This time management survey template asks employees about priorities, interruptions, and adjusting plans when work changes. Use the feedback to identify a practical improvement in how work is organized.

A crowded calendar does not explain whether priorities are clear or whether people can protect time for them. This SurveyLegend questionnaire looks at both individual planning and the working conditions around it.

When to use this survey

Use it before a team conversation about workload coordination or after a change to meeting practices. State that the goal is to improve work arrangements, not rank employees. An email survey gives people time to reflect before that conversation; explain how the results will be discussed.

Think about your work during the past two weeks. All questions are optional. Describe work arrangements without naming colleagues, clients or confidential projects.

Customize your time management survey

Use a consistent reference period and explain how individual comments will be protected in reporting. Adapt “plan” to the actual job; a shift worker and a project worker may have different control over their schedule. Do not assume that fewer interruptions or more flexibility is possible in every role. Avoid collecting minute-by-minute activity records in this feedback survey.

Printable time management survey template

Offer the blank form to staff who do not regularly use a work email account. Provide time and a private return route during an appropriate part of the workday. Keep it separate from timekeeping and attendance records.

How to use the answers

Read planning habits alongside control over priorities and interruptions. Group open-ended data into coordination changes, information delays and workload issues supported by the answers. Choose one change to try, then ask whether it helped. Do not label someone a poor time manager or assume a personal habit caused a workload problem.

Aeon, Faber and Panaccio’s 2021 meta-analysis describes time management in terms of “structuring, protecting, and adapting time”. The time management research informs the separate questions about planning, uninterrupted work and flexibility. The review combined 158 studies with varied settings and measures. This original survey is a discussion tool, not one of those measures or proof that a particular change will improve performance.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a time-tracking form?

No. It asks about planning and working conditions. It does not record hours for payroll, billing or attendance.

Can managers compare individual employees?

This template is designed for improving work arrangements. Differences in roles, schedule control and demands make a simple personal ranking misleading.

How should the results lead to action?

Choose a change the team can influence, such as clarifying the priority-setting process. Review whether the change helped after enough time to experience it.
