Page 5: 2013 – 2014 HCLA: SESSION FIVE  Time Management & Delegation Skills

Prioritizing with ABC/ 123

• A/1 includes “must-do” items that are critical and time sensitive.

• B/2 is “should do” items but without critical deadlines.

• C/3 constitutes “nice to do” or “when I have time” tasks that can usually be saved for slack periods.

Procrastination: Questions You Should Ask

• If so, how will you feel (guilty, regretful, embarrassed, etc.)?

• Will you continue to think about the task even if you don’t do it?

• Do you really work well under pressure? In some ways, do you like it?

• When the crunch time comes, do you behave badly toward others?
