Abstract

There are theoretical arguments and research background to prove the relationship between daily routines and tensions that affect health and well-being. 
In the daily life people respond increasingly accelerated to needs and work, occupation, study and home demands. Stress and the career mind syndrome are typical examples of some imbalance.
Universities have studied themselves from historical, political and didactic aspect and students problematic such as: early and late desertion and academic performance.
Daily routines and the students perception of the occupational balance, it is a slightly developed topic.
This research, accredited by the National University of Quilmes, is now in the initial stage. It is going to be a qualitative research, with phenomenological approach, a participatory action research – type, to encourage the students from the University to participate.
It hopes to achieve the production of knowledge to characterize the daily routines and the students occupational balance perception, for the early detection of indicators of occupational imbalance and the elaboration of proposals to confront it, which will reduce any health costs.
