Project 1: Time Management Self-Assessment
Self-assessment of your Work patterns allows you to explore and evaluate the range of decisions you make each day with regard to time management. Managing time is a very complex process and self-assessment provides some measures of your strengths and weaknesses.
Project 2: DISC Profiling and Time Management
Our hard-wired DISC style does not explain everything about our views on time management. Our beliefs impact how we view time in general and how we view time management. For example, many of us have heard the saying, "time is money". There are others who believe time is about enjoying every moment. Our culture also impacts how we view time. What country and region we live in impacts our attitudes and values about time. There are some places where meetings are scheduled for 10:00 a.m. and expected to start on time. On the other hand, there are other places where meetings have a start time of "roughly 10:00 a.m."
We judge ourselves based on our intention, but we judge others based on their observed behaviors. For example, we scheduled a meeting at 10:00 a.m. with the expectation that it will start on time, and someone shows up late. We may see that as being disrespectful of others, but the person showing up late had to finish up a few things and did not view being late as disrespectful.
Project 3: Self-Assessing Your Work-Life Balance
The purpose of this assessment instrument is to heighten your awareness of the behaviors that are affecting your work-life balance. The quiz will also provide a means to rate your collective behaviors and present a score that can give you insight into your effectiveness in achieving work-life balance.
Here's how to use this assessment questionnaire. For each question, circle the number that best describes your answer. If you don't have an opinion or you feel you do not have sufficient data to draw an opinion, then mark "0" (No comment).
