Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This strategy is called minitasking. It involves accomplishing the long-term goal one step at a time. Striving to complete the entire goal at one time often leads to procrastination because the task seems too large. Eliminating any undesirable elements of the goal requires clarification of the goal and elimination of unnecessary/undesirable elements during formulation. It is more effective to work toward goal attainment in an orderly, sequential fashion than to jump in at any random point.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Efficiency refers to getting things done as quickly as possible. Effectiveness involves setting priorities among the tasks that need to be done and doing them the best way possible. Scheduling refers to putting time aside to complete a task. Procrastination is to delay working on or completing a task.
