What is the eighth step in the time-management process?

• A. Brainstorm goals.
• B. Prioritize tasks.
• C. Follow your plan!
• D. Break objectives into tasks.

Answer: (C)

The question is checking understanding of how a time-management process moves from planning to action. After you brainstorm goals, break objectives into concrete tasks, and prioritize what needs to be done, the next essential step is to follow your plan. This is where planning turns into action: you execute the scheduled activities, stay with the sequence, and devote time as you laid out. Following the plan keeps momentum, helps you track progress, and makes it easier to notice when something isn’t working so you can adjust. The earlier steps—defining goals, decomposing them into tasks, and deciding priority—shape a feasible plan, but the real progress comes when you commit to and execute that plan.
