Question: How do you usually make plans for your day?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: I usually make plans for my day by creating a to-do list, prioritizing tasks, and estimating the time needed for each task.

Reason: Making plans for the day can help me to stay organized, focused, and productive, and to avoid wasting time or forgetting important tasks. By breaking down larger goals into smaller and more manageable steps, I can also reduce my stress and increase my sense of achievement.

Example: For instance, before starting my workday, I may create a list of tasks that need to be done, such as responding to emails, attending meetings, and completing assignments, and then order them based on their urgency and importance. I may also use tools such as calendars, reminders, or productivity apps to help me track my progress and adjust my plans if needed.

Alternative: Other ways of making plans for the day may include using a journal, a planner, or a whiteboard, or creating a mental map of the day's activities based on one's routines and habits.
