Are you good at managing your time?   I would say that I've developed decent time management skills over the years, but it's definitely an ongoing process. Like most people, I sometimes do find myself facing time constraints and struggling to prioritise tasks effectively. However, I make a conscious effort to plan ahead to ensure that I stay on track and meet deadlines.   2. Do people in your country think that being on time is important?   Yes, it's generally considered important in my country. Punctuality is valued and seen as a sign of respect. Whether it's attending social gatherings, or even everyday appointments, people here tend to place emphasis on arriving on time.   3. How can people manage their time, especially when dealing with multiple tasks or responsibilities?   I think that prioritising your goals and focusing on the most crucial activities first is important. Also, I find that creating a schedule or a to-do list helps me to break down my activities into smaller manageable tasks.   4. How can poor time management skills affect someone's personal and professional life?   Well, in personal life this can lead to increased stress levels, and strained relationships, because poor time management can leave you feeling constantly overwhelmed.  Rushing to complete tasks can affect people's mental well-being and overall quality of life. Professionally, poor time management can reduce productivity, and hinder career growth. When deadlines are consistently missed or work is incomplete, it reflects poorly on one's professionalism and reliability.   5. Do you think time management is a skill that can be learned and improved? Why or why not?   It's definitely a skill that can be learned and improved with practice, self-awareness, and by adopting effective strategies. By consciously implementing time management techniques, people can gradually develop better control over their time and master a skill that will serve them for life.   6. Can technology help with time management? In what way?   Yes, I do believe that technology can play a significant role in assisting with time management. In today's digital age, there are numerous tools and apps available that can help us stay organised, track our tasks, and optimise our time.
