At the same time they deal with financial responsibilities too. Also as a member of society, they have to conscious on their social responsibilities.
Most adult learners find their greatest challenge in life is in managing time effectively. Besides the study, many adult learners deal with the issues of child and family care, job and financial responsibilities, and housework and social responsibilities. An adult learner needs to allocate his time to spouse, children and immediate social circles without any question. At the same time they has financial responsibilities, so they require to find job and need to spend huge portion of time on work. Also an adult learner struggles with health issues, marriage and divorce, buying new house, children and their education, losing job and so on. And also being a parent, they need to allocate their time for children and have to calmly listen their children's amazing-amazing talks and need to answer them. That’s why; many adults never think that they can manage their time for education along with so many responsibilities. Because of so many responsibilities, time management becomes harder and cause to contemplate giving up their dreams at one point or another. According to a research report, 68% of adult students allocate their time for job outside of study, same way 85% adults do housework, 41% childcare, 23% adult care and 17% homework and internships (Kinsela, 1998). This result at least can show how adults are juggling different responsibilities and why they need a good time management skills.

Some people prefer daily calendar and some weekly, it depends on personal preference. But it is recommended to make weekly calendar and create a daily exceptional notes or to do list. This will help the adult learner to allocate the time for specific tasks and show the places where they have extra hours they can use for studying. Setting a priority against each is important in helping achieve goals rather than being overwhelmed by what you have to do. If there are conflicts among the various demands, it needs to give greater consideration to prime goals. An adult learner needs to avoid the conflicts among study, work and other responsibilities. At the same time the most prime task can be break down to smaller unit tasks so that it will be very specific to achieve the goal.
