Directions. Q. 11 – 18 : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

The principle of a time log or audit is to divide each day for the next week or two into fifteen-minute
intervals. At the end of each hour, you record how the previous hour was spent. You can use an ordinary large desk
diary – one page to a day – for the purpose. Find a format that you are comfortable with. You may prepare a list of
prominent activities relevant to your trade or profession. For example, a teacher might include such headings as
lecture preparation, marking, teaching, games and extra-curricular activities for his class.
It take self-discipline to get started and keep going, but once you are into the saving of it for less time, is
taken up by exercise than you might imagine. It should occupy in all no more than five minutes a day. Even as you
do it you may mind that your fifteen minutes were not productive as you thought them to be. You may, for instance,
have to walk to a coffee machine and queue for your turn.
Look back at the end of each week. You may be surprised at what a comparatively small percentage of
your time is actually going on the top-priority tasks on your list. Time for planning, anticipating contingencies,

thinking about opportunities and recharging your batteries in various ways is often conspicuously missing,
squeezed out by the day-to-day overloading or slippage from other more routine activities. If so, it is a serious
matter. For a manager’s effectiveness is closely related to the use he makes of time, which he needs to control,
rather than the other way round, if he is to avoid constantly managing by crisis. In particular, achieving results
through other people makes it essential that the leader of the working group manages his own time so that he has
time to think ahead to tomorrow’s problems as well as about today’s decisions.
You may find that you had no idea how your time is really being spent. Memory isn’t to be entirely trusted
in this area because we tend to recall the productive hours of the day and to push into the background time wasted
or not used to good effect. It is not unlike the old sundial inscription which reads, “I record only the sunny hours.”
The large pieces or small scraps of time taken up by matters of relatively minor importance are conveniently
forgotten. These are the very items that a careful time audit should show up.
After keeping a log for three or four days, you may begin to notice opportunities for improvement. For
example, you may discover that you are spending much more time than you thought possible on reading
newspapers and trade journals or compiling routine reports. Could the latter be delegated? At the end two weeks,
when the data is available, try to group your time use under key headings such as committees; interviews;
discussions; education; figure work; telephone; dictation; thinking and others. After listing your findings, you can
carry a rigorous review of how you are spending your time.
