Have you ever wondered if you’ve made the most of your time during the last year?
Did you spend your days and weeks the way you wanted to spend them?
Were your plans constantly interrupted, or changed, at the last-minute?
To find the answers you seek, you simply have to ask yourself a couple of questions…
In this post, I offer several questions to get you thinking about your daily activities when it comes to time management.
You may find it helpful to have your personal calendar or planner handy as you review the questions.
You’ll get the most out of this exercise if you give yourself adequate time to reflect on the below prompts.
Take your time, and feel free to come back to any questions as necessary.
