Abstract

This research explored students' time management practices as a basis for a customized daily schedule. It employed a quantitative research design, specifically descriptive, to gather numerical data on students' time management habits. The study was conducted at Balite National High School in Balite, San Francisco, Surigao del Norte, involving 191 participants selected through simple random sampling. The discussion section presents the demographic profile of respondents, mainly aged 15-17 and in grades 9-11. The study assessed students' perceptions of time management practices through a survey. Findings indicated that students often take breaks to avoid burnout and remain focused on school work, but they need to show more support to use tools and apps for effective time management. Similarly, they employ techniques for managing house chores but need help with communication and workload coordination. Statistical analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test reveals no significant differences in students' perception of time management practices based on age, grade level, or sex. The study underscored time management's significant impact on academic and household responsibilities, emphasizing the importance of breaks and practical techniques in managing tasks efficiently.
