Tell me about a time when you had to juggle several assignments at once. What did you do?

Question

I balanced the assignments out by such that I had equal time for each one of those assignments to get completed.

OR

I gave myself a time limit for each assignment, and within that limit I managed to finish all those assignments.

Which answer is better, do any of these sentences need to be fixed?

Answer 1

Or could I mention anything about knowing beforehand?

Answer 2

The second sentence is much better.

The first is awkward and wordy.

Answer 3

Thanks, does the second sentence need any fixing at all?

Answer 4

Nope. It's great just the way you wrote it.
