CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Introduction

Time Management is the ability to use one’s time effectively or productively.

According to Nasrullah & Khan (2015) time management is very important especially to
the students because the lack of time management can affect the students daily
activities. Lack of time management need to be solve because it causes distraction,
pressure, procrastination, lack of self-discipline, uncertainty of personal goals, and
unwarranted social relations.

According to Daczynski (2009) students should learn time management for them
to manage their time properly. There are factors affecting the time management of
students which affect their everyday activities. These factors causes the students to
have lack and poor management of time. Students should know the factors that
affecting their time management in order for them to solve their time management
issue.

According to Young (2017), lack of time management affect the student’s lives
such as students perform poorly both on school activities and household activities.
There are factors such as procrastination and unmotivated that affects the time
management of students. This situation causes the students to have unfinished works.
Time, when not manage properly by students will make them function poorly towards
their daily activities.

Time management skills when properly implemented could assist students to

lessen unnecessary works, Wheeler (2017). Factors such as setting priorities, averting
procrastination, and scheduling time appropriately will affect the time management of
students. Applying these factors will help students in managing their time correctly.

According to Kaufman (2004), noted that students who are chronically unpunctual do
not manage their time schedule properly. The factors affecting time management
include being unorganized, not keeping time schedules, unsettling goals, and not
 2

establishing routine. These factors should not be practice by any individual especially
students.

Prioritization is another essential tool for time management Mueller (2010). He

noted that most people including students lack the ability to prioritize their daily
activities. Not knowing things that need to be prioritize is included as a factor that is
affecting time management of students.

Theoretical Framework
The Pickle Jar Theory is a theory and study about time management. This theory helps
students to determine what factors are useful in setting priorities in daily life. This theory
help students to manage their time and plan activities or task everyday. This theory
represents the students daily activities as sand, pebbles, and rocks put inside the pickle
jar which represents the students daily lives, what keeps them busy and how they divide
or manage their time.

In this theory, it is stated that time is limited which means students have to
control their time and set their priorities. Students should set plan or schedule to help
them finish their activities in their scheduled time. Factors such as not setting priorities
and being unorganized affect the time management of students. Procrastination,
unmotivated, and being unassertive on doing the said activities are included as factors
as well that affects the time scheduling of students.

This theory provides insight into the students time table. It offers opportunities
to students in aiding them to make an effort and avoid the factors that affects them in
doing their task. This theory also shows that in a simple way, the students can manage
their time through surpassing the factors affecting time management. In this theory,
students will be able to know the factors and can use their time table wisely.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Foreign

Time is perpetual, and the time expended by everybody can never be recovered.
Time could seem stream continually, but because it is went through on certain
exercises, a few may discover it not sufficient to wrap up the things to be wiped out a
day. Time management may be a ability that everybody ought to have to effectively and
proficiently finish their errands. Legitimate time management leads to way better
choices, particularly on the off chance that one isn’t constrained, and in this way, by
making the proper choices in a careful way, one can accomplish a effective life fair by
properly overseeing their time. In addition, time administration abilities and methods can
be characterized by one’s individual approach, which contributes to various essential
qualities in common. And a few of the most and essential components/factors that ought
to be considered in one’s time administration abilities are objective setting, arranging,
prioritizing, and planning (Carroll, 2015).

The time management appraisal in senior high school understudies precisely

clarifies the change in time management for this age bunch. The time management
moreover have factors affecting the students. It suggested that time management
capacities may have an effect on the students activities in daily lives according to Liu,
Rijimen, McCann, and Roberts (2009). The factors of time management such as time
arranging, setting priorities, and planning are the components that students should do
(Kaushar, 2013).

According to Adebayo (2015) delaying, prioritization, and arranging were found to

be the major factors that are affecting students time management. These factors will
help students in managing their time and they will able to do their activities timely. The
students should exercise themselves to practice these factors for them to manage their
time respectively. Time management can be a great way to accomplish multiple
activities that students need to do in everyday tasks. Students can utilize their time in
doing different activities through exercising and practicing primary factors (setting,
 8

planning, prioritizing, and scheduling) which are considered to be a time management’s

skills. Students struggle to set objectives because they are unaware of the particular
standards that must be fulfilled in each academic subject in order to meet state
competency requirements (McMillan, 2019).

According to Fitsimmons’ research (2008). “The first key to good time

management is planning; while planning takes time, it is an investment that will pay off
handsomely in time saved later on. Good planning ensures that you get to a desirable
end with a project or other effort, whether that project is specific to your library
workplace or your entire career.” It must be in writing and reviewed and updated on a
regular basis. This technique gives a clear picture of one’s workload at any given time,
as well as a thorough work plan for the future and a notion of what lies ahead (Forsyth,
2019).

According to an article on the priority matrix (n.d.), priorities must be defined in

order to fulfill all of the tasks that must be completed. Prioritization is vital because it
allows students to focus their attention on critical and urgent things first, then move on
to lower priority chores afterwards. Students will struggle to accomplish projects on
time, stress about how they will complete everything on their to-do list, and be
unproductive if they do not take the time to prioritize. Prioritization is vital for these
reasons. If students do not, you will be penalized. If student’s organize their schedule by
priority, they’ll be less likely to overlook critical activities. First and foremost, students
should place and set their priorities on their priority lists.

