FACTS The American Medical Association stated that stress was the cause of 80 to 85 percent of all human illness and disease. Every week, 95 million Americans suffer some kind of stress related symptom for which they take medication. American businesses lose an estimated $200-$300 billion dollars per year to stress related productivity loss and other cost.
FACTS The American Institute of Stress in Yonkers, New York, estimates that 90 percent of all visits to doctors are for stress-related disorders. Stress speeds up your entire system and produces conditions in younger people that are more commonly associated with growing old. Studies show that stress can reduce the power of our immune systems by almost 50%.
FACTS Stress increases heart rate and blood pressure. It changes the inner lining of our blood vessels, making our blood more likely to clot. Stress may change the way cholesterol is handled by our blood vessels and, in doing so, may increase plaque formation.
Warnings Central Nervous System Anxiety, depression, and fatigue Cardiovascular System Impaired heart function; can cause angina Constriction of the peripheral blood vessels Raised blood pressure Digestive System Stomach upsets, even ulcers Diarrhea Gastritis Peptic ulcers Irritable Bowel Syndrome Colitis Canker sores in the mouth
Warnings Musculoskeletal System Tension in skeletal muscles and joints Backache and muscular aches and pains Predisposition to arthritis Degenerative diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis Immune System Weakened defenses, with lowered resistance to infections Viral illnesses (often due to a depleted immune defense system) Allergies Malignant cell changes; cancer Endocrine System Menstrual disorders Thyroid disorders (underactive, overactive, thyroiditis) Adrenal hypofunction
Warnings Reproductive System Infertility Premature ejaculation Impotence Skin Eczema Psoriasis Rashes Respiratory System Asthma General Tissue degeneration Acceleration of aging process
FACTS Most people live with a medium to high stress level. Most people believe that this level is the baseline for normal stress levels. American workers have continued to increase work hours, loads and days. With this increase comes an increase in dis-stress levels. Well-being may be put at risk when harmful stress is allowed to continue.

EXERCISE: Like an apple pie, divide this pie into the pieces of your life. Each piece should represent a priority in your life which you have chosen to pour energy. This activity can be viewed from a weekly, monthly or yearly basis.
Energy is the basic currency for accomplishment and not time. In the absence of energy we will not achieve anything irrespective of the time deployed. We all know it but we take energy for granted and continue running after time. Article Source: http://ezinearticles.com/502043

If we are struggling then we need to check out our ENERGY FLOW rather than time. Our accomplishments primarily depend on our energy efficiency rather than time efficiency. Potharaju Ravindra
Both energy and time have their own roles to play in our lives. Our issue is with the unfair treatment we all give to our personal energy as compared to time. Energy is the basic currency for all accomplishment. Examples: A 10 K race Cleaning house Conducting employee evaluations

Time Where does it go?
60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 168 hours in a week. Time cannot be saved or stored. It is not how much we have, but rather the way we use it. The bottom line is how well we use it.
Copyright Copyright 2014 Auburn 2014 Auburn Montgomery, Montgomery, University University Outreach, Outreach, All Rights All Reserved Rights Reserved THE HEART OF TIME MANAGEMENT IS MANAGEMENT OF YOURSELF. Time management is more than just managing our time; it is managing ourselves in relation to time. It is setting priorities and taking charge of your situation and time utilization. It means changing those habits or activities that cause us to waste time. It is being willing to experiment with different methods and ideas to enable you to find the best way to make maximum use of time.

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering. St. Augustine
