I think that over the years, I have been reasonably good at time management except for some occasional hick-ups. But there was a time when I become really busy, and I was really struggling to manage my time when I was doing my Master’s degree from a university about 4 years ago.
Of course, I wouldn’t really be so busy, to begin with, if I had chosen a difficult thesis topic. On top of that, I was also serving as a "teaching assistant" which itself was like a full-time job to check and mark the term papers of almost a hundred students. So, while I was busy attending the classes on a regular basis, I was also busy conducting the regular research works to complete my thesis and also checking the term papers of the undergraduate students at the same time since most of my teachers were very strict about getting all of his student to participate in regular class discussion.
By the way, studying an undergraduate programme and graduate program is a different story. It can be said that while in an undergraduate program, a student is able to build on previously learned concept and skills, a graduate student has to spend a lot of time in making his or her own discoveries. On top of that, the post-graduate supervisors, teachers or educators very rarely offer any lifelines to their post-graduate students. In other words, the post-graduate educators hardly provide ever any deadline extensions as far as the date of paper/thesis submission is concerned.
Anyway, remaining busy is a natural thing for a graduate student because a lot depends on the results of a Masters degree as far as the question of a better career and a better life is concerned. So, it was only natural for me to remain busy at that time because I wanted to finish my university life on a good note. Besides, I also wasn’t able to manage my time that efficiently back then which made my life even busier as a graduate student.