The importance of scheduling in time management cannot be overstated. The

students ability of scheduling can have a good impact on the significance of time
management. Students can achieve certain activities everyday with the help scheduling.
Scheduling is a good aspect/factor that will motivate students in doing a planned and
scheduled list of tasks. It also improves and help the learners in managing their
precious time accordingly Making a plan schedule list of activities, learners can do their
daily works on time. The scheduling factor will help and assist the students to be
productive in using their time. The students can control their time management through
the process of scheduling their different daily routine. Scheduling can be a useful factor
 9

and strategy on achieving good management of time. A student time management will
be substantially improved if they have a good task and time allocation system in place.
Having a successful timetable entails knowing what needs to be done in the time
provided. When there is a lot of energy stored, the difficult tasks should be planned first,
and the most important activities should be completed first according to Chapman,
Rupured, Price, Carney, and Clews (2020).

Every student should not only understand, but also practice time management.
When asked to do a task, many students worry about running out of time and becoming
angry because they are unable to complete it before the deadline. Time management is
incredibly important, especially for senior high school students, because it will help them
improve their grades and productivity (Laurie & Hellsten, 2002). Students are frequently
confronted with variables such as task aversion, ambiguity, and procrastination, all of
which have an impact on their time management. As a result, pupils will be unable to
organize their responsibilities according to their priorities, causing them to become
easily sidetracked and procrastinate. As can be seen, time management is crucial for
each student, and it is one of the keys to completing various duties (Kelly, 2004).

Students should begin developing time management skills on their own during
their school years by reading materials used in the classroom and adopting effective
time management attitudes and practices to select how and where they spend their
time. The various groups of students that made use of their time management skills
were able to complete a variety of activities. Students who practice good time
management proves to have reach and performed multiple tasks in a day. They
discovered that students who do not use time-saving measures in their educational
environment had much fewer completed work than students who use time-management
approaches (Mercanlioglu, 2010).

In order to complete several responsibilities in a day, students should learn time

management. Time management techniques have been shown to be one of the most
important factors in reaching varied levels of activities and daily results. They have an
impact not only on the completion of everyday tasks, but utilizing time management
 10

strategies also serves only one objective, implying that time management serves
several purposes. Participating in proceedings and practicing time management skills
not only assist students in their activities, but they also manage their time effectively
when completing tasks. Several studies have shown that time management strategies
are beneficial for a variety of reasons, not just for challenging students’ everyday
routines. Time management techniques explain not just how to get to different activities,
but also how to stay on track (Faisal, Miqdadi, Abdulla, & Mohammad, 2014).

Using time effectively and competently requires procedures and good planning
behaviors: keeping time logs, setting immediate and long-term goals, prioritizing
responsibilities, creating to-do lists and arrangements, and organizing one’s workspace,
as studies from earlier periods and a plethora of how-to books suggested, one can
make effective and competent use of time by keeping time logs, setting immediate and
long-term goals, prioritizing responsibilities, constructing to-do lists and arrangements,
and organizing one’s workspace. Time-saving approaches and behaviors can be
divided into several categories, and they are all likely to contribute to a number of core
features. Short-range planning, long-range planning, and time attitudes are the three
surfaces of time management behavior. Limited-term planning refers to the ability to
organize and systematize obligations in a short amount of time (Laurie & Hellsten,
2002).

Long-term planning entails setting long-term goals and sticking to a set of habits.
It’s been dubbed “having the perception of a liking for structure” by several studies, and
it’s similar to long-term planning. To obtain a summary of the daily tasks that must be
completed, time limitations, and priorities, which strengthens the feeling of having
control over time, allowing one to deal with all activities in the long term. It may be
tackling to be familiar with how much effort is required to be completed within hours,
days, or weeks; it may even be the immediately measurable effect of planning. It directs
to have less perception of control over time because it may be tackling to be familiar
with how much effort is required to be completed within hours, days, or weeks. This may
give the idea that time management techniques have an impact on students daily
 11

accomplishments. It was also discovered that students who used goal-oriented time
management strategies had higher overall tasks achievements (Brigitte et al., 2005).

Time management necessitates a significant shift in focus: focus on results

rather than being busy. Having a time management ability, students can reach various
activities in their everyday lives. There are many cases of students wasting their lives in
discolored activities and achieving very little because they are assigning their work to
the wrong responsibilities or failing to focus their activity effectively. It has been
established that two time management workings directly affect the students collective
task achievements (Mercanlioglu, 2010).

Local

According to an article ojs.aaresearchindex.com as a student, time management

is possibly the most crucial and difficult skill to master. Time management is the process
of consciously planning and controlling the amount of time spent on specific activities,
with the goal of increasing effectiveness, efficiency, or productivity. If a student want to
avoid getting overwhelmed with duties, they’ll need to develop some sort of time
management approach. Understanding and controlling oneself is the first step toward
adopting time management tactics that are most likely to work for any student. This can
assist them in overcoming the most common roadblock to accomplishing their goals
which is the factor called procrastination.

