Deloitte values productivity and accountability, so this question is designed to understand your ability to prioritize, organize and time manage your projects. Your answer provides insight into your decision-making skills and how you react under pressure.
Be clear and concise when giving your answer, and don't be negative or complain about colleagues or your manager in the response. Use this opportunity to highlight your ability to multi-task and explain your techniques for staying organized and setting realistic expectations. You can also focus on how you may have gotten other team members involved and delegated tasks to be more effective. Use this opportunity to showcase your communication skills!

"I manage my time by exercising the idea of 'time-blocking.' This process means that I won't incessantly check my email; instead, I will allow myself to return emails in 30-minute time blocks four times per day. Setting calendar alerts and personal deadlines for myself has also helped."

"I make lists of things that need to be done and their priority. I use a color-coding system in Sheets when making my lists. I have weekly touchpoints with my manager for accountability and recalibration of the current priorities. I also collaborate with peers to share best practices and ensure we're all being as effective as we can be with templates and documents, etc."

Very carefully! I prioritize deadlines and work that needs completion and then work backward from there. When necessary, I utilize my resources and team to pitch in and contribute.
Stephanie's Feedback
This is a great start, but I suggest adding some more specific details about how you manage your time and stay organized (example: Google Calendar, Calendly, Asana, any internal systems you use, etc.) You mention utilizing resources--what does that look like for you? Adding a few additional details will help to take your answer from good to great!
