The people who get the most done are almost always "time haunted." What does this mean? Wouldn't people who accomplish their goals consistently be considered "time efficient?" The following quiz will give you an idea of how much "time sensitivity" you have. Answer yes or no to the questions below. The more times you say "no," the more likely it's time to take a look at improving your time management skills.

1. Do you know how much one hour of your time is worth?

2. Is your day's schedule of activities firmly in your mind when you arrive at work?

3. Do you have a fairly accurate idea of what you ought to get done this week? This month? This quarter?

4. Have you delegated as much work as possible?

5. Do you weigh the time requirements of various tasks before assigning them to others or undertaking them yourself?

6. Do you wade right into the high-priority, tough, and unpleasant jobs rather than devoting too much time to the things you like to do?

Editor's note: The above excerpt is from the online course "Nursing CE Series: Time Management & Delegation for Nurse Managers." For more information on this and other courses, visit www.hcprofessor.com.
