I'm sure there are a few out there that aren't, but most jobs for most people are absolutely full to the max in the way of things to do and general responsibilities. How many of us get to say "I wish I had more to do..." in the middle of the afternoon? It's more like "What?!? It's what time already!?" followed by some discreetly done internal freaking out and a trip to the coffee machine.

This inevitably leads to working late hours, which in turn takes time from home, family, and personal obligations. All this causes generalized stress, which we all know contributes to countless health issues. It's why so many of us relate so well to the phrase "not enough hours in the day."
This, obviously, is not a good pattern to be stuck in. But how to break free? It really boils down to one thing: time management. There may, or may not, actually be enough time in the day for you to get to all the things you want to do. Stressing over it, however, isn't going to do anything but harm your productivity and your health -- so you're better off taking an honest look and prioritizing. If you're not going to fit something in better to know ahead of time and make a plan than find out at the last minute and have it keep you up nights. Right? Right.

Easier said than done!

But heck -- it's still worth a shot, so try these 10 tips and see if they don't help you live a more relaxed and successful life at work and at home:

• Recognize your goals
• Prioritize and make plans
• Analyze your time (instead of a food journal, try a time journal)
• Decide how much time you want to invest in what areas
• Make a "To Do" list every day
• Don't over-commit yourself
• Use your time wisely
• Review your accomplishments daily
• Communicate with others
• Refuse to spend time stressing about time
  

It's really about not spending time worrying about not having enough time, prioritizing, and being realistic about what you can and can't do. The busier you are the more organized you're gonna have to be, there's just no way around that!
