Akan tetapi, pada peneliti ini menggunakan semua kelas untuk memilih sample kelas penelitian. Dalam menentukan sample, peneliti menggunakan teknik simple random sampling. Dalam mengumpulkan data, peneliti menggunakan angket dan wawancara untuk melihat manajemen waktu siswa dan skor nilai untuk melihat pencapaian pembelajaran bahasa Inggris siswa di kelas XI SMAN 1 Pulau Punjug. Dalam menganalisa data, peneliti menggunakan rumus Riduwan, yaitu korelasi Pearson Product Moment. Setelah menganalisa data, peneliti menemukan nilai r- hitung adalah 0.819. Hasil dari r- tabel adalah 0.291 dengan level signifikan 0.05 dan degree of freedom (df=n-2). Ini berarti r- hitung lebih tinggi dari pada r- table (0.819 > 0.291.

The first problem related to time management. Some students collected their homework lately because they thought it was hard to do it. Thus, they often postponed to finish it and got low score. Then,
some students often did activities out of their learning. They did not know of their task as a student. Moreover, some students forgot to bring their stationery. It happened because when they came back home, they did not go back to their home but they played with their friends. At night, they felt tired and not ready to prepare their school requirements. Thus, they were not ready to participate in classroom activity. In addition, some students forgot to bring their book because often played mobile phone at night. They did not see school schedule. They just got information from their teacher in the classroom. Therefore, they got poor achievement at the end of the semester.
