Summary/Abstract: Presentation of teachers’ opinions on the perception of time and managing their professional tasks during working time. The research was of a diagnostic nature, conducted through usage of a diagnostic survey, particularly the Time Methapor questionnaire by Małgorzata Sobol-Kwapińska. Additionally, the respondents answered questions contained in the inventory of teacher’s tasks, developed by the author. The assessment of individual time categories by the majority of respondents is in the upper limit of low results, with the exception of the Fast passing of time scale and the Pleasant time subscale, which obtained an average result. The respondents considered most of the given tasks to be urgent and important (44%), followed by tasks that were not urgent and important (25%), urgent and not important (19%), and not urgent and not important (12%). Research has shown that teachers experience time calmly and confidently to a small extent, and derive joy and pleasure from it to an average degree. They have a low sense of efficient and creative use of time. They do not see time as an enemy, so they rarely point to its negative aspects. They have a feeling of time passing quickly. Some results suggest that they may have problems achieving goals, planning and organizing their own time. The distribution of tasks included in the Time Management matrix shows that almost half of them were considered urgent and important. This may be due to the fact that these tasks fall into key areas of their work. The obtained results require further research, which may enrich the area of pedeutology with the issue of time as a category and bring closer various solutions in planning professional work and personal development of teachers.
