responsibilities, and individual time management skills are all contributors of several
factors that can influence students' ability to strike a balance between their studies and
personal life. These factors warrant further examination to ascertain how they
attain. In the pursuit of academic excellence, students often find themselves grappling
with the challenge of balancing their study commitments with other aspects of their
lives. Smith and Brown (2016) conducted a comprehensive study revealing that students

The importance of studying life balance for students has gained increasing
attention in recent years due to the growing pressures and demands on students in
academia. , there remains a notable research gap in understanding the nuanced factors
that influence and optimize study-life balance. While existing studies have explored the
impact of study-life balance on students' mental and physical well-being, there is a lack

balance.
This research can shed light on the specific stressors and factors that affect
students' ability to balance their academic and personal lives. This knowledge can
inform the development of targeted interventions and support systems, which, in turn,
environments.
Moreover, addressing this research gap can promote inclusivity, considering that
students from diverse backgrounds may face unique challenges in achieving a balance.
On the flip side, one challenge is the subjectivity and variability of individual
when proposing one-size-fits-all solutions, which may not address the complex,
multifaceted nature of this issue. Furthermore, ethical concerns arise when delving into
the personal lives of students, which necessitates a careful and responsible approach to
achieving high grades necessitates sacrificing personal time. It's essential to analyze
whether the impact of the study-life balance differs across various academic disciplines
The study aims to investigate the impact of study-life balance on students' well-

Time management is fast becoming a primary priority for people in both their

control you feel over your time and your life. To make time management a lifelong habit,
you must practice self-discipline. Effective control is the ability to compel yourself to do

regardless of how you feel about it. This is essential for achievement. Then comes
disappointment, the misuse of someone’s time could lead to dismay. Time management is
a life skill that can help us avoid disappointment. All these things can be avoided at once
if we set aside time for careful and proper planning. Since it lowers costs, efficient time

us to make the most of our leisure time. Discipline is advantageous for anything. There is

discipline.
Time management exercises will help you develop discipline in your daily life.
Another perception in time management is that working continuously is not the only
aspect of time management. It also suggests that we have free time to pursue interests or
priorities outside of our commitments. This extra time will liberate us and allow us to
relax stress-free. Simply having fun is what this is. The right activity must receive the
appropriate quantity of time. Not all of one's time should be spent at studies. There must
be designated time for family time and having fun with pals. The person can relax
because of this. It will also increase output in useful areas. Thus, giving the proper
amount of time to each activity becomes the final aspect of time management

Fleming (2011) said that individuals who can complete tasks within the allotted time
frame better their lives and maintain alignment not only inside their organization but also
with their colleagues and families. To succeed and improve student performance,
teachers must effectively manage their time. Razali et al., (2018) figured out the
connection between the students’ academic success and their time management. The
outcome of the factor analysis identified three key time management components, which
can be categorized as time planning, time attitudes, and time wasting. To make sure that
urgent tasks are completed first, this entails setting clear objectives and making a to-do
list (Marzano, 2017). To prevent last-minute surprises and make the most of their time,
students should organize their daily, weekly, and monthly agendas in advance.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter was designed to discuss the methods that have been used in
gathering, collecting, and interpreting the data to answer the research questions of the
study. It explains the research design, sampling techniques, and data collection methods
used; and describes how data collected from the research has been analyzed.
Research Design
This study will be conducted using the descriptive design. Descriptive Part of a
study will involve the Senior High School students’ perception in the study life balance
will use a research made survey. It will involve a description, recording analysis, and
interpretation of the data facts regarding the student-respondents. Actual survey will be
given to students- respondents during the school 2023-2024, Researchers can determine
the perception of Senior High school students regarding the academic performance in
situation, or population. More specifically, it helps answer the what, when, where, and
how questions regarding the research problem rather than the why. So, this type of
research is used to describe and interpret the data being studied based on fact that is

Therefore, this study analyzed the students’ difficulties in reading report text and
the factors that were caused in report text. According to Williams (2007), descriptive
research is a type of study that looks into the circumstance where characteristics of a
kind of research serves to describe and analyze the data being investigated based on
evidence that is precise theories. It implies that the condition is related to descriptive
study. Occurs at that time, makes use of one or more variables, and then looks into the
facts. As a result, this study examined the students’ struggles with report text reading.
