The Benefits of Time Management on Academic Performance of Grade 12 ABM Students in BCP SY 2018-2019

Abstract

It seems that there is never enough time in the day. But, since we all get the same twenty-four (24) hours, why is it that some people achieve so much more with their time than others? The answer lies in good time management. Time management refers to the way you organize and plan how long you spend time on specific activities to maximize the goals for other activities within the given time. Good time management enables you to work smarter –not harder –so that you get more done in less time even when time is tight and pressure is high. On the other hand, failing to do so causes stress and damages your effectiveness. Unless time is managed properly, nothing worthwhile can be accomplished. Time is also a measure of effort and perseverance in your work. Therefore, time management is often thought of or presented as a set of time management skills. The theory is once we master our time management skills, we’ll be more organized, efficient, and happier. Spending a little time learning about time management techniques will have huge benefits now and throughout your career. The research used a descriptive method to determine the Benefits of Time Management on the Academic Performance of Grade 12 ABM at Bestlink College of the Philippines. The researchers used questionnaires distributed to the 50 selected Grade 12 ABM students. The Likert scale, on the other hand, is the most reliable way to measure opinions, perceptions, and behaviors. How does time management benefit the student’s academic performance in terms of recitation, written works, and projects? Out of 50 respondents from the ABM, these indicators received strongly agree as interpretation which means that most of the respondents strongly agree that good time management benefited them as a student and may improve their academic performance. Managing your time is allotting time where it has the most impact. Time management allows you to spend your time on the things that matter most to you. Managing your time can directly reduce your stress level in doing written works. Fewer surprises mean fewer tight deadlines and less rushing from task-to-task and place-to-place. Time management makes you productive. When you are aware of what you need to do, you can manage your workload better.
