Your boss will see you are saving her time and see you as a stress-reducer. Your calm demeanor will lower everyone’s stress level.

Anxiety is a natural state that exists any time we are under stress. Giving a presentation normally causes stress. Almost everyone experiences some stress before presentations, even when the speech is as simple as, “tell the group something about yourself.” Or, if you prefer, you can subscribe to my blog posts by e-mail.

Emotional blocks – boredom, daydreaming, stress, guilt, anger and frustration reduce concentration. When you enjoy what you are doing, it reduces stress. When stress is reduced, you work more efficiently. Switching and floundering – lack of concentration and focus on one job. Use priority lists to focus attention.

However, many people run around stressed because they’re saying yes to everybody but themselves. Even if we can use this word with our spouse and children, we still have a hard time saying it to other people. It’s important to learn how and when to say no. I’m not saying that you should be selfish and never help anybody out.

There are six areas in your life that can be improved through effective time management: The physical – being healthy with less stress and fatigue. Time management is about getting results, not about being busy. The intellectual – learning and knowledge growth and management. The career – your calling and work.

Through employee attitude surveys, focus groups and pilot tests, senior management know that employees with lower work-family conflict have less stress and anxiety about “doing it all&# and are better able to focus on their jobs and their customers. It won’t work for jobs with direct customer contact. The employee will give more.

The people leader role can also be stressful. Burnout is a state of physical, mental or emotional exhaustion caused by long-term exposure to stress. As well, it’s always a good idea to budget more time and resources to a project than you think is necessary to lessen the stress of unexpected setbacks. Set boundaries.

Don’t let the stresses of life control you. If you’re not eating properly, or your muscles are tight from too much time in one position, or your stress level is rising, your productivity will decrease. Take a 10 minute nap or a short walk to relieve stress. You need to take control of your life. Take a break.
