Time Management in the Life of a Scholar

Time management is a subject that concerns everybody. It is a challenge that has to be faced squarely by everyone who is interested in accomplishing his/her tasks within the limited time available, and this time is equally endowed. Good time management is an important factor in getting things done within the available 24-hour-period of a day.This book specially targets scholars who should be role models to other people on effective time management and utilization. It is also hoped that the book will stimulate further research on the principles, models and theories of time management. Although the book has the scholar in mind other users of time in the various sectors of any economy will also find it useful. __________________________Professor Kabiru Isa Dandago (BSc, MSc, MBA, PhD, FCA, FNIM, MNES, ACTI, MIMC, MBEN, MNAA, AAIF) was a Visiting Professor of Accounting at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) for the period August 2012 to August 2014, before returning to Bayero University mid-August 2014.
