How not to become a victim of time trouble at work?
Oh, those quarterly reports, the completionprojects, urgent submission of documentation ... all this is dumped in one heap and causes a huge stress, which can hardly be considered useful for the body. Time trouble at work - a synonym for the word "avral": you have to spend 12-14 hours a week at the workplace. Time trouble is similar to a natural disaster, because it usually arises unexpectedly and makes everyone nervous, even the most conscientious employees.
Time zeitnot - a common phenomenon not only for those whoworks in the office and deals with papers and documents. Militiamen, librarians, pharmacists, miners, etc. too often become its victims. The very concept of "time trouble" (zeit - "time", not - "need") came to us from chess tournaments. So the grandmasters call the situation when there is not a minute to think about the move. Doctors who work with chess players are convinced that it is the time deficit that leads to nervous breakdowns in their wards.
Time pressures at work can be caused by a lack of time due to the usual habit of saving everything at the last minute. Also in the modern world of business, time pressure canarise due to the rapid growth of the market and the ever-increasing flow of information, changes in laws, currency rates and tax rates. Therefore, urgent tasks fall like snow on your head, and you need to react immediately, otherwise, as they say, who did not have time, he was late.
Overvoltage, which is caused by time pressure, you can find out, if you began to feel that you are doing something else,What do you want? Every day you feel a lack of time; constantly want to sleep; became more than usual to smoke and drink alcohol; often conflict in the family; constantly feel dissatisfaction with life and yourself; do not feel like it, and you do not know who to talk about your problems with; lend money, not knowing how you will give it.
Although time pressure is a complicated matter, it is a solvable one. First, try to treat it as something self-evident. Do not contact the boss with claims that there is no clause in your contract called "work under extreme conditions." The time trouble was, is and will be is the law of any successful business. Keep calm, try to bring order to the chaos that has already messed up in our time trouble affairs.
No matter how strange it sounds, but The more we hurry, the less time we have. We grab for everything at once, switch from onetasks for another, and as a result we lose precious time. Therefore, in advance - in the evening or in the morning - determine the range of tasks for the day and act according to it. As you resolve issues, note the work done. This will help you better navigate in a stressful situation and not make unnecessary movements.
Protect yourself from unnecessary meetings and phone calls, do not be distracted by extraneous situations, learn to say "no" decisively and withoutany explanation. Every day, put your order on the desktop - all the excess paper, stale newspapers and other trash - throw it away. Distribute the work to all employees of the department, trust them, you can not do everything yourself, although sometimes it seems that it is so reliable.
The authorities, of course, do not like very much when they report problems. But you must notify the administration in writing if you see a clear threat of failure of the deadlines set. And even better - never get down to work if you are not sure that you will do it on the suggested dates. And do not forget that for productive work, your body needs strength, it's a healthy dream (ideally - 7 hours), full nutrition and outdoor walks.
