Students' time management was one of the factors contributing to students' learning outcomes. Time management during a forced-distance-learning was particularly interesting to be studied, since students were practicing it independently at home without teacher's direct supervision. Therefore, students depended solely on their discipline in managing their learning time at home to conduct distance learning. The purpose of this study was to gauge the impact of students' time management on students' learning outcome during distance learning due to Covid-19 pandemic. Previous studies have shown the positive correlation between time management and learning outcomes. The sampling technique was convenience sampling with 72 students participating in Basic Building Construction course in Spring Semester 2019/2020 at State Vocational High School 5 Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The variable of time management was elaborated into two aspects, namely schedule planning and activities of adhering to the schedule. Statistical analysis used was correlation and regression analysis. There was a positive correlation between time management and learning outcomes. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that there was a statistically significant impact of students' time management on online learning outcomes. The effect of time management on learning outcomes accounted for 45.2% of the variance of learning outcomes. This study conformed previous studies which showed the positive correlation between the two variables. In addition, this study highlighted students' time management during online learning could was more determined by the variable of adhering to schedule set in the time planning process. This study informs teachers and schools to assist students to practice time management independently during distance learning.
. Public open space performs an important role to enhance the quality of community living as well as being beneficial in maintaining the ecosystem.
