Interrelation between motivation, time management
and stress

• Motivation, stress, time and change management
  are three significant components of human
  existence. Every sector of life is influenced by
  these three factors. When you engage yourself in
  a task, you first have to estimate how much time
  you should dedicate to it. If you dont achieve
  the desired target, you will end up with a
  stressed situation. Under mental pressure, you
  will want someone or something to inspire you so
  that you can complete or re-do the unfinished
  task.

10 Effective Tips for Motivation

• Keep Imagining 
• Imagination can turn into reality. You never
  know. So keep thinking about an individual
  situation with love, joy and happiness over and
  again. You have to gain faith in this situation.
  Dont let contradictory thoughts enter your mind.

5

• Incentivize Yourself
• Treat yourself with favorite book, food or
  clothes. Schedule something nice after taking
  classes or work. Meet your friends, do a little
  workout or watch your favorite or a recent movie.
  Remind yourself that these are better than the
  guilt of calling in sick or the awkward excuses
  that need to be made.

6

• Harness The Speed
• You know we cant run full speed every day. Some
  days you require the autopilot. So at times, just
  lieback and listen attentively and reflectively
  to what your classmates and colleagues have to
  say. Running in at a slower pace sometimes can
  provide you with a better perspective.

7

• Get An Attitude
• Are you a great writer? Artistic? Or a tech whiz?
  Maybe good at interacting with people? Many
  people have special talent in one particular
  area, so they enjoy doing work related to that
  area. Involve yourself in what you love. Just
  pick one area and be serious about. This mantra
  will definitely refresh you.

8

• Turn On The Competition
• Many people suffer from inferiority complex that
  they are at a disadvantage than other students.
  But you can turn things around by getting a
  competitive attitude. Think of every project as a
  challenge and set out to do your assignment
  better than anybody else.

• Focus on high-impact activities

  competitive attitude. Think of every project as a
  challenge and set out to do your assignment
  better than anybody else.

• Find a Social Network
• Get help from the people around you. The mentors
  can be teachers or family friends who give you
  guidance and help you develop skills. You can
  also reach out to friends and peers who can
  motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

11

• Dont give up
• Never lose hope, no matter how bleak things look.
  Hope is the only thing that can pull you out of
  the miserable situation. It is a ladder to reach
  your dreams and expectations. Positive thinking
  is the way to get positive results. It also makes
  you aware of the opportunities ahead of you.

12

• Develop inner-strength
• Self-discipline can be a powerful engine of your
  boat when you are letting the waves and currents
  take you wherever they please. You will be
  capable of navigating your boat wherever you want.

  visualizations and affirmations, you will get
  where you want. Only strong belief and
  determination can help you to make necessary
  changes in your life.

10 Top Tips to Avoid
15
Eat healthy and think healthy

• Consuming improper diet can also be the cause of
  stress levels. Using sugary and fatty snacks will
  not keep you healthy. There is healthy food that
  is known to reduce the symptoms of stress.

• Chocolate
• Garlic

• Avocados
• Berries
• Cashews

16

• Start laughing
• Why? Because laughter releases endorphins (a
  group of hormones secreted within the brain and
  nervous system and having a number of
  physiological functions) that improve the mood.
  It also decreases the level of stress-causing
  hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. So you
  know what to do.

17

• Stress manager tea
• According to a study published in American
  Journal of Clinical Nutrition, tea has positive
  effects on elderly people with depression. The
  reason is green tea has less than half the
  caffeine of coffee and contains healthy
  antioxidants as well as theanine (an amino acid
  that has a calming and soothing effect on the
  nervous system).

18

• Try meditation
• From the ancient ages, meditation is suggested to
  provide immediate relief. From yoga and tai chi
  to meditation and pilates, these systems of
  mindfulness engage you in physical and mental
  exercises that prevent stress from becoming a
  problem in the first place.

19

• Sleep well
• Everybody is aware of the facts that stress can
  take place due to insufficient sleep. So it is
  advisable that you get seven to eight hours
  sleep. Getting satisfactory sleep must be the
  most effective stress buster on your list.

20

• Take a deep breath
• It probably sounds like cliché, but it can be
  more convincing than you think. Buddhist monks
  practice deliberate breathing during meditation.
  What you can do is sit up on your chair with your
  feet flat on the floor and hands on top of your
  knees. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply,
  concentrating on lungs as they expand fully in
  your chest.

21

• Express feelings
• There are people who feel incapable of sharing
  their feelings with other. But remember
  expressing feelings help you to shed your worries
  in some way or the other. So if you are incapable
  of communicating your feelings, you should join a
  support network or write a journal, poem.

22

• Accepting things
• You need to accept that changing a difficult
  situation isnt always possible. There is no
  point in fighting a situation where you dont
  have any control rather you need to focus on the
  things you have control. This will definitely
  save you from anxiety and awful situations.

23

• Take one step at time
• Switching from one task to another can cause
  wastage of time and decrease in productivity.
  Make a list and prioritize the things you need to
  get done. Start an assignment only after you have
  completed an earlier one.

10 Fruitful Tips On Time
25

• Question yourself
• When your friends ask you to join them, you talk
  about not having enough time and crib. Rather
  than complaining to yourself, think about what
  you will do if you have enough time. Ask
  yourself, What am I exactly doing now?

26

• Create a daily plan
• Maintain a planner where you write the plans for
  the day. Do it in the morning or even better, the
  night before you sleep. This will give you a good
  overview of how the day will pan out. This way,
  you wont get caught off guard.

27

• Dont think of the totality of your do-list
• One of the effective ways to overwhelm yourself
  is to think about massive work to-do list. You
  need to understand no amount of thought will make
  it shorter. But instead of that you can focus on
  one task before you take up another one.

28

• Focus and prioritize
• Since you cannot do everything at time you need
  to stop multi-tasking. So close off all tabs that
  you are not using. Prioritize your work and focus
  on the most significant one.

29

• Practice the 4Ds
• Donaldson-Feilder suggested practicing the 4Ds of
  decision-making which are
• Delete Half of the emails you get can probably
  be removed immediately
• Do If the email is important, revert it quickly
• Delegate If the email can be best dealt with by
  someone else, convey it
• Defer  Set aside time for emails that require
  longer actions

30

• Learn to say no
• Keep yourself from making a lot of time
  commitments. At some point, you need to learn to
  decline opportunities. Your objectives should be
  based on those commitments that you know you can
  accomplish and you truly care about.

31

• Do related tasks
• Lets say you have to do two PowerPoint
  presentations and two assignments on finance.
  Approaching the task in whatever way you feel
  like is absolutely no-no for you. It is advisable
  that you group the liked tasks and do them
  consecutively.

32

• Auditing
• At the weekends, invest some time in auditing and
  look at exactly where your time is getting
  exhausted. Try to notice where you spend your
  time on regular weekdays. Come up with some
  innovative ideas on how you can use time at its
  best.

33

• Be open to opportunities, know yourself better
  and embrace your passions. Only this way, your
  work will be more enjoyable and you will achieve
  goals within the shortest possible time limit.
