There are many points in a working day when we are put under the pressure of time. The job must be finished on time. We don’t have enough time. Someone wastes our time. Each one of these pressures generates a feeling: worry; frustration; guilt. And each one of these feelings is a recognised sign of stress. Managing your time to reduce these pressures is an effective way to control stress at work.
Through plenary instruction and discussion, in this training activity, participants learn about the link between time pressures and stress. In groups, they then work on a case study to identify ways in which pressures on time can be reduced. Finally, working on their own, the participants relate these learning points to their own situation.
Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers to enable their participants to investigate the link between time management and stress. The participants develop practical strategies to reduce pressure by making the most of their time.
