This study aims to improve the effectiveness of employee time management through training and mentoring at PT Kasih Jaya Sejahtera, Malang Regency. The method used was a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews with company owners, operational workers, and HR managers, as well as field observations from January to March 2025. The results of the activities showed an increase in employee ability to set work priorities, adherence to schedules, and efficiency in completing daily tasks. In addition, unique implementations such as the "Daily Focus Zone" system and daily digital monitoring emerged as innovations in time management practices. The discussion of the results indicates that the training and mentoring not only impacted individual behavior changes but also strengthened a disciplined and collaborative work culture within the company environment. These findings align with previous studies that emphasize the importance of time management in HR development and increasing organizational productivity. Despite limitations in the duration of the activities and the scope of participants, the results show great potential for the sustainability of similar programs in the future.

This community service initiative aims to cultivate reflective financial behavior among student startup founders who rely on bootstrapping as their primary funding strategy. Conducted over four months, the program engaged a student-led startup operating in both private tutoring and catfish farming sectors. The initiative addressed common behavioral finance biases—such as overconfidence, sunk cost fallacy, and status quo bias—through contextualized education, reflective journaling, decision-mapping, and low-cost tools like pre-mortem analysis and behavioral checklists. The results revealed tangible improvements in financial self-awareness, decision quality, and emotional regulation. Participants began implementing structured pause points before making financial commitments, differentiated financial logic between service-based and production-based businesses, and revised pricing strategies based on both operational realities and psychological insight. The program also fostered a psychologically safe environment for discussing financial anxiety and learning from failure. This intervention demonstrates that reflective financial education can serve as an impactful and scalable early-stage support model for young entrepreneurs. Its low-barrier, behaviorally-informed approach can be replicated across educational institutions and community-based startup ecosystems, particularly those lacking formal financial mentorship structures. The outcomes suggest that empowering founders to understand their financial behavior is just as crucial as teaching them to manage financial tools.
