| Abstract (English): | Time management is an essential skill for everyone, especially young people, who often face the pressure of balancing studies, work, social life, and other responsibilities. However, formal education on how to effectively organize time is not always provided. While it is possible to learn independently, receiving guidance on how to better allocate time, distinguish between urgent and important tasks, and understand the fundamentals of the process can make a significant difference in terms of productivity and personal well-being. Based on this premise, the present article aims to analyze the importance that young people from Melilla attribute to time management and to explore the significance they place on acquiring self-regulation skills. This study is based on qualitative research in which data was collected through interviews conducted with 97 participants, all of whom were young residents of the city of Melilla, aged between 18 and 35 years, selected incidentally. The results highlight the need for engaging in leisure activities during free time to achieve personal, physical, and psychological well-being, as well as learning how to manage, organize, and plan their time effectively to achieve goals and increase productivity. Finally, the findings emphasize the relevance and usefulness of teaching time management, both formally and informally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | La gestión del tiempo es una habilidad esencial para cualquier persona, especialmente para la juventud, quienes a menudo enfrentan la presión de equilibrar estudios, trabajo, vida social y otras responsabilidades. Sin embargo, muchas veces no se recibe una educación formal sobre cómo organizar el tiempo de manera efectiva. Si bien se puede aprender de forma autodidacta, recibir orientación sobre cómo distribuir mejor el tiempo, aprender a identificar lo urgente de lo importante, y comprender lo fundamental del proceso puede marcar la diferencia en términos de productividad y bienestar personal. Bajo esta fundamentación, el presente artículo pretende analizar la relevancia que los y las jóvenes melillenses otorgan a la gestión del tiempo, y ahondar en la importancia que estos confieren a la adquisición de las habilidades de autorregulación. Se parte de una investigación cualitativa donde se recogieron datos a través de la técnica de la entrevista dirigida a 97 participantes seleccionados de manera incidental, siendo todos/as jóvenes residentes en la Ciudad de Melilla con una edad comprendida entre 18 y 35 años. Los resultados muestran la necesidad de realizar actividades de ocio en su tiempo libre para adquirir un bienestar personal, físico y psicológico, así como aprender a saber gestionar, organizar y planificar su tiempo para lograr objetivos y ser más productivos. Finalmente, se evidencia la relevancia en la utilidad de la enseñanza de la gestión del tiempo, tanto a nivel formal como informal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Os resultados destacam a necessidade de realizar atividades de lazer no tempo livre para alcançar bem-estar pessoal, físico e psicológico, além de aprender a gerenciar, organizar e planejar o tempo de forma eficaz para atingir objetivos e ser mais produtivo.
