Skill Analysis
Time management skill
Time management is an important skill and ability of organizing as well as planning of dividing
time between specific activities by prioritizing important tasks. Students are required to posses
this skill and ability of managing their time of completing all given tasks in the given deadline.
Importance: Time management helps people at all stages and for students it helps them out in
solving their procrastination problems. It is found that due to procrastination and study work
pressure they become frustrated and stressed and it leads to poor grades and scores. It affects
their career development in a negative manner. Nowadays for being in the competition and
getting effective employment opportunities, maintaining a balance between social and academic
life students require possessing this skill (Rimadana and et.al., 2019). By having an effective
time management skills, students can easily deal with assignments, tests and more subjects.
I have evaluated my skills and I found that I just need to improve this skill as when I get
several assignments then I get frustrated and find it difficult to complet all tasks in the given
deadline and in an effective manner, Due to lack of this skill, I also find problems in
concentrating on learning so, I need to improve this skill for getting higher scores, becoming
stress free and increasing concentration power in learning.
