I've been remiss in the Preparation and Judgement aspects of Time Management lately - so Ya - it really has taken a toll on my ability to handle stress! The Health Educators' tips over the past few weeks have brought this reality to the front line! After charting how I'm spending my time recently, I realized how much of a draw this site has on me; I love to read and post here at SSC and Wow! Do I ever put in a lot of hours online. Am proud to have learned to say NOPE and grateful for all the support here! Heading off to organize my life now! Hope to check in as Time permits for the next while!
In the past week, we’ve been talking about stress management. A great preventative strategy for stress is to buff up on your time management skills. Here are a few tips:
° Learn to delegate: You are a busy person, you can’t take care of every detail. Look at the people around you. Who could help share the load? ° Prepare: Take some time at the end of the day to plan your next working day. This will help keep the office at the office and when you go to bed, you won’t toss & turn worrying about your next working day. ° Take your breaks: You are much more effective if you mind & body has small periods of rest in between draining tasks. ° Judge well: Learn to judge the difference between urgent & important tasks. Often times we are interrupted by people or projects which seem urgent but in actual fact could be prioritized to a later time or the next working day.
We now invite our members to share their time management tips & tricks! Do you find it difficult to prioritize?
