INTRODUCTION
Time management is a process in which includes planning and controlling of time. Time
management is important so that each task can be given equal tim. The study will highlight the
benefits of effective time management and how it is useful for students. Further, report will
highlight that how time management helps in designing plan of study(Wild, 2017). The report
also highlights the barriers which arises in time schedule and preventions to deal with that
obstacles.
Time management is an process of planning controlling of time spend on different
activities,specially so that its effectiveness and productivity can be increased. By time
management it is means that how much time is to been spend on specific activities so that their
product can be increased(Sommer, 2016). The main purpose of time management is to enable
people to do more work and good work done in less time. A time management system is
designed as a process which includes combination of process, techniques, tools and methods.
Benefits of effective time management:
When time management is good more task can be completed in less time, which leads to
more free time, and that free time can be spend on some other activities and people can learn new
things in that time. Obviously, time management is very important in everyone's life, by proper
time management one can become more successful in life(Morden, 2017). Time management
impacts the both personal lifer and professional life as by time is managed on all activities,
person feels relaxed and reduced the stress level. Being organised and working according to time
result in less rework and mistakes. When time is properly managed by people all the task will be
carried out smoothly and in desired way and it results in time saving ie, people have more free
time they can invest in other activities and learn new things.
As when time is properly managed by people they can have free time which they can
spend with their family because spending time with family is also important. It helps in
increasing the reputation in work place as people have more trust and reliable(Wild, 2017). No
one will ask that when the task will be completed because everyone know that the time
management of worker is good and will manage the task according to that.

Time management helps student in making plan of study.
By effective time management students can achieve greater progress in their work. As
students prepares their studying schedule ie, how much time of day they had to spend on studies.
Students maker proper time table and study according to that(Kumar and et.al., 2016). Task
managed according to priorities give more advantage to students that on each subject how much
time should be spend. By making proper study plan they can manage their task effectively and
students have free time for fun. Other than studies free time is also important so that stress is not
build on students.
More free time means more opportunities for learning. When proper time management is done
student can take care of their healthy also(Kumar and et.al., 2016). By making proper study plans
students have more proper and stressful sleeps. In exam time making proper schedule is very
beneficial because each subject is important and need to be cleared so by effective management
of time more concentration can be given to students.
Identification and evaluation of obstacles in effective time management.
There are many obstacles in the time management. Which means that when a student sit
to study there are some distractions which distract them from their goals. One of the main reason
is that the distraction is the use of mobile phones and television. As now days all students have
smartphone have internet which distracts them from achieving their goal. So top deal with issue
students should keep their mobile phones aside and sit in a separate room where there is no
distraction(Kirillov and et.al., 2015).
Another issue which results as an obstacle for students is lack of priority. Students must
be clear about their goals and work according to that. They don't prioritise the task ie, which
subject requires more effort and how much time should be given to each subject. Students should
make study plan according to the priorities so that they can study more comfortably and achieve
desired results.
Unexpected visitors in house is also an barrier to time schedule. When students study
according to time and visitors come in house so at that time their schedule is disturbed as
greeting and welcoming them is also important and it effect their productivity. Lot of time is
wasted in this as when visitors come at least about an hour is wasted, so in this way it is an
barrier to time management(Grissom, Loeb and Mitani, 2015). So for dealing with this problem

students can choose another placer to study ie, an separate area or place where they have no one
to disturb. May be if possible students can have their separate study room or any other place like
farmhouse etc, where they can sit and studies with relaxed mind.
CONCLUSION
From the above study it is concluded that time is very precious for everybody including
students and workers. By effective time management more productive work is generated by
[people in less time. When time is properly managed people have other remaining time which
they can spend on other tasks. Report concluded that by making proper timing schedule students
can achieving more good results in exams as they prioritize their task and studies according to
that. The study also concludes about different types of barriers which arises in time management
like distraction from mobile phones etc, as by this lot of time is wasted by students and results in
loss of time.
