A special assignment entitled “A Personal Mobile Time Management and Motivation Application” prepared and submitted by Brendan D.

Time management is the ability to plan and control how you spend the hours of your day to effectively achieve your goals. Some problems an individual encounters in managing their time include underestimating how long a task can be accomplished, even if the task has been completed before, and an individual's failure to adhere to their plan for managing their time. This project aims to help solve this problem by creating an application that remembers and maps estimated start and end times with the actual start and end times of a task.
This application allows users to chart and see if their estimated time matches the actual time a task was completed. Switches can be used to set the alarm notification, motivation notification and push task to Google Calendar.
Background of the Study
The researchers then concluded that heavy multitaskers were shown to perform no worse than light multitaskers in terms of memory retention, focus, and filtering out irrelevant information. This is due to receiving the information presented for many heavy tasks that they accept all the information, it may be relevant or not. Effective time management requires people to analyze their workload, set priorities, and maintain focus on productive efforts.
They focus on the most important and time-sensitive tasks and limit the amount of time wasted on non-essential duties. And then they stop tracking the time spent because they haven't realized any positive changes. They put some events or activities aside and prioritized another urgent activity, but they didn't really get anything done.
Motivation can be defined as the driving force behind all actions of an individual [5]. Motivational quotes and messages provide motivation and inspiration to many people, especially when things get tough.
Statement of the Problem
Objectives of the Study
Edit current tasks in the list (priority, completion time, alarm, reminder frequency, notes). Find the task time period (f) Add/delete custom text motivations (g) View the dashboard for the following. See the average time of specific tasks with differences between estimated and actual start and finish times.
View task details and occurrences (j) Add, edit and delete user-defined categories 2. a) Notify the user of an upcoming or upcoming scheduled task (b) Notify the user with a text prompt.
Significance of the Project
Scope and Limitations
Assumptions
Jackson outlined some important time management steps to consider in order to create a realistic time management plan [9]. A study was done by Nadinloyi, Hajloo, Garamaleki and Sadeghi regarding the effectiveness of time management training for the academic time management. There are two groups of students, one who received time management training, while another group did not.
The results showed that the academic time management ability of students belonging to the group that received a time management training was better than those in the control group. Time management was a mediator of the relationship between conscientiousness and students' academic achievement. The study also showed that time management is a significant mediator for part-time students but not for full-time students.
Time management was hypothesized to be positively related to well-being and negatively related to media multitasking. The results showed that time management made individuals more sensitive to the negative effects of media multitasking on well-being. The modern concept of time management refers to planning the time you spend on which activities [19].
The skills involved in personal time management are goal setting, planning, prioritization, decision making, delegation, and planning different goals and activities for the day. The general and only user of the system is the mobile user, as the application is a personal time management and motivation application. Personal Mobile Mobile Management and Motivation application is an application used for entering tasks, reminding tasks, plotting estimated start and finish time against actual start and finish time of a task for monitoring and pushing task details in Calendar main Google of the user's Google account.
The main function of the system is to provide the user with a mobile application that will be used for time management through the tasks entered and mapping of estimated times against the actual times the tasks were done. The current working application version of the Time Management application has functions that address the primary objectives of the project. With the following functionalities, we can say that the time management and motivation application can raise awareness regarding a specific task time estimate of the user and the actual time the user starts and completes a task.
