Rationale
Time management is the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time
between different activities. Get it right, and you'll end up working smarter, not harder, to get
more done in less time – even when time is tight and pressures are high. The highest
achievers manage their time exceptionally well (Mindtools, 2024).
Time management is the skill of planning your tasks based on the time you have to work.
These skills can help you prioritize items in your daily schedule that allows you to finish them
on time. With practice, they can ensure you're doing what you're supposed to at the right
time. Time management can take many forms like using a checklist or a timer to track your
progress throughout the day (Herririty, 2022).
Effective time management is associated with greater academic performance and lower
levels of anxiety in students; however many students find it hard to find a balance between
their studies and their day-to-day lives. This article examines the self-reported time
management behaviors of undergraduate engineering students using the Time Management
Behavior Scale (Blair & Adams, 2019).
Time management is the ability of consciously deciding and controlling the amount of time
spent on different activities in order to be more productive and effective. In order to achieve
academic success, students should be able to manage a large number of activities, from
going to lectures, studying, participating in extra-curricular activities, to making sure they are
getting enough rest to stay healthy. The purpose of this research was to determine if there

are any significant differences in the effective time management between Chinese and
Croatian students (Črnjar & Čikeš, 2019).
As a student, why would time management be important to you? Losing track of or running
out of time can be frustrating. Time management is critical when learning new things and is a
skill applicable to every aspect of your life. Planning and managing your time will help you in
the future with school, work, and other projects. Developing a plan or schedule can help
ensure you have enough time to devote to studying, so that you succeed in achieving your
goals (5 reasons why, 2024)
Understanding how criminology students at Saint Columban College manage their time is
really important. Good time management helps them do well in their studies and prepares
them for their future jobs. By figuring out how students handle their time, teachers can help
them improve their study habits and do better in their classes. Plus, knowing how to manage
time is super important when they start working in jobs related to criminology, like in police
stations or research centers. It's not just about doing well in school – it's also about making
sure students feel good and don't get too stressed out. If we can spot where students might
need help with managing their time, we can give them support and tips to make things
easier. This research also helps teachers and schools understand what works best for
students in their program, so they can make things better for everyone.
Statement of the Problem:
The study assesses the level of grammatical competence of the Criminology students of the
Saint Columban College. The research participants will be the Criminology students in all
levels in Saint Columban College. Study will be conducted this March-June 2024.
It aims to answer the following questions:
1. How do criminology students at Saint Columban College currently manage their
time?
2 What challenges do criminology students face in managing their time effectively?
