"time management" misleading. Time is free, but that does not mean it doesn't need to be managed.

, Rebecca spent three hours on a project yesterday, but is worried because she only finished one section.
Which time-management principle does she need to learn? - correct answer ✔✔Focus on goals, not on
tasks. Rebecca needs to learn to focus on goals instead of tasks. Although she spent quite a bit of time
on her project, she shouldn't be discouraged. Her focus should be on overall project completion versus
how much time it took to complete the first section. Working on a project is not biting off more than you
can chew; it's a normal part of having a job. Being flexible probably wouldn't have any impact on how
much Rebecca accomplished while working on her project. Rebecca could have worked on it during her
"down time," but her main problem is that she wasn't focused on the main goal of completing it.
Brandon is a morning person, but he's trying to stay up late and finish some work for tomorrow, and he's
not getting very far. Which time-management principle does he need to learn? - correct answer
✔✔Know when and how you work best. Brandon needs to learn when and how he works best. He's a
morning person, so staying up late finishing his work isn't a good idea for him. He would be better off
getting up a little earlier in the morning to finish it. His situation doesn't have anything to do with being
on time or not biting off more than he can chew. He may not have had as much to finish if he had broken
up the project into smaller parts, but his main problem is that he is working at the wrong time of day.

correct answer ✔✔Be flexible. Natalia needs to learn how to be flexible. It's more important that she
work on what her boss needs her to work on. Everyone encounters these unexpected changes in his/her
schedule. Natalia's problem doesn't have anything to do with knowing when and how she works best,
planning meetings wisely, or getting enough sleep.
Billie's team was 20 minutes late starting the meeting because she didn't show up at work on time.
Which time-management principle does she need to learn? - correct answer ✔✔Learn to be on time.
Billie needs to learn to be on time and to respect others' time as well as her own. She shouldn't make
the entire team wait on her because she's late. Her problem doesn't have anything to do with knowing
when and how she works best, making the most of her "down time," or focusing on goals instead of
tasks.
Beau is really stressed out because he agreed to take on three new clients that he really didn't have
room for. Which time-management principle does he need to learn? - correct answer ✔✔Don't bite off
more than you can chew. Beau needs to learn not to bite off more than he can chew. Taking on more
clients than he can handle means he really won't give his best effort to any of them. Beau's problem isn't
related to focusing on goals, getting enough sleep, or dividing a large project into smaller parts.
