Identify task to be accomplished - this is “final product”
i.e. complete English paper
Break this task down into actionable steps – individual, small tasks that need to be done
i.e. Read source material, create outline, write paper, proofread paper
Consider time dimensions – what order do tasks have to be done in, what external time factors exist?
i.e. identify due date for paper, then work backwards for setting time deadlines for individual tasks
Assign priorities to tasks
Note: pay attention to how priorities change as time goes on
Using To-Do Lists Effectively
*
2 minute ruleIf something can be done in 2 minutes or less, just do it, don’t bother scheduling and planning it
Be aware of your “prime time”What time of day do you work best on:Complex tasks?Social tasks?Quiet tasks?Schedule these tasks for those times to increase the efficiency of the time you expend.

Workers evaluate what they get from the relationship
(outcomes) to what they put in (inputs) and compare this ratio
to other’s in a comparison group. Workers who perceive
inequity are motivated to adjust their own or other worker’s
inputs and/or outcomes.

QUESTIONS?
*
I interview a manager named kendy. She has 2 strong positive
aspects.first is she is good at motivation! Second she is good at
managing stress. And she is the manager both in ‘kickin kasian’
restaurant and “boba mike tea”.And that is the interview
information: (and please see the powerpoint about these two
positive aspect.) and each aspect write 2 and half pages. Total 5
pages.
First How to motivating yourself or your employee?
Kendy: everyone have their own emotion, I do too, but I always
motivating myself and my employee, I will try my best to
solving their problem and communicate with them. And I
always to make good workplace, always talk to them should
have positive attitude, and the most important thing is money,
work for money, work for life.
Second Are you having stress while you are working? What
kind of stress do you have right now? Time Stressors,.Encounter
Stressors,Situational Stressors,Anticipatory Stressors.
Answer : Try not to think about stress. Everything about
working makes me feel stress. For example: customer service, a
lot of customers, etc. I will listen to music, watch tv shows and
play with my dog to release my stress.
double-spaced, 12-point Times font, 1 inch margins. Two
strengths of the manager’s skill sets- based on literature (one
academic citation each)
The paper must integrate theory and concepts from the course
17. and apply them to the manager being examined. The paper must
also go beyond the content in the textbook and include at least
four relevant academic citations.
Scholarly and professional journals. References should be
presented using APA style, An original scholarly paper is
typically an article in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, but can
also be a chapter in an edited volume (NOT a textbook). HINT:
publications is that pages in scientific journals are typically
numbered per volume (year), whereas popular print media
number the pages per single issue.
