TIME MANAGEMENT
ย
ANSWERS
ย
ย
How do you plan your day? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
Itโs such a shame to admit this but Iโm terrible at planning or organizing my day. If I plan my day ahead, I just end up not following what I plan. And because of that, Iโve made up my mind not to plan things, I just want my day to be spontaneous (natural) so I can be more productive, in my opinion.ย ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Well, I always make a to-do list for the next day before I hit the hay (go to bed) since I have a tendency to miss doing some important things on the day theyโre supposed to be completed. By writing those things on a notepad on my smartphone, Iโm guided on the things that I need to fulfill for the day and honestly, that practice helps me improve my productivity.ย ย
ย
Is it easy for you to manage time? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
That really depends on my mood! If Iโm so inspired, managing my time is not a worry. I can easily manage my time without any pressure or stress, that is, I can do the things that I need to do seamlessly (without a problem or interruption). But if I feel the opposite, I become a time-waster.ย ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Yes, Iโm very good at it and thatโs because I was trained by my mom not to waste my time. Sheโs actually a disciplinarian that she didnโt want me to spend so much time doing trivial (unimportant) things such as socializing on social media or playing computer games. I was scared of my mom back then that I never disobeyed her. And you know what, Iโm thankful that she was like that to me asย I learned how to value my time.ย ย
ย
When do you find it hard to allocate time? ย
ย
(Answer 1) ย
ย
Obviously, when Iโm incredibly busy with my work or my personal life, thatโs when I have trouble giving my time to others or to another task. Itโs just impossible for me to squeeze someone or something in (to manage to do something when you are very busy) and sadly I sometimes feel guilty about it.ย ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Wellโฆlet me think. OhโฆI believe when Iโm doing something very important that needs to be completed sooner. Thatโs the only time that I can never spare (afford to give) some of my time to someone or something because obviously, I need to concentrate on what I need to do. I believe anyone in that situation can never entertain people or do another task. ย
ย
Do you like being busy? ย
ย
(Answer 1)ย ย
ย
Not at all and I donโt think thereโs someone in this world who wants to be busy. Busyness (the condition of having a great deal to do) is a killer โ it halts (stops) you from doing your hobbies; seeing your friends; spending time with your grandparents or parents; and more importantly living a healthy life.ย ย
ย
(Answer 2) ย
ย
Yes, I do but not all the time. I like being busy with work because it simply shows that Iโm contributing something valuable to the company. However, if busyness is out of hand (not under control) and if it affects my mental health, I abhor (hate; despise) it. ย
