Time Management
Assess
your time management skills.
I am the type of person who likes to
get things done; no matter how hard or challenge the task is. From the moment I
get to work, I began prioritizing my day. I review all incoming emails and tickets
in order to determine what emails/tickets need to be completed in what order, I
schedule time to review all outstanding documents within my verification que, and
I allot time each day to return all incoming phone calls. Within a given day, I am responsible for,
answering emails, responding to tickets, returning phone calls, reviewing/completing
documents from within my que; among other things. However, due to the amount of
incoming emails, tickets, phone calls ext. I find it difficult to complete all
tasks within a given day. Therefore, I must find a way to manage my time and
complete as many tasks as I can.
Evaluate
how these skills have increased your locus of control.
Due to my situation, locus of
control cannot be determined. Although I feel that I am in control of time, I
cannot control of the amount of incoming emails, phone calls, tickets ext. In addition I cannot control the type or
amount of additional assigned to me by my supervisor. Once more, I cannot
anticipate the amount or length of meetings in which I am required to attend.
As a result of my inability to determine the above listed tasks/ meetings, I sometimes
cannot effectively schedule my time and I often fall behind in my work.
Identify
three new areas in which improved time management skills would reduce stress.
1. Be sure to read each email completely and answer all
questions fully – this will prevent additional emails from students
2. Pay attention to deadlines
3. Continue adding responses to Quickparts
4. Seek help and guidance from others
Add
an action plan to integrate these to your daily routine.
By displaying each of the above time
management skills on my whiteboard at work I will be able to integrate each skill into my
daily routine.
