I. Read the text and answer and answer to the questions below.
We have all been there: busy with our jobs and taking care of our families, we have to-do lists a mile long. If we are
lucky, when we stumble into bed at night, we might have crossed off a handful of tasks. We have trouble sleeping as
we think about all the things we failed to do. For some reason, in the middle of the night, the size of these tasks is
exaggerated. When we get up the next day, we are sleep-deprived and racked with guilt, ready to begin yet another
day of being behind. This vicious cycle goes on day after day, month after month, year after year. In this age of 24/7
connectivity, if we take a "vacation", we continue to do work, and if we don't, we feel guilty. The fatigue,
disorganization, and sense of loss of control usually lead to reduced productivity and quality of our efforts, both
professional and personal. Stress and anxiety take up valuable time and energy. Anxiety eats brain power. How do we
break this cycle? Learning to manage our time, instead of allowing time to manage us, is the key.
There are many management and organization books and other resources. Unfortunately, many make the reader feel
guilty because it is difficult to feel comfortable with you. The key steps to successful time management are the
following:1. set realistic goals, 2. get organized, 3. delegate, 4. relax and recharge and 5. stop feeling guilty.
The implementation of realistic time management plans can improve productivity and quality of life. Accept the fact
that you are not Superman or Superwoman. Find time to relax, including time to do absolutely nothing. Stop feeling
guilty. The result of having adequate downtime is a brain that works better doing both professional and personal time.
5. How can we improve the productivity and the quality of our life?
