Excessive demands in the job are often based on a lack of available time to perform the workload, what could be cured by better usage of available time? Finding a way to gather short time chunks for yourself may help wonders at coping with stress. Enough time to sit back and have an overview over the current situation and what to do next can break this circle. Frequently, it even seems impossible to steal some time – but that´s not true. People “sometimes” have to go to the bathroom. Why not with pencil and paper to sketch a little plan for the very next steps at a place, where hopefully nobody will be disturbed (that’s not a matter of course in far east)? That’s not a new stress management in the workplace or “management by lavatory” and cannot solve severe stress or even stress caused health problems. Taking such a time not only helps you, but the whole situation. It can´t be the wish of a boss or entrepreneur to have confused workers unable to perform their tasks well.If yes you have to find strategies to fight bossing. Ironically time management itself can serve as stressor if your power of control over utilization of time is not properly tuned.

Taking even a short span of time to over think the own situation and start to define the very next micro step is a small beginning of turning back to less stress. Such steps could be to talk to a good friend, your physician, a priest or other people you trust. I met many clients, who missed that first chance and got their time in the intensive care unit.
