Productivity...

Getting Organized

Organizational skills are vital for prioritizing and managing time effectively. Sometimes emergencies occur and one must demonstrate flexibility and adapt to change. Are you an effective manager of time? Do you procrastinate and fail to meet deadlines? If you are not well-organized, what is your plan of action for making changes. Write about at least one change that you plan to make if you are not organized. If you are organized, discuss what you do to make sure your tasks are managed effectively.
