2. List five strategies and explain how Sushma could use these to overcome
her time management problems.

Ans) The five strategies Sushma could use these to overcome her time
management problems are:
a) Be intentional: keep a to-do list: Drawing up a to-do list
might not seem like a ground breaking technique, but it’s
one of the most powerful ways to become more productive.
The best to-do lists include a variety of tasks: quick and
urgent jobs that might be completed in 10 minutes and
bigger, operational tasks that are a work in progress.

b) Be prioritized rank your tasks: When ranking your tasks, you

should always prioritize what’s most important to you.
Figure out which tasks and activities are high-value, which
will have the most positive effect on you, your work, and
your team.
c) Be focused: manage distractions: Despite our best
intentions, we all get distracted. From social notifications to
talkative colleagues – and the very human problem of
procrastination – actually sitting down and getting things
done is almost always harder than it should be.

d) Limit multi-tasking: Many of us multi-task and believe

we’re effective when we do so, but evidence suggests
that we can’t effectively focus on more than one thing
at a time.

e) Minimize Interruptions: The more uninterrupted time you

get during the day to work on important tasks, the more
effective you’ll be. Identify the activities that tend to
disrupt your work, and find a solution.
