Time management and negotiation

Time Management
In my case, organising set time to complete tasks would benefit me professionally and allow me to be more productive. I'm currently working between three faculties and sitting down at the end of each day to plan for the next day sounds just too simple. I hope this simple task will be effective.

Negotiation:
There are a few staff members that display effective skills in negotiating at the school I'm employed at. One in particular has  unknowingly been a mentor of mine. We have clashed numerous times about particular issues and on several occasions my stubbornness has resulted in me leaving with a bad taste in my mouth. It isn't until I'm at home reflecting on the day that I realise that if he wasn't effective in his ability to manage conflict things may have ended on a sour note (staying with the oral theme). I believe that I'm a better teacher and person due to these conflicts being so well managed by my cohort. We now enjoy a  beverage and a yarn together on a regular occasions.

Other influential colleagues appear to set goals and time to tasks. From my observation these colleagues are also flexible with goals and time.
