Background of the Study
Most college students value their time when they're struggling to balance work, school, social life, and when they are pressured to a deadline. With so much to do, it can be easy to become overwhelmed, stressed and pressured then eventually be burnt out.

These skills will not only be valuable during their time at school but can carry over later into the workplace.

With so much going on, having strong time management and an efficient time management technique can sometimes seem so impossible.
