Korean numbers (하나,둘...) are usually used when talking about time time in hours and when you're counting things, people or actions.
Sino-Korean numbers (일,이...) are used for counting money, measuring, math, phone numbers, when you're talking about time in any way other than hours (minutes, weeks, even years..), month names and counting months.
I hope that was helpful.

Also when you're talking about how old you are you should use Korean numbers and after 60 it's more natural to use Sino-Korean numbers
