Time is invaluable and irreversible for every aspect of human productivity. This study
tries to investigate how students at the Faculty of Languages- University of Aden allocate their
time in the various activities and its effect on their academic performance. The informants have
to report in a diary what they do over a week. They are volunteers from the third year students at
