Content: Poor Time Management Causes Stress
In today's world, many people are overwhelmed by the demands of work, family, and social schedules. Gone are the days of the 40-hour workweek -- some people now work through their evenings, their weekends, and even their vacations. Conversely, other people work irregular hours (either because of shift work or an erratic work schedule), or fewer hours than they would like. Both of these situations can create stress for workers. Even children and teens are not exempt; they too have hectic schedules and the mounting pressure to succeed at extra-curricular activities. Procrastination and Health Problems
Feeling as though you have too much to do and not enough time to do it in can create a significant amount of stress. Procrastinating, or wasting time on activities that aren't a priority, can also result in increased stress, especially when these actions have consequences such as a missed deadline. The stress caused by a lack of time management can also lead to poor performance at work or school. Too much stress can lead to several health problems, creating a vicious circle of being too frazzled to be productive and effective in daily life.
