forced to take out student loans, which is the major reason they work part-time.
In the Philippines, it has also been noticed that the number of college and
university students who work has grown over time. The Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) reported that almost 216,000 students in the Philippines are
now combining school and work, and approximately 8% of all college students in
the country are working students (Abenoja et al., 2019). This is mostly due to the
opportunities, Filipino working students have more possibilities than in the past.

family finances also contribute to the need for students to work while studying.

Conceptual Framework
The present study is anchored in the theory of three surfaces of time

activities that need preparation within the day or week. Time attitudes are more

suggests that life is like jars with limited space. That limited space represents
time, and it is every individual’s responsibility to make the best use of it. In this
theory, sand, pebbles, and fist-sized rocks were utilized to represent the activities
people engage in their everyday lives. The sand represents the distractions or
tasks with less importance such as leisure. The pebbles, on the other hand,
represent the tasks with average importance. Then, the rocks represent the tasks
that are very important, and if ever one failed to do such, unsatisfying outcomes
occur. This theory clearly says that individuals should learn to prioritize their most
important tasks since they have the greatest impact on their lives. Moreover, by
effectively planning one's time, one may accomplish necessary tasks while
Wright's (2002) theory stressed the need for planning time in order to fully
working students. The pickle jar idea served as a guide in developing the time
management plan.

A report by the UCLA Labor Center in March 2020 revealed that among
the 850 working students surveyed from public community colleges and four-year

ideal for certain activities. In this definition of time management, it is not time that
individuals manage to fully utilize it, but themselves. That is due to the fact that
the only limitation that prohibits individuals from completely utilizing time is their

must be completed, and this number will continue to grow as the days pass.
However, by making good use of time, a person may lessen the number of
concerns that plague his mind since the tasks that need to be completed have
been accomplished, allowing him to move on to the next tasks (Team Leverage
Edu, 2020).
Physical health is also taken care of with time management since it allows
people to rest because they will no longer need to stay up late to complete
pending tasks. This chance to recharge will allow individuals to replenish the
energy they used during the day, allowing them to be more productive. Time
management may also create a positive mindset. People understand the worth of
tasks that are of high value and could benefit them, such as reading, doing
way of life by instilling discipline, which they may apply to other parts of their lives

and bored with their life cycle, but through time management, they can take time
off to rest and do what they want to do to enjoy themselves (Ho, 2018).
There are three primary time management skills that divide success from
awareness skills. The idea behind the concept of arrangement indicates people's
tendency to create and organize goals, plans, schedules, and activities in order
to make better use of their time. These skills are often greatly beneficial in
increasing productivity and ensuring that all tasks are completed. Finally,
adaptation entails keeping track of one's time while doing activities, such as
tasks and planning their completion, providing students with more essential
working students that enables them to meet the demands of their daily activities,
in school and work and even in their personal lives (Wilson, Joiner, & Abassi,
2021).
management strategies that surely help people use their time effectively. The first
is understanding how to spend time by using a time log. Knowing how much time
is necessary for routine tasks can help a person become more realistic in
planning and predicting how much time is available for other activities. The
second strategy is to set priorities by creating a “to-do list”. This strategy assists
people in focusing on important activities, giving them better control over their
time and possibly reducing the number of important tasks that become urgent.
The third strategy is to utilize a planning tool, such as a planner, calendar, phone
app, wall chart, index card, pocket diary, or notepad. This is extremely beneficial
since putting down one's tasks, schedules, and things to remember allows one's

activities he or she wants to do. The sixth strategy is to learn to delegate or seek
assistance from others since this will allow a person to save time and focus on
slows down a person's work process and progress. This can be accomplished by
preparatory activities, and then completing the larger work at hand. The eighth
strategy is to eliminate time-wasters, which are things that add no value to your
life, such as watching television all day. The ninth strategy is to quit multitasking
because research has shown that it does not save time but rather takes up time
when moving from one task to another, resulting in a loss of productivity. The
final strategy is to take care of one's health because having a healthy body
result, this phenomenon becomes much more challenging, making it harder for
time managers to manage their time effectively. The first identified problem is the
reality that there is a time limitation. Since everyone is given just twenty-four
hours each day, half of which is allotted for rest and the other half for labor, most
individuals only have eight to twelve hours to perform a vast number of tasks.

should be removed from one's system. The third problem is that distractions are

that earlier research has largely missed an essential facet of the issue of working

large multi-campus university in the United States and student earnings data
working for pay during college earned, on average, more after graduating than
comparable students who did not work. Even after adjusting for demographic and
academic success variables, across many student subgroups, and using models
that account for selection bias, this post-college earnings premium is comparable
to the advantage of finishing a degree. The authors argue that working while
studying has greater benefits in terms of earning in the long run and after
graduation.

equivalent or greater than the other. Also, working students have more
responsibilities in life than just being students and workers since they may also
be parents, friends, and sons or daughters who take care of their elderly parents.

There are two types of pacing styles: wasting effort and wasting time.
Wasting effort refers to a pacing style where students try hard but are inefficient
in their use of time, whereas wasting time refers to a pacing style where students
do not invest enough time or effort. Students who wasted effort had lower
academic performance than those who did not waste effort, whereas students
who wasted time did not show any significant differences in academic

overwhelmed and unsure of how to make the most of their viewing time.

