Time management
2. When do you find it hard to allocate time?
答案:
I often find it hard to allocate time during busy periods, like exam weeks or when I have multiple deadlines approaching. During these times, I feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tasks. Additionally, unexpected interruptions, like phone calls or social plans, can make it difficult to stick to my schedule. That’s when I really have to focus!
