Here are some tips to get you started on managing your time effectively and stopping stress before it starts.
Start with a plan.
Start each day with a plan of accomplishment – what you intend to have done by the end of the day.
Prioritise.
Pick out the most important things on your list of tasks for the day – and put them at the top of the list. That way if you do run short of time over the course of the day, you’ll have finished the most important tasks first.
Learn to distinguish between important and urgent.
Important tasks carry you toward your goal. Urgent tasks sap your energy and take your focus from where it needs to be. As long as you let urgent tasks define your day, you’re operating from a reactionary standpoint – RE-acting rather than acting. The only way to take control of your time is to stop reacting and start acting according to a pre-defined plan.

Life and work pressures can feel overwhelming at times. And when that happens it’s good to take a breather and remind yourself what’s important. Here are a few pearls of wisdom offered by Alan Weiss in his newsletter Balancing Act (www.summitconsulting.com/ newsletter.html)
"Try to remember that what you are shooting for is success—not perfection. That should give some relief—you don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to make excuses for being human."

If you have a deadline, but you can’t seem to get started on your project, you might need to step back and see what is paralyzing you. Start by assessing why you are unable to act. Ask yourself the following questions:
• What am I afraid of? Am I afraid of learning new material? Venturing into unfamiliar territory? Trying and failing? Looking foolish in front of my peers?
• What is the worst that can happen if you fail? Could you lose your job? Could you be demoted? It’s most likely that you are afraid of appearing foolish, or you are merely afraid of the idea of failing.
Most people have these same fears, and once you realise that you are not alone in your fears, you may be able to move on unimpeded.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a hot topic in today's workplace. But knowing what EQ is and knowing how to use it are entirely different things. Emotional intelligence is composed of four flexible skills, based on a connection between what you see and what you do with yourself and others.
