Time Management

A Time Check
Use the questionnaire to review your use of time this week

	1. Have I wasted time? How much? How?

	2. How much time was given to what I think is important?

	3. Did I use my travelling time constructively?

	4. Did I use any ‘waiting time’ to advantage?

	5. How much time did I allocate to my priorities?

	6. How organised was I each day in knowing what I wanted to achieve?

	7. Did anything not get done that I wished had been done, because I put if off until another time?

	8. Have I used any time particularly successfully this week? Can I build on this next week?

	9. Have I spent time on routines or habits I would like to break?

	10. Have I given myself a reward for time well spent?

	11. Have I set myself some deadlines and met them?

	12. Have I wasted other people’s time? If so, how?

	13. Have I found time to relax?

	14. Have I asked frequently; ‘What’s the best use of my time right now?’
