Many people find themselves too busy these days, which causes stress. The reasons vary from person to person, but the following are some main ones why people find themselves too busy, along with time management and stress management ideas to help.Say Not Many people end up over-scheduling themselves because they feel uncomfortable saying "no" when people ask things of them. Perhaps they don't want to disappoint others or admit they can't "do it all." Ultimately, they disappoint themselves by not having enough time to do what's important to them. Does this apply to you? If so, learning to say no might be a good time management priority. Use it to create space in your schedule for what's important to you.Be Clear on Your Priorities Don't add activities to your schedule for the wrong reasons, and end up spending your days doing things that don't reflect your values and priorities. If you find yourself struggling to fit in what's important, then necessities like adequate sleep and other healthy habits may fall by the wayside. To insure that this doesn't happen to you, make a list of what's most important. List things like family, friends, and career. Then look at how you spend your days. See how much time goes to these things. Is it a good match, or are you spending an inordinate amount of time doing things that aren't as important to you? It's never too late to make changes. Map It Out A common time management trap many people fall into is that they don't know where their time goes, or they overestimate the amount of time they have available and underestimate the amount of time each activity takes to complete, and become over-committed. If this sounds like your days, you may need to keep a careful schedule, writing down everything you do. Don't agree to new activities until you've found a way to pencil them in, overestimating the amount of time you think it will take to complete them.
