This study aimed to find the impact of time management on the academic performance of students among the diagnostic radiology technology students at KAU. There were more female students that answered the questionnaire. According to student’s perception, preplanning their studies had been beneficial for their academic performance. However, less than half of the students agreed that they manage their time, which could be due to various reasons. In this study students agreed that insufficient sleep pattern makes their feel lazy and they are unable to manage time. Furthermore, majority also believed that the last year had been challenging (due to covid-19 pandemic) and affected their time (and online learning). Previous study on undergraduate nursing students also found that decreasing procrastination and increasing time management will help the students to have better academic performance, less anxiety and will be better prepared for working in hospital (Romero-Blanco et al., 2020). Similar to the results of this stud, previous study Romero-Blanco et al. (2020) also posited that during previous year of covid-19 pandemic, sleep pattern among students has been affected. Elagra et al. (2016) suggest that decrease in quality sleep also decreases the academic performance in the students.The students with positive attitude and who claimed to manage time and meet their deadlines were also had high academic grades. Whereas, short-term and long-term time management were not associated with the high GPA. Contrast to it, previous study had resulted time management behavior such as short range and long-range management to be effective (Ganguly, Kulkarni, & Gupta, 2017). However, those studies are old and suggested effect in mature female students only. Therefore, a longitudinal study is required to observe the relationship between time management behavior and academic achievement for a definite relationship.Among the high GPA holders, majority of them agreed to make a diary, to-do list or put important dates on the calendar. It might be due to the established relationship between maintaining a task list with effective time management (Caligor, 2017). However, according to recent study (Evans, 2017), it is important to digitalize this to-do list or task list for better accessibility, timely reminders and collaborations. This study is limited based on its design being a cross-sectional survey which is a snapshot of a situation. Therefore, for better management, it is important to have a longitudinal prospective study with long term follow up throughout the academic years to further analyze the relationship. It is also recommended for students to maintain their sleeping pattern for better time management. Furthermore, as a to-do list or making task list on calendar has been a positive factor in time management and academic achievement, it is recommended to use digitalized to-do lists for better performance.In conclusion, according to student’s perception, preplanning their studies had been beneficial for their academic performance. However, less than half of the students agreed that they manage their time. No relationship was found between short range and long-range time management behavior on academic achievement. This study recommends better sleeping pattern and making of to-do list among students for better time management, which could lead to high academic achievement.

Improve the writing of the literature review below: Education is pivotal in shaping lives, with academic performance indicating success. The academic journey involves hours of dedicated study. However, balancing study time and sleep quality has become a concern. Studies show a positive correlation between study time and academic achievement, suggesting deliberate practice is crucial for learning. Yet, excessive studying can lead to diminishing returns, highlighting the need for balanced study habits. Alongside study duration, sleep quality is a key determinant of academic performance. Adequate sleep is vital for cognitive processes like memory consolidation, problem-solving, and attention, which are essential for academic success. Poor sleep quality can impair these functions, affecting academic performance. The interplay between study duration and sleep quality suggests they interact to influence academic performance. Students with longer study sessions but poor sleep quality may not achieve optimal academic outcomes. Thus, it's hypothesized that an increase in both study duration and sleep quality would boost academic performance.

Assist me in reducing the word count of my literature review to 190 words and tidying it to making it sound cohesive and fluent with logical flow , removing any unwanted sentences that may confuse the reader and appear redundant but keeping the gist : Education plays a crucial role in shaping individual lives, and academic performance is a key indicator of success. Visualize the academic journey: tireless hours devoted to mastering subjects, fueled by determination. However, amidst this pursuit of knowledge, the increasing concern about balancing study time and sleep quality among students became essential. Numerous studies have found a positive correlation between time devoted to studying and academic achievement, suggesting that deliberate practice is critical for learning retention and performance. However, this relationship is not linear, as excessive studying can lead to diminishing returns, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to study habits (Liu, 2022). Parallel to the impact of study duration, sleep quality emerges as a critical determinant of academic performance. According to research studies, adequate sleep is essential for cognitive processes such as memory consolidation, problem-solving, and attention, all of which are vital for academic success. Suggests that poor sleep quality negatively affects these cognitive functions, impairing academic performance (Raley et al., 2016). Integrating these perspectives, the interplay between study duration and sleep quality suggests that both factors are not mutually exclusive but interact to influence academic performance. Studies found that students who engaged in longer study sessions but experienced poor sleep quality may not reap the optimized academic outcomes (Armand et al., 2021). Hence, it was hypothesized that an increased in both study duration and sleep quality would lead to a concurrent increase in academic performance.

In the conclusion, summarize your reflections on procrastination and the "2-Minute Rule." Reiterate your opinion on its effectiveness and the potential benefits of implementing other time management systems. Encourage your peers to explore different techniques and share their experiences, emphasizing the importance of finding personalized approaches to managing time effectively in college and beyond.
