Answer Example
"I am confident in my time management skills and use multiple tools to ensure my time is divided appropriately throughout the week. Just last month, I had a major exam to grade for 35 students. Knowing I was under a tight timeframe to grade these, I turned off my phone and email and spent two hours focusing solely on grading before I moved to another task. Blocking off sections of time in my calendar to focus is very helpful for me. At the beginning of each week, I also make a list of all of my to-dos and plan out time to complete each one."
