be more
productive, give his best in the paper, avoid too many mistakes especially silly ones and
grasp the topic which he is addressing with full potential and therefore, achieving the best
possible grades which is the main motive of every student.
2. Avoiding stress and anxiety – It has been proved that most of the college going students
suffer from stress and anxiety which can be due to exam pressure, approaching project
deadlines, failure to complete the assignments, not securing good marks in the exams, etc.
(Vinichenko and et.al., 2018). The one and only effective solution to all these problems is an
effective time management which will result in preparing for the exams as per the pre –
planned schedule to avoid last – minute stress of the unprepared topics, submission of the
projects on time or even before time by planning to complete the parts of the project as and
when planned, completion of the projects on or before the stipulated deadline by prioritizing
the tasks on hand and tackling them and securing good marks as a result of effective
preparation for the exams due to the efficient time management.
