Importance of time management for students
 It helps in achieving goals faster – The effective time management makes the students
more productive and effective. It allows the students to focus on one activity rather than
multitasking activities as it will lower their productivity. Thus, it makes the students more
productive and efficient in their work.
 Helps in prioritizing their work – Effective time management requires to create a time
table of various activities that the students have to deal with in whole day or week. This
will help in prioritizing their work so that they can focus on immediate action. Proper
time management allows the students to slot in time to work on their projects. So with
proper time management students can plan their work that are essential and may delay the
non-essential work that do not require immediate action. Prioritizing the work makes thej
students in managing their time and they can do the work which is important rather than
spending time on useless activities.

 Get more done in less time – Effective time management allows the students to allocate
specific task that will help them in focusing more on it. If the students do not focus on
managing time, then they might miss the deadline of work. So it is important to formulate
an effective time table plan that will help in allocating specific time to a particular project
or time. Students can be more productive as they have set deadline for their work and
have pressure to complete before meeting deadlines (Brooker, Brooker and Lawrence,
2017).
 Reduced stress – Student’s life is full of complexities and they do not bear the stress of
their academic and personal life. Time management helps in reducing their stress s they
have stress of completing the project or assignment. They became easily stressed because
of their study pressure but time management helps them to prioritize their work and
tackle them first. This helps in understanding what the students have to do and at what
time so that they can manage their work in an effective way. This reduces the stress as
they know that they have enough time to complete their task and manage other activites
or work. Students can be more productive in studies if they are stress free.
 Helps in preventing procrastination – It is a slippery slope that leads to stress and
frustration and makes the students low productive. It is needed for the students to set
aside a specific time for a task that helps in getting motivation that is requires to get it
done. With effective time management, laziness can be overcome and they can focus on
their task effectively.
 Boosts confidence and enhance career opportunities – It helps in improving the career
opportunities that can make the future of students bright (Wolters and Brady, 2021).
Managing the work helps in getting it done on time that boosts the confidence of students
so that they can overcome with every fear they have related to academics and low grades.
The grades of the students can be elevate by making a to do list. Students can also learn
the time management skills that they can utilise in their future.
Time management plays a crucial role in the successful studies of students. There are several
benefits of managing the work and time so that they may accomplish their projects or task before
deadlines. The students must prioritize their work and should do the work that requires

immediate action. Students should breakdown task into smaller task that becomes easy to tackle
with massive project at a time (Cirillo, 2018).
