Abstract:

Being a college student, like most other occupation, can be carried out either efficiently or inefficiently. The way we use time (or waste it) is largely a matter of habit patterns. One of the best techniques for developing more efficient habits of time use is to prepare a time schedule.
A successful system for most students is to combine long-range and short-range planning. Thus, a student can make a general schedule for an entire term and then prepare a more specific plan for two or three days a week at a time. We present an online multimedia tool intended to be a self-helping guide to make college students understand how they spend their time and how to improve their time schedule organization in order to optimize their studying time. It consists of a series of progressive exercises with which they will be able to analyse their current situation and make changes to improve their time organization skills.
