Time Management Profile

 

Instructions

 

Complete the following questionnaire by indicating "Y" (yes) or "N" (no) for each item. Force yourself to respond with a yes or no. Be frank and allow your responses to create n accurate picture of how you tend to respond to these kinds of situations.

 

_____ 1.  When confronted with several items of similar urgency and

                importance, I tend to do the easiest one first.

_____ 2.  I do the most important things during that part of the day when I know I

                perform best.

_____ 3.  Most of the time I don't do things someone else can do; I delegate this

                type of work to others.

_____ 4.  Even though meetings without a clear and useful purpose upset me, I

                put up with them.

_____ 5.  I skim documents before reading them, and don't complete ny that  

                offer a low return on my time investment.

_____ 6.  I don't worry much if I don't accomplish at least one significant task

                each day.

_____ 7.  I save the most trivial tasks for that time of day when my creative

                energy is lowest.

_____ 8.  My workspace is neat and organized.

 

_____ 9.  My office door is always "open"; I never work in complete privacy.

 

_____ 10. I schedule my time completely from start-to-finish every workday.

 

_____ 11. I don't like "to do" lists, preferring to respond to daily events as they

                occur.

_____ 12. I "block" a certain amount of time each day or week that is dedicated

                to high- priority activities.

 

Scoring

 

Count the number of "Y" responses to items 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 12.

[Enter that score here _____].

Count the number of "N" responses to items 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 11.

[Enter that score here _____].

Add the two scores together.

 

Interpretation

 

The higher the total score, the closer your behavior matches recommended time management guidelines. Reread those items where your response did not match the desired one. Why don't they match? Do you have reasons why your behavior in this instance should be different from the recommended time management guideline? Think about what you can do (and how easily it can be done) to adjust your behavior to be more consistent with these guidelines.
