360 Feedback Comment Examples: Time Management and Prioritisation

8 positive and 8 constructive comments you can adapt, plus a simple formula for writing your own.

Time management feedback is personal, so keep it about observable work patterns: deadlines, priorities and how time is spent with others. Avoid guessing at reasons.

Positive comment examples

  • You always know what your top three priorities are, and you can explain them when someone asks for something new.
  • You protect focus time for deep work and still respond to urgent requests within the day.
  • Your meetings start and end on time and always have an agenda, which respects everyone's calendars.
  • You plan big projects in clear stages, so we see steady progress instead of a last-minute rush.
  • When priorities change, you quickly reorganise your work and tell people what will move.
  • You batch small requests efficiently and clear them without letting them pile up.
  • You hit deadlines consistently, even during the busy end-of-year period.
  • You decline meetings where you are not needed, which gives you time for the work that matters.

Constructive comment examples

  • Many tasks get started at once and finished late. Finishing one before starting the next would help.
  • You say yes to most meeting invites, which leaves little time for your own work. Declining some would protect your focus.
  • Deadlines are often met through late nights at the end. Planning work in smaller steps would spread the load.
  • Urgent but less important requests tend to take over your day. Checking them against your priorities first would help.
  • Meetings you run often overrun. An agenda with time per topic would keep them on track.
  • Response times to emails vary a lot, so people are unsure when to follow up. Setting expectations would help.
  • You underestimate how long tasks take, so plans slip. Tracking actual time for a few weeks could improve estimates.
  • Preparation for reviews often happens the morning of. Starting a day earlier would improve the quality.

How to write your own comment

Use the Situation – Behaviour – Impact formula, then add one suggestion:

  1. Situation: when and where it happened ("In Tuesday's client call…").
  2. Behaviour: what the person actually said or did, not what you think of them.
  3. Impact: what it changed for you, the team or the customer.
  4. Suggestion (for constructive comments): one concrete thing to try next time.
