... Aim Of Assignment
The purpose of this report is to investigate the topic of Time Management and examine how I spend my time. I will then evaluate my findings against the Classical management theories in order to assess how reality fares against theory. I will examine how I have managed my time during the week that I kept a time log and evaluate how I can improve my time management skills and thereby increase my productivity within the business that I work. ...
During the week I would keep a time log of my activities which I would then be able to reflect on to analyse whether I had achieved my objective and how I had behaved in order to manage my time. ...
Then the next step was to choose the time management techniques that I was going to try to use in order to achieve the objectives.
The time management techniques that I chose to use in order to achieve my objectives where as follows:
At the moment I do not use a ‘to do’ system and tend to keep the list in my head, however, colleagues have told me that making lists enables them to better prioritise their days. ...
My final time management technique was to do the tasks I like least first, I have a terrible habit of procrastinating about tasks that I don’t like and then they hang over me, and are constantly on my mind until completed therefore, I feel that by making them my first task of the day I will be free to then spend time on the things that I do like doing. ... Set a deadline for Senior Management to have reviewed them by. ... Yes, provided it is possible to get the senior management together during the next week. ...
After a week of keeping a time log, I reviewed my objectives and the result of my activities is outlined in Chart 2 :

Completion of the review of the new Contracts of Employment and Company Handbook Read and make notes of amendments needed. Set a deadline for Senior Management to have reviewed them by. ... Yes, provided it is possible to get the senior management together during the next week. ... Although I tried to plan my workload by the use of the time management techniques outlined, it was extremely difficult to keep to any particular plan or structure as my day consists of so many unplanned interruptions which are beyond my control. ... I would agree with the fragmentation but would say that I averaged more than 9 periods of 30 minutes or more but this was due to the use of the time management technique of allowing myself uninterrupted time during which I would not take calls or see people unless it was urgent.
