considerable control over its direction.

Controllable/ Initiation

Ask yourself: How many of my activities do I have control over?
Which activities have to be completed as part of my job? If you are
spending too much time on activities not directly related to your
job, or activities someone else should or could be doing, you may
be wasting your time. How many of your activities did you initiate
yourself? How many were initiated by others? Use the figure below
to help determine control and initiation.

Rate yourself over your control and your initiation over the activity
(0-6).
