Time Management : Set Priorities to Get the Right Things Done

TIME MANAGEMENT IN THE WORKPLACE

wastes your time—especially when you’re at your
busiest. Colleagues impose demands on your
time every day: by sending confusing messages
or setting unclear expectations, chatting about
irrelevant topics, calling unnecessary meetings,
and being late to meetings. And in turn, you
need to be aware of how you may be imposing
demands on other people’s time.

Communicating Efficiently
To be respectful of other people’s time, it is critical
to become a good communicator. If you cannot
clearly communicate a message, you might send
a coworker on a wild goose chase that squanders

through time management.

You also have a strong sense

of boundaries between work

time and personal time. More

than that, you don’t tend to

derive your personal identity

or sense of self-worth from the

work you do. You value your

personal time as well as your

relationships with family and

friends. You do run the risk of

being too detached from work

and not balancing your time

adequately.
