What tools do you use to stay on task and meet deadlines? How do you prioritize when everything demands your attention at once? Think about the ways you manage your projects and daily tasks. Do you keep a calendar? Do you set reminders? Sometimes a to-do list is helpful when organizing your time because it can help you prioritize what needs to happen next. Paying attention to which tasks require the most time and which ones bring the most value are ways you can pick and choose what needs to happen in your schedule. What are some ways you have found work best for you to manage your time at work?

"I will determine which project requires my attention by the number of hours we are behind and then the project size. I am comfortable delegating tasks when needed, but I am also aware that these times will require an additional commitment of hours from me. Never have I under delivered on a deadline."

I like to block schedule my day to manage my tasks. I believe by doing so, I can prioritize my tasks, have space for any emergencies, and allow time to take breaks as needed. This formula has worked well for me and I have an excellent track record of completing projects on time.

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! It sounds like you have a great process in place for managing your time effectively. Can you talk a bit more about what exactly block scheduling is and how it works? Consider adding an example of a time when you successfully managed your time and/or talking about some of the time management tools you use (calendars, time management software or apps, planners, lists, etc.) Good job!
