Time Management Secrets for Working Women

Tick Tock Tears

To many women, time is an adversary. The ticking clock prevents them from accomplishing all they need to do. Society expects working women to perform optimally at work, and to manage their homes. Men, on the other hand, are only required to manage their time at work. Women who feel pressured by time also feel guilty, overwhelmed and anxious. Learning how to manage your time according to your values will help relieve most of this stress.

Track the source of your stress: 80% of it probably results from time management dilemmas. Take time to relieve your stress instead of letting it build into an insurmountable problem.

Mental activities that help relieve stress include letting go of things that cause continual tension, taking time for recreation, trying not to rush and maintaining a positive attitude. When possible, give yourself a little treat like a facial or a movie.
