Let’s go through this step by step.
This worksheet is asking you to rate yourself on different time management skills — like how well you focus, finish tasks, respond to requests, etc. You’ll use three options:
✔ Agree
🟡 Somewhat Agree
✘ Disagree
Then, you pick ONE skill you want to improve and write a goal + strategy for it.
---
Step 1: Rate each statement honestly.
Here’s what each line means:
- “I am able to focus and prioritize on what is important” → Do you know what matters most and stick to it?
- “I always finish what I start” → Do you complete projects or leave them half-done?
- “I respond promptly with requests” → When someone asks you to do something, do you reply or act quickly?
- “I start tasks/chores promptly” → Do you begin right away or procrastinate?
- “I don’t waste time and use time to my advantage” → Are you efficient or do you get distracted?
- “I allocate time according to need and meet deadlines” → Do you plan your time so you’re not rushing at the last minute?
- “I can estimate time needed to do typical tasks and chores” → Can you guess how long homework or cleaning will take?
- “I am able to adjust time allocations as necessary—slow down or speed up” → If something takes longer than expected, can you adapt?
You should circle one of the three choices (Agree / Somewhat Agree / Disagree) next to each line based on how true it is for YOU.

Step 2: Pick ONE area to improve.
Look at your ratings. Which ones did you mark “Disagree” or even “Somewhat Agree”? That’s where you can grow!
For example, maybe you marked “Disagree” for “I always finish what I start.” That could be your focus area.

Step 3: Write a specific goal and strategy.
Your goal should say WHAT you want to improve and HOW you’ll do it.
Example:
> Goal: I want to finish all my homework before dinner every school day.
> Strategy: I will set a timer for 30 minutes after school, turn off my phone, and work until the timer goes off. Then I’ll take a 5-minute break and repeat if needed.
Make sure your goal is clear and your strategy is something you can actually do.

Final Answer:
Since this is a self-reflection activity, there’s no single “correct” answer — but here’s an example of how you might fill it out:
Ratings (example):
- Focus and prioritize: 🟡 Somewhat Agree
- Finish what I start:
✘ Disagree ← *choose this one to improve*
- Respond promptly:
✔ Agree
- Start tasks promptly: 🟡 Somewhat Agree
- Don’t waste time:
✘ Disagree
- Allocate time/meet deadlines: 🟡 Somewhat Agree
- Estimate time needed:
✔ Agree
- Adjust time allocations: 🟡 Somewhat Agree
Goal & Strategy Box:
> I want to finish everything I start, especially homework and chores.
> My strategy: I will make a checklist each afternoon. I’ll cross off each task as I finish it. I won’t start anything new until the current task is done. I’ll ask my parent to check my list at dinner time.
Remember: Be honest with your ratings, pick one real thing to improve, and make your plan simple and doable.