Time management is the key for the students to achieve different set of goals
and tasks. Students should begin planning early and in great detail so that everything is
completed on schedule. Others thrive under the pressure of having to reach a last-
minute deadline. Whatever type of student they are, they will need to manage a variety
of duties at the same time, thus they will need to intentionally manage their time in some
way. The overall goal is to teach students how to manage their time so that they can
finish their studies while still having time for other vital and fun activities in their lives
according to Mendoza, Gonzales, Masa, Mingi, & Ocampo (2009).

Time management is more than just cramming as much as possible into a

student’s day. It’s also about developing long-term behaviors that will benefit you.
 12

Students may be able to complete multiple things/activities in a single day if they know
how to manage their time effectively. Time management is a crucial component and
aspect to a student’s life because it allows and help them to complete a variety of things
on a daily basis. Time management is required and needed for a student to complete
many activities in a timely and orderly manner. Building or creating a consistent and
long-term time management schedule will allow students to make multiple progress on
their many projects/tasks without overworking themselves, as well as keep them
happier and more focus. Students can reach and accomplished variety of
tasks/activities in a day if they build efficient time management which will make the life
of student to become manageable according to Magulod (2019).

The fascination with time management is nothing new. Time management is

more than just keeping track of a student’s tasks and activities in a diary. It is more of a
collection of concepts, habits, and abilities that will assist a student in accomplishing
their goals and being productive. It’s the art of allocating the appropriate amount of time
to the appropriate activity. It refers to how an activity utilizes the majority of a student’s
time. However, some people will find it difficult to manage their time. There are a variety
of elements that influence how students manage their time. A student will be better able
to manage their time if they recognize these challenges/factors. The factors affecting
time management of students are they are not good at estimating time, they are
unmotivated in doing the work at the right time, they have unclear goals, they are being
involve in procrastination and they are not good at establishing priorities (Dionio, 2005).

Time management can be defined as the process of keeping track of and

controlling one’s time. In this case, it would be more fair to talk about self-management
in terms of completing several activities in a given amount of time. Goal setting,
prioritization, planning, hesitation and coping mechanisms, studying and learning
tactics, note keeping, and stress management are all aspects of time management that
affect people’s ability to make better use of their time and make sense of it. Students
have power over their daily activities. Creating a concept of time management training
program can be used by students in their daily activities. Giving insight into time-
consuming activities is a critical component. By educating students how to develop daily
 13

plans, prioritize duties, and deal with unexpected chores, they can reduce their time
spending and increase their workday efficiency (Laguador & Agena, 2013).

Anyone, especially students, values their time. For students, time is critical in
completing their various tasks on time, and every minute can be converted to
productivity. The key to achieving success in life is to manage the time and resources
that everyone has equally, as well as to pay close attention to planning. Time
management include training in skills such as goal – setting, scheduling, prioritizing
tasks, self – monitoring, problem – solving techniques, and delegating which are helpful
for students. This can also be true in places like schools, colleges, and universities.
Students must attend classes on time and complete activities and assignments in order
to attain their personal goals and complete tasks. Students must value their time in
order to build routines and schedules for their everyday activities. Students should
practice time management in this manner according to Marpa (2014).

Time management is critical for a variety of reasons. The fact that students use
time in their daily lives implies that time is a part of their daily lives that must be handled
in order to conclude the day with a sense of success, as time cannot be reversed.
Students’ time management is greatly influenced by their ability to manage their time.
They went on to say that every student should be able to properly arrange their
activities, set goals, and prioritize those that demand immediate attention, among other
things. Students’ capacity to make judgments can also be improved through time
management, allowing them to use time more efficiently. Even though there is no
universally approved method for managing time, it is critical for students to appreciate
time management and use it in a variety of situations (Balatbat & Dahilig, 2016).

Time management is defined as the skill of planning, organizing, scheduling, and

budgeting one’s time in order to increase efficiency and productivity at work. It can also
be seen of as a combination of concepts, practices, skills, tools, and systems that
should all work together to help students accomplish and improve their quality of life.
When a student is aware of the passage of time, it is critical that they make plans before
doing things and establish priorities in many of their daily duties. Time management is
concerned with allocating enough time to each activity in order to successfully manage
 14

the tasks and accomplish them within the time frame provided. Prioritizing the tasks to
be completed is related to how students manage their time successfully by controlling
the urgency of the needs and the time allotted to each activity in order to maximize time
according to Lorenzo, Padua, Panganiban & Peña (2013).

There are several methods for pupils to develop time management skills in order
to complete various activities. Proper time management, for example, can greatly assist
students in completing a number of responsibilities. Planning (both short- and long-
term) and time attitude are two elements that might be considered while demonstrating
time management. Prioritization, procrastination, and sociability are all aspects that
affect time management in students according to Tus (2020).
