By Maintaining a Productive Routine and Limiting Interruptions
Being organized helps the business save time and money. Interviewers value applicants who use time management techniques in their regular workday activities for this reason. You might talk about how you create better work by concentrating on one activity at a time to save time. You might be able to explain how you avoid reading emails and taking calls when working on high-priority assignments if you work more quickly and with fewer interruptions.
Example:
I strictly adhere to an action list approach to plan my day in order to maximize my time. I have a thorough list of all the regular duties, project tasks, and one-time tasks that must be completed. I block off time for productivity on my calendar and make every effort to keep these periods.
I will adjust my production time as necessary if I have to cancel or reschedule meetings or other events. By setting out the time in my calendar, I've found that it's less likely that a dispute will develop suddenly. I always make sure I am aware of the deadline for each task I have been given, and whenever I can, I set my own deadline a day or more in advance. This allows me to manage my workload at all times, shift tasks up the priority list when those changes, or take on new projects as they arise.
