Time management is important for personal and career success. It teaches how to use time effectively and make the most of the limited resource. Good time management allows one to prioritize tasks, avoid distractions, and accomplish goals even with a small amount of time each day. Some ways to improve time management include making lists, using downtime productively, setting personal deadlines, avoiding procrastination, and delegating responsibilities. Proper time management can help students complete their independent study projects on time through efficient ACE completion, early project planning with teammates and mentors, and focused work during holidays and weekends.