Stress and mental health problems may be exacerbated by more personal and
students. Working students who balance everything from family and friends to
studies and jobs understand how complicated it gets. It is a major concern for
students who are pursuing their education while also working. There are a lot of
challenges and problems that working students encounter while balancing work
and school. Lack of sleep is one of the greatest challenges of being a working
student. The double journey (work and study) of working students makes their
schedule rigorous and gives them a limited amount of time to complete all of their
tasks. When they get home from work, instead of resting and falling asleep
straight away, they still have schoolwork to complete, which takes away their
sleep time. If it doesn't take up all of their time, they might be able to go out with
some friends later that night. The choice then is between getting some much-
needed sleep, finishing their studies, or having fun and seeing how long they can
go without sleep. Furthermore, the weekends are the only times when they can
rest and relax. This is not it, as they may still have an early morning shift at work

Being a student is already exhausting, and gaining more obligations can cause
demotivation, particularly if the tasks are arduous. The final challenge they face
is feeling lonely and isolated due to the majority of their time being occupied with
work and studies, leaving very little time to spend with loved ones. At times, they
may not have any time at all to socialize with friends and family (Razak, 2022).
The role of a working student is like going into the hole of a needle as it is
very hard to do which makes it in need of patience and perseverance. This role
presents various difficulties, including stress. Being in a situation where one has
to balance work and studies can generate a significant amount of pressure and
stress due to the presence of stringent deadlines that must be met. Employed
students must complete numerous tasks within these deadlines to maintain both
their job and good grades. Additionally, working students also worry about the
expenses they need to cover, which can contribute to their stress levels.
Experiencing high levels of stress can negatively impact both the mental and
physical well-being of an individual, and this is the difficult reality that working
students have to endure to meet their financial needs. Likewise, juggling two
obligations can lead to burnout for anyone who attempts it. This is due to the fact
that both work and education entail a plethora of tasks, and an individual who is
engaged in both aspects of life is required to devote the same level of effort to
each task. As a result, the energy available in the body is usually depleted, and
confront in their daily lives. Having two obligations to manage means a lot of

skipping a class or a day's work. This can happen when their work schedule
clashes with their school schedule, particularly if they are not attending a
university that caters to working students and has an online class setup. This
situation can also occur if the student fails to inform their employer of their
individual's current time management status. A good time management plan can
assist people in accomplishing all their urgent tasks quickly (Indeed Team, 2022).
To achieve one's goals, one must first create a plan to attain them. Lack of

struggling to find the time to complete certain tasks. It can also aid in enhancing

the chances of feeling overwhelmed or stressed. This is because one will have a
enjoyable life. Also, having an effective time management plan can create
additional free time as a person can accomplish more within a shorter period.
This free time can then be utilized for leisure activities, hobbies, or other
such as studies, family, and leisure activities. The ideal time management plan
differs from person to person and depends on individual factors like personality,
effective steps. Initially, it involves creating a comprehensive list of all the tasks to
be completed. For instance, if a student intends to study for the day, rather than
considering studying as a single task, they can subdivide the study session into
smaller tasks such as reviewing a specific subject. This approach simplifies task
essential to recognize which tasks require immediate attention and which ones
have pressing deadlines or demand more effort than others. The most time-
critical activities should be positioned at the top of the list, with less time-sensitive
ones following at the bottom. After completing the task list, the subsequent step
is to incorporate breaks into the plan. It is crucial to allocate time for rest and

Also, after going to school or work instead of resting, they still have to do
household chores or take care of their younger family members. Moreover, they
stated that the lack of rest has caused them to have illnesses like fever.
This problem is very common for working students since they are juggling
two responsibilities in a day or week, which leaves them with little or no time to
rest and recharge. The additional responsibilities, like household chores, also limit
their time for rest. In many cases, they may have to work long hours or take on
extra shifts in order to make ends meet, which can leave them feeling tired and
drained. Therefore, a lack of rest can lead to a range of physical and mental
decreased productivity. It can also affect the quality of their work, which can have

Dela Fuente, who found that time management has an impact on students who
work. These students reported that they struggle to perform at their best due to
the demands of both work and school. This is a common challenge faced by
working students. They also noted that students were aware of the limited time
available to study for exams and quizzes, and that they had to be careful with their
finances to cover their daily expenses. They suggest that students should be

it, along with the name of the activity, in a notebook or notes application on their

their level of importance, using a priority matrix. Next, estimate the time required

blocks, calculate the total number of hours and determine the amount of time

time blocks. To implement the schedule, use a calendar app or paper and pen,

a fluid flow for their day by dedicating specific blocks of time to certain tasks. This
can help boost attention to detail and reduce errors, leading to higher-quality
work. Finally, time blocking creates a sense of control for students, which can
help reduce stress and anxiety. By planning out their day and allocating time for
specific tasks, students can gain more control over their schedule and feel more
in control of their time. This can also improve their decision-making skills and
overall organizational skills. In the long run, time blocking can help working
students stay organized, on track, and in control of their time, ultimately leading
