The relativity of time is an influential factor in academic autonomy in liquid modernity, there are expressions such as: time is not enough, time to study must be created because it does not exist; or, the priority, the urgent, the necessary, what has to be done, what they ask us to do and fatigue do not leave time for study. To resolve these concerns, the results of the evaluation of factors that affect time management are presented in students of the Colombian mega university of distance education, through a quasi-experimental study with a sample of 355 students, in order to offer time management strategies which are in agreement with these evaluated factors: goal setting, time management tools, perception of control and order-organization. We sought to determine if there are significant differences by gender and age through an ANOVA analysis. It was concluded that the students handle the factors at an acceptable level; there are no significant differences between the variables.
