How do you manage your time on a typical day?

How you manage your time is a good way for an interviewer to measure how efficient you are at getting your job done. You can go through a typical day in your current or most recent job as a real life example of how you manage your time. If you plan your days out beforehand explain this process - "I like to plan my week out on Monday" or "I make a list of tasks to be completed the next day every night before I leave the office." Include the tools you use to help organize and manage your time, such as a calendar or a written log of your daily schedule - this shows the interviewer that these are actual tools you use to manage your time. You should also mention how you prioritize tasks and projects, and how you allot time to work on them. If applicable, tell the interviewer how you deal with receiving a new task - this shows your ability to adapt when unexpected things arise.
