Managing Time<\/i> is an important element in Stress Management<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Feeling pressured by not having enough time adds additional stress to your life.<\/p>\n

\"time<\/a><\/strong>Do you find yourself wishing there were more hours in the day? Our lives are so filled with work, family, and appointments that we often can’t seem to fit in everything we need to accomplish in a 24-hour day.<\/p>\n

But what if we could accomplish more<\/em> in less<\/em> time? If this were actually possible, it would allow us more<\/em> time with those we care about and more<\/em> time to focus on ourselves.<\/p>\n

The good news is: there are simple strategies you can use to make the most of your days!<\/p>\n

These strategies can enable you to get more done in less time:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make a list. <\/strong>Write out everything that you need to accomplish<\/a>, and then joyfully cross off each task as you complete it. <\/em><\/strong>As you see your list dwindling, it’ll provide the needed motivation to get the rest of the list done, too.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • Put your list on the refrigerator, in your daily planner, or on the computer. Keep it somewhere handy so you can look at it often and stay focused.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      1. Prioritize effectively. <\/strong>Determine which tasks are most important and what can possibly wait until later on in the day, week, or month. If this is something you’re having trouble with, you may be trying to squeeze in tasks that can actually be put on hold for a future time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        <\/p>\n

          \n
        • Note the deadlines for your tasks.<\/em><\/strong> If your in-laws are coming to visit, then cleaning the guest bathroom takes priority over re-organizing the basement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Use these strategies over and over to manage your time more effectively … and become excellent with both successful time management AND successful stress management!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
