Personal work management 9 8 Advise your line manager if there are essential tasks you will not have time to complete. 9 Check: if you look through the list of activities you have written down ­ does it represent what your job is meant to be? Will you achieve your objectives if you continue to do tasks like this? 10 Check your diary: is there enough time to do this? Set aside time in your diary to complete your task list. This is helpful if there are important tasks that never get done because of interruptions or urgent things that get in the way. Put an appointment for yourself in your diary to do important work.
