This article is extremely helpful, even from the first strategy. I’ve seen the time audit before but never seen someone sort what task was high value, good or low-value work. This makes a lot of sense because even without the audit, I find myself taking much longer to finish the tasks I dislike as I draw them out a lot. I think the time management strategy that was most helpful for me to see written out is to delegate. I am very used to being the only management-oriented person in a room and it is very hard sometimes for me to delegate. I’ve never had that resource before coming here so remembering to do this when I start SM and PMing will be important. The two strategies of having a good morning /evening routine and prioritize the important things are ones that I’ve implemented in my life and already seen the positive effects. Overall, this article brought up some really good points and I can't wait to use all these tips and tricks.
Wow this article is extremely helpful. I’m one hundred percent adding this to my list of management skills. I do an okay job managing my time and getting work done, but this list of skills will definitely help me keep up a good work ethic without excessive stress during the difficult weeks. I really love the idea of auditing, as I try to do a version of this every Sunday before the week starts. Sometimes, it’s really hard to put together a schedule without knowing everything that my week is going to throw at me, but I will be adding the three groups to my weekly planner. I also find the idea of having a perfect morning and night routine very intriguing. Unfortunately, my days are extremely inconsistent, but I’m hoping in the future I’ll be able to create a more stable schedule. I think that the consistency and routine will help destress and creating rhythm and pattern in my life.
This article is both helpful and problematic. I enjoy reading about time management ad how to improve it especially when it comes to CEO’s of big companies and other “successful” people and their habits. One thing you notice over time is that there are certain trends that these successful people have and one of the biggest ones is number six on this list – A morning routine. I don’t know what it is about a morning routine exactly but having your own that you develop for whatever reason really does influence the rest of your day and week simultaneously which quickly filters into your month and year. Some of the tips here are quite helpful but some of them lead me to think this article is targeting a specific group of busy people rather than busy people in general. Based on the earlier tips it makes it seem like this is designed for busy people that have power because they can delegate work down easily or not do other work by hiring someone to do it. What if you don’t have that power, what can you put in place of that to better manage your time while still maintaining the same idea and function? While I do like this article, it is missing something that appeals to more than just a handful of busy people.
As a college student, articles such as these are very important to read. Normally, you would assume that an interview would just be a friendly conversation, but there are definitely things that should and should not be mentioned when trying to get hired for a job. I never usually know what to say when someone asks me about my weaknesses. I don’t want to come off as unqualified or overconfident and I this article does a good job at distinguishing what to say. This article made the interview process a clearly selfless one which can be difficult to remember when speaking about yourself for an hour. I like how they used direct quotes of what people typically say or think is a “good” weakness to state when in an interview. It made many things clear for me and now I feel a little more prepared for when the time comes.
