How the High C-Style can Improve Their Time Management

I have thoroughly enjoyed putting these blogposts together that focus on DISC Styles and Time. If you missed any or want to find them again, just click here.

Today, we finish up the series on the ways each DISC Style can improve their Time Management. I believe this is a goal for most of us. We will focus on the High C-Style person today.

As a quick review, the High C-Style is:

• Conscientious
• Likes procedures
• Focuses on tasks and details
• Often doesn’t mind working alone
• Precise
• Systematic
• Often has a slower “motor” – walks slower, thinks and talks slower

So for a C-Style’s approach to Time:

• They have a long-term perspective
• They want to make sure they do things correctly
• They often need to find the balance between doing things “well” and having things “perfect”
• If they aim for perfection, it will take a lot more time and is often unattainable in reality
• They need to realize, and accept, that doing something “very well” is often enough

So, for the C-Style to Improve their use of Time:

• Make sure you know the time frame you have to do a project or report
• Decide first what details are important and how thorough you will be in putting those details together
• Decide what procedure or format best applies to this project or report and stick with it
• Understand the difference between “good” and “perfect”
• Be willing to settle for a job well done, even if it isn’t “perfect”
• Get feedback from others on your process and when it is time to stop

I hope this Review and these Suggestions have given you some practical insights and help, whether you are the High C-Style or live or work with one.
