Chapter 1
The Problem and It’s Background
I. Introduction
Time Management plays a very important role not only in organizations but also in our daily
lives. It refers to managing time effectively so that the right time is allocated to the right activity. Time
management also refers to making the best use of time as time is always limited. This involves juggling
time between the domains of life – work, home, social life, hobbies and studies. Which may be applied
to students that are currently engaged into work.
A working student is a person who has work and at the same time go to school as a student.
Some students work in their school for financial assistance and some students work outside as an
employee or a self-employed working student. Students have many reasons to work. One of these is that
they want to help their parents in earning money to meet the needs of their family. These may include
their daily needs such as food, shelter, clothing and education. Some students work to aid their financial
problems upon studying and some wants to gain more experiences. In the Philippines about 216,000
students are currently juggling school and work according to the latest data of Commission on Higher
Education.
There are some students of Cristo Rey High School that experiences difficulties in
managing their time better because of various factors in school such as homeworks, projects, and
performances and factors in work such as simultaneously needs to answer inquiries from customers
while answering and doing school works and insufficient and lack of time which make me wonder how
to manage time efficiently and effectively with some strategies that will be tackled in this research paper.
