Having good time management positively affect on personal success included the balance in both health and task. In the competition world, people are very competitive to success even sometime they forget to think about their health and plan; therefore, misperception about time management is frequently happen. As same as a student who plans to sleep only 4 hours and listen to a tape of a lecture while taking another class (cited in Richmond, 2009, p.32). This plan considers as poor time management because less sleep and multitasking have a negative consequence on his/her quality of study. Some people argue that multitasking and less sleep is a good time management to save their time and help them to be successful.
