Students have to perform various tasks like completing the syllabus, doing homework and preparing for exams in a minimum of one year’s time. All students are provided with equal opportunities in the classrooms. But those who learn to manage their time effectively always stay ahead of their fellow classmates. They are able to accomplish more than the other students because they study regularly by following timetable from beginning of the new class till end. Some students who only start studying when exams are approaching are never able to analyse all the information in the short span of time and can’t achieve improved grades.
During exams, there is certain time limit in which students need to complete the attempted question paper. Within that time they have to showcase their knowledge and learning of the whole year. It has been noted that often students have enough knowledge to answer the questions but their poor time management skills become a hurdle to attempt the question paper in the provided time limit. As they have not established time management skills they are more likely to miss important information as they are running out of time. You need to analyse the question paper and how you will divide your time for each question to attempt all of them in 3 hours. Pay attention to all question as all of them are equally important. If you have sufficient knowledge to answer the questions then you will attempt each of them in 3 hours without much effort.
Time management not only benefits students in their educational career but open new doors of opportunities for them in professional lives. Students who are able to manage their time effectively during school or college do more work later in a job than others. They know how to make best use of their time and manage things easily without stressing over deadlines. They prove themselves as more productive employees than others.
Students who know how to become more productive at work will save precious time of citizens and customers. We have seen that effective time management is one of the key elements that is not only beneficial in growth of individual personalities but it has a major role in the development of nations. Students are the future of a country. If we will teach them time management skills from the start, they will follow these habits throughout their lives and become great doctors, engineers, businessmen, team members, etc. The main reason of stress and anxiety among these professions are the poor time management skills that often lead to bad habits. That is why, it is important to manage time from the start to get success in every field of life.
Effective management of time will help students to reduce stress, increase productivity during study hours and boost confidence in exams. Students often complain about lack of time for studying but actually, these are the poor time management skills that hinder their way to progress. They don’t get enough time for study because they are not working according to a timetable or schedule. They mostly waste their time on internet, social media or playing games and cannot focus on study. The students who know about time management skills perform well in studies and follow these strategies to work efficiently in all stages of life.
Parents can also contribute to the success of their child by teaching good habits and time management skills to their kids. They need to become role model for their kids by making schedules that can provide some free time that they need to spend with their kids and other family members. They should understand that their kids will only achieve success in this fast paced world only if they know how to use their time productively. Time management is essential to achieve better results in academic as well as professional careers. Students, teachers and parents need to join hands to come up with effective strategies of time management that help in achieving best results.
