Managing Stress at Work What causes distress is primarily the unrealistic demand on the self, often it is not caused by the amount of work achieved but the little time left to do the work that is still to be done. When stress are at manageable levels, it tends to work for us by giving us a sense of immediacy that spurs us to work, even makes us excited about ourselves and our tasks. When attending seminars, the attendee has very little control on the choice of the speaker especially if the time management course is sponsored, not so with time management books. There is a wide array of these books online and in your bookstore. As with any other bookstore, you can scan the contents and have a peep at the book with previews and can make a selection depending on what suits your personal preferences. Increase satisfaction People who have effective management skills are recognized for the good contributors that they are and are richly rewarded because management is always on the lookout for people who have proven discipline paths that can be replicated. Reduces stress Often it is not the amount of work done but the amount of work that is yet to be done that causes stress. Professionals have these common responses that makes them effective at time management: - Their workspaces are free from clutter. Except for the laptop and papers that is being worked on the general atmosphere in their offices is organization. The organized clutter that we usually hear about are known for what it is. Presently more than 25% of all the volume that is traded is done programmatically. By 2008 volumes that are being done programmatically will increase to 40%. Real time data management can be traced for sometime back although today the need for it makes it more common place. To adopt to the future of real time data management computing requirements, database architects are aiming to design systems that could handle data changes at 50,000 times per second supported by 10 terabyte databases operating on near zero latency. We do not manage time, we manage ourselves according to the time available to us. If we have to come to grasp and make the most out of our time we have to think of it as an idea. It is a myth that binds all our reference points and it is the most and only valuable resource that is available to all. No one has really conquered time all of the time but the few that made the most out of it are richly rewarded When we say time management however, what it generally refers to is its better use so that productivity and efficiency are increased because today, to continuously be competitive whether in business or in personal affairs, time management is crucial.
