Overview
Time management skills are necessary for fulfilling the demands of everyday life.
The Assessment of Time Management Skills (ATMS 2.0) is a self-administered questionnaire.
The ATMS 2.0 assesses everyday life time use strategies, which can support or interfere with the ability to consistently manage time effectively.
Executive functions underlie time management skills.
Benefits
The ATMS 2.0 consists of 27 items with a 4-point response scale and a range of possible scores from 27-108. The higher score represents better performance. The ATMS typically takes 10 minutes to complete. The electronic version provides immediate results.
The ATMS follows the World Health Organization (WHO) process of translation and adaptation of instruments. It has been translated into Spanish, Chinese, Swedish, Finnish, South Korean, Arabic, Persian and Portuguese.
Popularity can be attributed to the ease of administration, readability, general population norms, and immediate scoring response if using the electronic version. The publication of the research results that show the sub scales are sensitive to change.
Uses
It has been considered for use in rehabilitation for vocational, physical and psychiatric conditions including substance recovery. It has also been used in general education and research related to learning how to manage time, learning in time of COVID, enhancing independent living skills, reducing academic procrastination both in the classroom and during academic internships.

Suzanne White has dedicated her entire professional career to serving clients with mental illness and developing new strategies for occupational therapy interventions within this population. In addition, she has been a tireless advocate for the rights of individuals with mental illness and for the role of occupational therapy in enhancing independence, productivity and quality of life for these individuals.Suzanne received a post-professional master's degree in occupational therapy at New York University, with a specialization in vocational rehabilitation and supported employment for individuals with mental illness. In subsequent years, she applied this knowledge to developing community-based vocational and day treatment programs.She has educated Occupational Therapy Students, initially as an adjunct at New York University and then as a Clinical Associate Professor at State University of New York Downstate Medical Center. While at Downstate, Suzanne has worked with many groups of students and consumers of mental health services to develop and pilot-test a new tool, the Assessment of Time Management Skills (ATMS). She has reported positive findings about this tool's test-retest reliability.In 2010, Suzanne began working with Gunnel Janeslätt in a Swedish collaborative project titled Building Bridges to Manage Time. Their combined research provides assessment and intervention in development of time processing ability, use of cognitive and sensory strategies, remediation, and time aids. This collaboration has yielded multiple research publications including pre-and post-intervention measures of change in skills and knowledge and qualitative outcome results in daily time management. The populations researched included persons with mental or neurodevelopmental disorders including as Autism, Substance use disorders, Parents with ADHD, Youth with Intellectual Disability, and Work.
