Time Management Strategies of Generation Z Students in Completing Academic Assignments Amidst Student Organization Activities

This study aims to explore the time management strategies used by Generation Z students in completing academic assignments amidst their active involvement in student organizations. The research background is based on the phenomenon of increasing student academic workloads coupled with high-intensity organizational activities, thus demanding effective time management skills. The research method used a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews involving six students from various departments and universities. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of strategies, obstacles, and support received by students in managing time. The study results show that students generally prioritize academic tasks over organizational activities, utilizing written schedules, alarms, and daily journaling as reminders. The main obstacles they face are laziness, physical exhaustion, and scheduling conflicts between lectures and organizational activities. However, support from friends, lecturers, and organizational leaders helps students balance academic and organizational responsibilities. The study concluded that key time management skills are prioritization, consistency, and avoiding procrastination. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of developing time management training programs for active organizational students and the need for institutional support to help students maintain a balance between academic, organizational, and personal life.
