Abstract: This study proposes a time management intervention for college students that includes 1) identifying academic deliverables with due dates, 2) preplanning specific study times each week in advance, 3) and sharing the plan with the instructor. Results show a decrease in missing assignments and an increase in course grades even when controlling for graduate/undergraduate status. Both undergraduate and graduate students perceive the intervention as positive. Students practice time management skills which are critical to their academic success and success as professional developers.
