I scored twenty-three in Receptivity to feedback, and thirty-one in Willingness to self-disclose. These scores left me with a large “open” and “blind” area. After reading the information provided and understanding this analysis I have realized things that have been rather “blind” to me. When looking at my personal Johari Analysis I think what and who molded these areas that I am today, In the assessments of myself, my results revealed that I manage my time well. I scored an eight out of twelve score. The hire the score, the closer my behavior matched the recommended time management guidelines. The area of the Johari window that this matches is the “arena”, or the open area. It is known by my managers that I can manage my time well by completing the most important task first during the morning in which is my most productive time. All other task are delegated to others that can complete the task effectively in timely manner. I have taught myself how to complete all task efficiently and effectively instead of responding to task as they occur by creating a “to do” list.

2. Make lists. Lists are a time-management pro’s best friend. If you have several tasks to complete in a short amount of time, make a list with the most important task on top and work your way down. It will feel good when you get to physically cross off the tasks as you finish them, too. If you have several problems or troubles on your mind, and tend to worry a lot in
One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to make a “to do” list. Whether I need a daily, weekly or monthly list depends on what my needs are. I was very careful not to allow the list-making to get out of control and do not keep multiple lists at the same time, instead, I ranked the items on my “to do” list in order of priority (both important and urgent). Sometimes, I may choose to group items in categories such as high, that are both urgent and important must be done, Covey et.al. suggests that I spend less time on activities that are not important (regardless of their urgency) in order to gain time to focus on activities that are not urgent but
The Time Management Assessment questionnaire opened my eyes to my lack of time management skills.

Lastly, individuals can improve their time managing by scrutinizing their attitudes towards time and doing away with time-wasting conducts, such as unnecessary TV time or daydreaming activities (Arnold, 2004)

First, I learned how to plan for my class by scheduling a complete plan, and that will assist to relive my stress and avoid forgetting some assignments and homework.
