Valuable Time-Management Tips
♦ Schedule your personal errands at the beginning or
end of the day. Make lunch dates only within a few blocks of your
office.
♦
Always ask for a day to respond when a request is made of your time,
such as a speaking engagement. Figure out whether it fits into your
work and personal goals.
♦
Stop spending time to save money. Instead, spend money to save time.
Don't drive across town to save a few cents on a grocery item. It's
not worth your time. Hire someone for chores you're not fond of
doing.
♦
Leave voice-mail messages late at night, to convey information or
confirm an appointment. This way you will avoid getting caught in a
long chat.
♦
Pencil in "thinking time" every day. This is time to reflect on ways
to provide greater customer service, get noticed by the boss, get
more customers, or develop a neglected segment of your business.

Why Are Female Executives So Prone
To Stress Disorders?
Anne Devereux-Mills, Chief Strategy
Officer of Lantern, and previously Stanford's Executive Director of
Healthy Body Image Programs, spent 25-years observing women in a
corporate environment. What she noticed was that the very internal
monologue that drives successful women to the top of their fields
also makes them susceptible to stress and anxiety-related disorders.
In fact,
according to a new study by Lantern, women are 11% more stressed and
16% more anxious than their male counterparts, resulting from these
key drivers:
⇒
The desire to be perfect and fear of falling short
⇒
The strong-will required to stand up for their ideas can also lead
to an unforgiving view of themselves
⇒ The belief
that if they are not constantly marking off tasks they will fall
behind
To combat these stress drivers,
Devereux-Mills can discuss three important stress-relief tactics
designed with high-achieving women in mind:
1. Box
it up
To manage conflicting responsibilities,
visualize "boxes" where you can put each obligation when you’re not
actively engaged with it. Avoid thinking about something while
it is in a mental box.
2. Set
values and stick to them
Decide what's important to you and
prioritize your time. Draw firm lines about how much time you
spend in each area of your life and don’t start bending them to
benefit your career.
3.
Create "you" rituals
Experiment with meditative activities
(like working out or taking a bath) and turn the best ones for you
into daily rituals. Give your brain a chance to quiet down as
you begin and end a busy day.
These practices
are the foundation of the approach utilized at Lantern, where team
members perform daily healing exercises as part of a Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy method — a type of therapy that examines
self-destructive thinking patterns.

Common Hassles Can Get You Down
Studies by psychologists show that the ordinary hassles (those
trifling irritations people have to endure), cause psychological
psychosomatic symptoms — depression, anger, low morale,
stomachache, low energy, and fatigue.
What can you do to
overcome hassles? Be prepared to make a few changes and learn to
live with less perfection ... since there isn't enough time, energy,
or money for most of us to have it all. And give yourself strokes.
Live in the moment and enjoy the everyday positive experiences
you have — like completing a task, eating out, getting along
with a friend or colleague, or taking a week-end jaunt to a favorite
destination. All of these experiences will make you feel good, and
can help offset the ill effects of the hassles.
Seven most
prevalent hassles:
→
Concerns about weight
→
Interior home maintenance
→
Too many things to do
→
Misplacing or losing things
→
Yard work or outside home maintenance
→
Property investment or taxes
→ Physical appearance
Editor's note: To enhance your mental and physical health, and
ultimately the fiscal health of your company, why not contact your
trade exchange and schedule a therapeutic weekend getaway?
