Nearly everyone dreams of a life with less stress and hassle, but many give up. This is a pseudo-realism in the modern myths such as “the one stop for modern life”, or “it can not change it” articulates. Ergo many continue to suffer under the stress phenomenon and the resulting lack of quality of life. The individual and quite relevant discretion is hidden there. Hence there are opportunities with relatively little effort to achieve a noticeable improvement.

One is too much hustle and bustle of a lack of quality of life. This in turn is a core value of shark strategy. Where there is stress action. Where there is need for action as we begin first with the cause of research. The feeling of stress and stress is often because “we do so much, but do not have enough time. But in order to cope, we try more and more activities in a manner to provide too little time window. This will often provide the “silver bullet” time management support. The concept of time management occurs in this case in various game modes, more analogous with timer, notebook, etc. or more digitally, using a special to-do lists and software. There lies the reason the beauty in the eye of the beholder. Time management is a secondary tool to help us in any way out of this dilemma. Before time management methods and tools which can work at all until you have to do some other homework.

The perception of stress comes from three areas:

your attitude,
your goals and desires,
the goals and wishes of others (employers, family, partners, friends, etc.),

These three different areas you can strongly influence. The first two are 100% influenced by you. The suggestibility of the 3rd Range depends on your individual circumstances (occupation, financial situation, etc.) But even in this segment you have in any case, at least partly of design. Stress and stress are no modern law of nature, but to a large extent a consequence of

Decisions which you consciously or unconsciously, have taken some time,
of the decision you have not taken
of the measures you have taken
of actions that you have not taken
your personal priorities,
your fears,
and sometimes your convenience.

To combat stress and hassle you have to make changes in all three areas. That’s not always convenient, but not unrealistic. Equally ahead “does not work, there’s not.” For your quality of life you’re responsible and not some “or other” circumstances “. But devote enough research into the causes we are now practical measures.

Your attitude

To reduce stress and hassle you have to first check your attitude. It starts with them. That stress and lack of time, not a status symbol. A common answer to the question “how are you?” Is often “I am so stressed.” Those who have no time, in the eyes of many a busy contemporary and is considered important. Who has time is not busy and important. This position is not only common but completely wrong in everything. The more stress you have the more real you are driven and controlled by others. That means lots of stress = lack of self-determination, self-determination was once a little characteristic of slaves. It follows the more your perception of stress is, you have to act more energetically, while you can not always make it all right.

Your sense of time and planning your time

Our feeling for the right amount of time is now disturbed by the media. Film and TV delude us a world in motion. In 90 minutes of film can easily accommodate 20 years of history and development. In reality, however, you need to do everything or do you want to accomplish more than you think or others would like it. What this means for you, what can you do? What ever you plan on time for a project activity and to provide for example a shelf or configure a new PC, it always takes longer than expected. Consider the time in your planning and calculating about 30 – 50% on the originally planned time budget.

This also means that you would in a time window, it hineinpackst a week or a month less activity. ” Who wants to have more time needs to do less. Loosen up your schedule where you the number of activities and projects in a time window (eg in a month or year) reduzierst. If you always fill your calendar with all sorts of projects, then you have yourself the stress and bustle generated. Less is more in the fight against stress.

End the “Last Minute” principle.

Stress and stress are often homemade. If you have to do time-bound tasks will begin with the earlier settlement. If you do everything at the last minute, every little hiccups is quickly becoming the elephant. In these cases you have produced yourself the stress and without suffering. With forward thinking and you can easily save 20% stress.

Use-term buffer.

For example, take it on Wednesday and at 19:00 you have a private appointment. Your plan requires that you do right after work out as pesky. Leave your job in such cases so that you do not loose half an hour to go walking alone, to drink a coffee, etc. So you can switch off from your work and set you on your appointment. This principle is applicable to all activities. The principle is activity-buffer / pause – activity.

Turn off distractions at work.

A guiding principle of Zen is “doing what you’re doing.” That means you simply concentrate fully on your current activity. Turn off at work, surf from the radio, not on the Internet, even the TV has broadcast a break. Also, your e-mails are then not important. Concentrate your mind and your energy at a time on only one thing. Thus you will more productive and stress perception arises only when a general in a weaker form.

Plane one time each day to do nothing.

During this time, you do not work, you must prioritize anything, you simply relax and unwind you. Time is not only work and money, time is life. You need not always be productive. This inaction was formerly called leisure. You’re sitting there doing nothing, shelter and hang yourself from your mind to. Over here you spiritually from your To Do – to distance list and your job.

Time management is only useful if you are aware of these elements. When it comes to the hustle and bustle, there are no silver bullets, but just common sense, methodical approach and a degree of patience and self discipline. All kinds of principles of combat stress have been more than 2000 years. Most people know it, but few to its application.
