things we dream to do and so many things that we have to do. Because of the competitive
conditions in business life nowadays forcing people and businesses to do so many things
simultaneously, the importance of right decision making for the right jobs with the right methods
become more and more important.
For those who can’t perform the necessities of time management effectively in their private and
business lives, through not being able to keep themselves updated, it will result in failure and
unhappiness. Time, when once consumed, can never be taken back. Therefore, it should be
considered consciously, with good planning, and should be used wisely in order for success to be
obtained and productivity to be increased.
The purpose of this study is, for those students who give importance to education and therefore
having master’s degree education; in order to cope with the constant changes and developments of
the business life, to know that the most significant challenge ahead will be, the misuse of their time
management. With this thought in mind, for those students who are working in different jobs at
different times and ages, and studying in the same time frame; finding out the relationship between
time management skills and academic performance/success, through the application of time
management survey is critically important.
