Results

0 – 17 points: You do not plan your time and you allow your schedule to be determined by others. You are not able to manage yourself, let alone others. Time management will mark the start of a new and successful life for you.

18 – 24 points: You try to organise your time, but you are not persistent enough to be successful.

25 – 30 points: Your time management is good – but it could be better.

31 – 36 points: Congratulations (if you have been honest in your answers)! You are a model for anyone who would like to learn how best to manage his or her time. Let others benefit from your experience and pass the ABCs of time management on to others.

Do you agree or disagree with the conclusions?
