Reducing Stress and Increasing Health
Using CRG's Stress Indicator and Health Planner
A Series of Five Sections
Section Four: Time-Stress Assessment
One of the benefits of the Stress
Indicator and Health Planner is that it segments stress into 5
categories that provide you, the participant, with the opportunity to focus on
opportunities for improvement.
As mentioned in Section One (Personal
Distress Assessment), experts have confirmed that up to 90% of illness is related
to stress and lifestyle. That means most illness is preventable. The Stress
Indicator and Health Planner helps you establish a benchmark of your
current stress levels and provides a roadmap for improvement.
Section Four has 15 questions.
Stress affects each of us differently. In the end, stress—regardless of the source—will show up in the three areas we are measuring in this ezine.
The following information is from CRG’s Stress Indicator and Health Planner by Gwen Faulkner, PhD, MSN; Terry Anderson, PhD; and Ken Keis, MBA.
From Section Four: Time-Stress, please complete the following 15 questions on yourself.
- In the boxes provided, print the number that best describes how often you have experienced the symptoms during the past month.
- Be completely honest. There is no benefit in misrepresenting
the truth.

Time/Self Management
Most people feel they do not have enough time
to do everything they want or need to do. Without realizing it, they feel
helpless and out of control with respect to managing their time.
Gaining inner control over
your time and your life will move you in the direction of meaningful goals and
will allow you a greater sense of spontaneity and flexibility. Time management
is really self-management; it is learning how to manage yourself with respect
to time so you replace less important goals and activities with more important
ones. Technically, people cannot and do not manage time; they can manage only the
activities, priorities, and choices that fill their time. The way some people
frame their time and choices distinguishes them from others.
Suggestions for
Improvement
- Establish your core values and make choices based
on those values.
- Let CRG’s Values Preference Indicator assist
you in the process.
- List your long- and short-term goals.
- Prioritize your goals by comparing them to
your core values and your long- and short-term objectives.
- Create your activity list. Include all
important items.
- If an activity will take less than 3 minutes,
do it right now. There is no benefit in putting it on a to-do list.
- Learn to say No to lesser priorities and to
others.
- If something has been on your to-do list
forever, ask yourself if it really should be there. Do it now or take it
off your list.
- Document your activities in writing, starting
with the most important. Often, more time is expended thinking about what
you are going to do than in actually doing it.
- Learn to delegate tasks to others, even if you
have to pay them for their time.
Do related tasks in a “cluster.” For example,
make telephone calls for 30 minutes, schedule 1 hour for your letter-writing
tasks, meet with your clients in the afternoon, and so on. The structuring of
time by task as well as by priority is very effective for most
people.
-
Many
time-management systems are available in the marketplace; each wants to teach
you that its way is the best way.
-
We suggest
that each individual is unique; the way you manage time-related stress and
pressure should be based on what works for you. The ideal solution for you
might be a combination of several different strategies. Again, in the end, your
approach must work for you.
