...05/06/2016 BSBWOR501 Manage Personal Work Priorities and Professional Development | | Short Answer Questions Question 1 - Build downtime into your schedule. When you plan your week, make it a point to schedule time with your family and friends, and activities that help you recharge. - Get moving. It's hard to make time for exercise when you have a jam-packed schedule, but it may ultimately help you get more done by boosting your energy level and ability to concentrate. - Remember that a little relaxation goes a long way. Don't assume that you need to make big changes to bring more balance to your life. Brooks recommends setting realistic goals, like leaving the office earlier 1 night per week. Question 2 - Organize & Prioritize Create a daily schedule and follow it. Identify the top three or four critical projects that need to be completed. Ensure your task list is manageable, adds value, and benefits your firm. - Stop Multitasking Guilty as charged! In the past I’ve been a master multitasker, or so I thought. I could answer a phone call, respond to an email, and dabble on a project simultaneously. I was satisfied that I could work on several projects at once. In reality, the quality of my work was compromised. Multitasking lowers IQ, lowers EQ (emotional intelligence), slows you down, increases stress levels, and causes mistakes. Master unitasking instead. - Avoid Distractions Did you know that focus is a fundamental quality of productive people...

...how you would go about managing your work priorities and professional development. 1. What makes a good role model and how would I ensure that I acted as a role model for employees I supervise? A good role model to me is someone that inspires me and I aspire to be like. A good role model needs to have a positive, approachable demeanour. I believe a role model provides inspiration and motivation to seek out accomplishments. Role models send messages about their beliefs by what they do and say. To ensure that I acted as a role model to my employees, I would always act with integrity. I would listen to what my staff have to say and always make them feel like their opinions and contributions are worthwhile and important. I would make sure that my actions always demonstrated my beliefs and I would always demonstrate a passion for what I do. I would not make my employees do a task that I wasn’t willing or capable of doing. Acting as a good role model for my staff would incorporate in my professional development. 2. What are the traits of an effective leader? Do I have these traits? How would I develop these traits? I feel the most important traits of an effective leader is someone that works honestly, ethically, with integrity, has the ability to communicate, has a strong commitment, and the ability to inspire.

You cannot manage time; you manage the events in your life in relation to time. You may often wish for more time but you only get 24 hours, 1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds each day. How you use that time depends on skills learned through selfanalysis, planning, evaluation, and self-control. Much like money, time is both valuable and limited: it must be protected, used wisely, and budgeted. People who practice good time management techniques often find that they: • Are more productive, • Have more energy for things they need to accomplish, • Feel less stressed, • Are able to do the things they want, • Get more things done, • Relate more positively to others, and • Feel better about themselves (Dodd and Sundheim, 2005). Finding a time management strategy that works best for you depends on your personality, ability to selfmotivate and level of selfdiscipline. By incorporating some, or all of the ten strategies below, you can more effectively manage your time. 1. Know How You Spend Your Time Analyze where most of your time is devoted— job, family, personal, recreation, etc. Keeping a time log is a helpful way...

...the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility. (Roosevelt 1960). According to me, personal responsibility means holding yourself accountable for your own shortfalls, challenges, and successes, then learning to adapt and overcome all that is necessary to become who or what you would like to be. College students are faced with many challenges as well as having to balance work, school and personal responsibilities. I believe to be successful you need to identify your challenges and plan how to overcome them. I believe the key to being successful in anything is to know the challenges you are up against and planning how to get around these challenges for success. This idea can be applied to any aspect of your life – from planning to buy a house, getting a pet or for me, continuing my college education. The main challenges for me are the time requirements and balancing the stress of school/work/personal time. I believe that for me to achieve my goals I need to manage my time properly. Furthermore, I have to be able to understand how to best deal with the pressure that comes with school. The various deadlines that have to be met will increase my stress levels. If I don’t manage my stress levels I will most likely become overwhelmed and start to fall back in my studies. The decision for me to return to college was not a decision that I came to quickly or easily. Earlier...

...prioritization of tasks in order to maximize personal efficiency in the workplace.” In my own words time management is the ability and skills to set your priorities and plan accordingly to them.
