Sample Answer:

Meeting deadlines is one of the expectations from me. In order to do so, I always keep track of my deliverables on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Asana is really helpful as a tool. Like last month, I was able to submit before the deadline because I’ve gathered all the information I needed to complete my reports.
