Time Management Assessment

Time management is the ability to plan and control how you spend the hours in your day to effectively accomplish your goals. Poor time management can be related to procrastination as well as lack of self-control. Skills involved in managing your time include planning for the future, setting goals, prioritizing tasks, and monitoring where your time actually goes.

But developing time management skills doesn’t happen all at once; it’s a journey. And it starts with a person becoming more aware of how they are currently spending their time.

One of the greatest factors contributing to stress is the inability to manage time.

At the same time, good time management skills allow you to organize your life and be more productive, both at work and at home.

This brief questionnaire lets you do a quick assessment of the time management trouble spots that you may be experiencing. As you take this assessment, please consider your daily routines at the present time.
