Survey Report: Time Pressure and Priorities:

Analyzing the Factors of Time Management as a
Dilemma that affects the academic performance of
Grade 10 Students of FTHS
This survey was conducted at Florentino Torres High School (FTHS). Its purpose
was to discover the seriousness of time management difficulties and their impact on
academic performance, with a focus on Grade 10 students at this school. On July 2,
2023, the survey was distributed to 100 students. The survey was conducted by means
of a questionnaire given to Grade 10 students to complete. The first part of the
questionnaire addressed the effectiveness of how respondents utilize their time. The
second section focused on identifying possible reasons for experiencing difficulties in
time management. The third section explored the potential effects of inefficient time
utilization. The final section delves into possible strategies for preventing poor time
management.

From the table of data, the most significant items are as follows. In the first section
31% are experiencing difficulties in using their time effectively. The findings on the
second section states that 56 or 10.05% experience schedule conflict as a cause of
time management issues. In the third section, the data indicates that 70% of
respondents believe that cramming activities constitute the primary effect of inefficient
time use. Following closely, with a total of 42%, is the involvement of disrupted body
clocks, sharing the second rank. Regarding the third rank, feeling anxious emerges as
another potential effect of poor time management, totaling 40%. In the final section, it is
revealed that 61% of respondents chose focusing on priority and important tasks as the
most plausible solution to avoid inefficient time use. Ranking second, with 42% of
respondents, is the choice to avoid distractions. Lastly, for 41% of respondents, doing
the easiest tasks first and then proceeding to the harder ones ranks third.

In conclusion, the Torres High School survey reveals a diverse range of time
management tactics employed by pupils. Prioritizing critical activities, avoiding
distractions, and tackling simpler tasks first emerged as prominent strategies. These
findings underscore the importance of guiding students in developing effective time
management skills, emphasizing the need for support to overcome obstacles and
enhance overall productivity.
