School is a primary setting for academic and social experience. Achievement is a behavior directed
towards the attainment of approval or the avoidance of disapproval for competence of performance in
situations to which standards of excellence are relevant. The terms academic achievement, academic
performance and scholastic achievement are interchangeable. Academic performance refers to some
methods of expressing a student's scholastic standing. It indicates a grade for a course, an average for a
group of courses in the subject area or an average for all courses expressed on a zero to hundred or
other quantitative scale (Dash, B.N. 2004).

Observed a surprising relationship between reward and effort in real life and it suggests that 80% of
what is been done may contribute only 20% of what will be achieved in life. This rule is said to be called
"Pareto Principle". This rule acts a force which make someone to reallocate attention to those most
valuable activities rather than focusing on the activities which may bring fun but has no long-term
rewards. This principle relates to the way in which a student who spends more time in fun activities will
have no valuable goals in doing those fun things but will rather achieve a desired goal if he/she can focus
more on useful things (Vilfredo Pareto, 1906).

Theories

According to Maslow (1954), "As long as the efficient use of time helps us meet higher goals of
fulfilment, spiritually and well-being, we perceived it as helpful. But for the sake of interests in better
efficiency, if we give up bigger things like agenda and self-satisfaction in life, then this can be seen as a
moot victory". Maslow's theory talks about the human needs and hierarchy that are required to satisfy
human wants. Maslow's theory is related to the student time management in the aspect of purpose and
satisfaction. This theory reflects on how a student can manage his/her self-better in order to feel
satisfied (Jeffrey 2011).

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is a motivation theory that emphasizes the importance of autonomy,
competence, and relatedness in human behavior. According to SDT, individuals are more likely to be
motivated when they feel that their actions are self-directed, they have the necessary skills to
accomplish their goals, and their actions are related to their values and beliefs. Applied to study habits,
students who have sense of autonomy in managing their time, feeling competent in their ability to learn
and retain information, and feel connected to the academic goals are more likely to develop and
maintain effective study habits.
