How do you prioritize tasks and manage your time effectively?
Answer
I prioritize tasks by assessing their urgency and importance, and then create a schedule to allocate time accordingly. I also use tools like to-do lists and calendars to stay organized.

Can you provide an example of a successful case you managed and the positive outcomes achieved?
