undefined  Time management答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

For the most part I’d say I’m quite a punctual person but of course there are times when I’m unavoidably delayed for something, maybe just because of getting stuck in traffic or a flight being delayed. On the whole though I’m usually on time for any appointments I make.

Sure I do. I use my phone apps to organize my schedule for the upcoming week. You know, I like to set reminders for important events or mark them on my calendar. I also set alarms in case I forget something.

I find planning every half hour increment is essential to maximize my productivity during the workdays. Although I’m very spontaneous on the weekend and I try to relax a little bit and not think about time unless I really have to.

I think younger people are more digitally connected and tech-savvy so they are more likely to use some kind of time management app on their phones, you know with things like deadline reminders and alerts and those special kinds of things. I think older people are less likely to use these just because they might be technophobes or just unaware that these things exist.

Well as I said, it doesn’t happen very often but on the rare occasions that I am late I will always let people know in advance why I’m running late and when I expect to be there – so it doesn’t really bother me that much.

To be honest I don’t really use a diary or one of those calendar organiser apps on my phone (which lots of people use today). I’m pretty good at keeping track of the things I need to do and allocating my time according to what I need to do.

Honestly, I feel like planning is very important, it’s part of my everyday life. I think the last plan I made was this morning when I was preparing my meal plans for the week. I also made plans to meet with my mum after this interview.

Unexpected events are never easy. Last minute meetings at work consume so much of my day, I have little time for anything else, which makes time management a lot more challenging than anything else.

Well, I mean, I might help them a little bit in the very first place to make sure that their plans are reasonable. But as soon as I’m certain that they are qualified to manage their own schedule, I’ll just leave it to them.

In general, I feel like I keep everything under control. Actually, I would say it is a constant struggle to manage time with so many demands competing for attention at the same time. But I think I do a fairly good job, though I get a little stressed from time to time.
