Time Management ..coping with the ever increasing demands of life Sunita Reddy Thadasina
Ice Breaker The one time I felt most stressed because I did not have enough time was _______
I feel like I’m being torn apart. My family is important to me; so is my work. I live with constant conflict, trying to juggle the demands of both. Is it possible to be really successful—and happy---at work and at home?
I don’t feel in control of my life. I try to figure out what’s important and set goals to do it, but other people—my boss, my work associates, my spouse—continually throw wrenches into the works. What I set out to do is blocked by what other people want me to do for them. What’s important to me is getting swept away in the current of what’s important to everybody else
Most of the time, I just don’t enjoy life. For every one thing I do, I can think of ten things I don’t do, and it makes me feel guilty. The constant stress of trying to decide what I should do in the middle of all I could do creates a constant tension. How can I know what’s most important? How can I do it?
FOUR GENERATIONS OF THE TIME MANAGEMENT • The first generation could be characterized by notes and checklists. • The second generation could be characterized by calendars and appointment books. • The third generation reflects the current time management field. It adds to those idea of prioritization of clarifying values. • Fourth generation recognize that time management is really a misnomer. The challenge is not to manage time but to manage ourselves.

STEP 5 Exercise integrity in the moment of choice Doing the right thing under difficult circumstance
Suppose a student opens up and begins to share deeply just a few minutes before your scheduled an important class/seminar What do you do?
How do you respond in such situations? What choices do you make? How do you feel about your choices? How do you feel about making them? How do feel by the end of the day? Are you frustrated, inadequate because you can’t do it all, exhausted? Or Do you feel calm, peaceful, and deeply satisfied that you did, in fact, put first things first?
Moment of ChoiceA moment of choice is moment of truth Urgency The social mirror Our own expectations The expectations of others Our deep values (long run) Our operational values(short run) Our self-awareness Our conscience Our fundamental needs Our wants
How we can Implement that Choice “Between Stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom”
Step 6Evaluate What goals did I achieve? What challenges did I encounter? What decisions did I make? In making decision, did I keep first things first?
