1. Identify and describe three strategies you can use to manage your time.
1. Write a (to do) list.
By writing a daily/weekly/monthly to do list will help organise and remind you of what needs to be done for whom and by when. No one’s memory is perfect and when under stress with competing demands, it is conceivable to forget things. The list will help you set out your time in priority order and organise consecutive activities so you are utilising your abilities to the highest advantage. The main advantage to having a list written in your desk diary is when you are unavailable to be a work due to illness; a colleague can easily view your list for the day and reschedule or answer …show more content…
Arrange set times for jobs.
By programming set time for jobs, such as regular database maintenance/administration, clearing/ answering emails or talking with your team, everyone around you gains routine. This routine provides fewer interruptions during heavy production periods and increases overall productivity.

The team members know that periods of time are dedicated to them and their interests; this makes them feel valued (TAFE Queensland 2013, p18).
3. Managing contingencies.
The best made plans can always go awry due to unforseen circumstances. Managing contingencies or having a back up plan in place for such circumstances can ensure that everyone’s routine doesn’t go off the rails. For example if illness is laying waste to the work team environment, prioritising and identifying critical tasks (from your to do list), delegating to cross trained members of the organisation is a viable option I have used in the past (TAFE Queensland 2013, p18).

If you assume that your current skill level is sufficient and there is no room for improvement, you run the risk of becoming obsolete and therefore replaceable (TAFE Queensland 2013, p37).
4. Explain what action learning sets are and how they allow people to develop new skills.
Action learning sets consist of small groups of people (four to eight) and a facilitator who meet on a regular basis to discuss a problem or a task and as a group construct and reflect on solutions. This educational process has been recognised as an effective adult learning tool in governments, businesses and educational institutions. Action learning sets allow people in similar industries, occupations or circumstances to meet and share ideas and
