at the same level due to a variety of reasons. All the material and human resources

to better decisions, especially if one is not pressured, and thus, by making the right
decisions in a mindful manner, one can attain a successful life just by properly
managing their time. Moreover, time management skills and techniques can be
fundamental qualities in general. And some of the main and primary factors that
should be considered in one’s time management skills are goal setting, planning,
and prioritizing.
A. Goal Setting
involves identifying the desired outcomes and developing a plan for achieving
them.Goals provide a framework for action and direction. They help identify what
needs to be done, by when, and why. Goal setting process also serves as
a motivational tool that helps people focus their efforts, stay on track, and measure
their progress. It can help increase accountability and ensure that resources are
strand students’ time management skills. When students set goals for themselves,
they are more likely to stay motivated and focused. They are also more likely to
develop strategies for achieving their goals. The relationship between goal setting
and time management is reciprocal. Goal setting can help students to improve their
time management skills, and time management skill can help to achieve their goals.
In additional, Panwhar (2016) stated that Effective goal setting can improve time
purpose. It encourages them to use their time efficiently, avoid procrastination, and
stay organized in their academic pursuits. Setting deadlines for completing tasks and
assignments can also help students develop a sense of urgency and accountability.
Research suggests that students who set academic goals are more motivated,
engaged, and persistent in their studies. This increased motivation can enhance
relevant, and time-bound (SMART goals) can provide students with a framework for
success and help them stay on track throughout the academic year.
Setting goals for students varies depending on their abilities and motivation to
complete academic assignments. Students struggle to set goals because they are
ignorant of the specific standards that must be met in each academic area to achieve
(1992), goal-directed action has three characteristics: (1) self-generation: the source
of energy is critical to the organism's survival; (2) value-significance: the activities not
only enable but also require an organism's survival; and (3) goal-causation: the
As stated in the study by Reyes and Galang (2009), the factors that motivate
students to study are comparable to the reasons that motivate them to value
education. As a result, people are inspired to do their best work because they love it
and are challenged by it. Some people have internalized the importance of
education, which serves as a motivator for them. Others study more diligently
b. Planning
According to the study by Fitsimmons (2008), "the first key to good time
pay back heavily in time saved later on. Good planning ensures that you get to a
desirable end with a project or other effort, whether that project is something specific
to your library workplace, or your whole career. " It must be in a written form, which
one’s workload at any particular moment, which accurately shows the complete work
plan for the future and gives an idea of what lies beyond (Forsyth, 2019).
Weinstein, C.E (2023) stated that Planning plays a pivotal role in effective
time management for home economics strand students. It involves setting goals,
planning their time effectively, students can set realistic goals, prioritize tasks, and
develop strategies to achieve those goals. This can lead to improve academic
performanceand success in school. Student needs to plan his day well in advance to
make the best possible use of time. There is no point in working just for the sake of
doing work.
Planning gives an individual a sense of direction in the organization and
motivates him to complete assignments on time.Plan how you want to move forward.
It is important for an individual to set a goal and objective for himself and work hard
towards achieving the same. Detailed planning suggests you the steps towards
realizing your goals at the workplace within a defined time frame.Planning helps an
individual to know what all he needs to do urgently and what all can be done a little
later. To plan things better, employees should prepare a Task Plan where he can jot
down tasks against the time slots assigned to each activity.High priority activities
must come on top followed by the ones which do not require immediate
attention.Planning helps you accomplish urgent and critical tasks way ahead of
c. Prioritizing
resources, and attention to ensure that the most crucial tasks are addressed first.
Wolters, C. A., & Brady, A. C. (2021), states that effective planning serves as
providing them with a structured framework to allocate their time and resources
challenges that may arise. Moreover, planning facilitates the integration of goal-
setting strategies, allowing students to align their academic goals with actionable
plans for achievement. Through the process of planning, students can prioritize
established in order to complete all of the tasks that must be completed. Prioritization
is important because it allows you to focus your attention on tasks that are important
and urgent so that you can later focus on tasks that are lower priority. If you do not
take the time to prioritize, you will struggle to complete tasks on time, worry about
how you will complete everything on your to-do list, and be unproductive. These are
the reasons why prioritization is important. If you do not organize your schedule by
priority, you might miss important tasks that you should've put at the top of your list
first.

Theoretical Framework
The Pickle Jar theory serves as a visual metaphor to determine what is useful
and what is not useful. It helps you to set your priorities for daily life and plan tasks in
such a way, that you have time to spare instead of too few hours in a day. The Pickle
Jar theory is popular for time management. The Pickle Jar Theory provides insight
into our timetable and offers opportunities to make an efforteveryday to put our most
important tasks at the top of the list everyday. Only then does it get easier to handle
and actually meet deadlines. By not letting our daily activities be interrupted by the
sand that’s slipping by, it becomes easier to focus on the main tasks. The insight
becomes even more clear by working with to-do lists. By considering what tasks still
need to be done in advance, you’ll be able to treat the most important tasks as
