Why is time management important to both your academic and career success?

It is important since with a managed time schedule you will end up planning and avoiding wasting time for your own benefit.

In my case I plan my day at the morning. Usually around five minutes in total. I check my notes that I had made the previous day write them on the calender on a specific day and then move on a day schedule. I mark the time of every task that I need to accomplish. This helps a lot when you have a lot of free time since you won't think you got more time to waste.

Over all it will keep your mind at peace since you won't have to carry all of the tasks in your mind all day.
