The
general notion about the lifestyle of a corporate or a businessman is a relaxed
life full of luxuries. Every employee complains about how easy the life of
their boss is. According to them, all he has to do is sit in their
air-conditioned office, attend few meetings, sign a few papers and leave. But
remember, “With great power, come greater responsibilities.”
The
lifestyle of a corporate is not as easy as it seems. With all the luxury, comes
the stress and huge effort required to maintain this luxury. Being a science student, I would like to put
it as “luxury” is directly proportional to “mental stress”.
When
the CEO of the company leaves the office, chances are one in a million that he
is out there enjoying life pursuing his hobbies or enjoying leisure time, while
his employees sweat out at work. There’s always just work, work and work on his
mind.
Ever
wondered how this huge establishment was established or how it’s still running
smoothly and earning profits? Of course it’s the team effort that’s making it
possible but who gives the directions? Who is it who is managing this team
work? Ever wondered how much work pressure are these leaders actually under?
For
a corporate, every day starts with a research on the current market, stocks and
prices of various companies and establishments. In order to run a successful
business, he has to know how the current market is unfolding and then plans his
day accordingly. He hardly ever finds time for himself. Employee tension,
meetings, negotiations, market, business issues, new plans for his business
growth; keep him occupied throughout the day.
In
addition to the heavy workload he is under, he also has the responsibility of
his family and maintaining his social life. Life gets very difficult when
trying to squeeze it all in one day, daily. It so happens that most of the
times the timing of a family function and a meeting coincide. What then? It
becomes so frustrating when he has to deal with both his client and his nagging
wife complaining about how he has no time for them. Even the old clichéd
dialogue “I am doing all this for you, darling” or getting her a diamond bracelet
doesn’t seem to work its charm then. All this stress and pressure, in the end
results in various health issues, crankiness and mental and physical imbalance.
We
always wish we had a magic wand which we could sway and make life simple and
stress free. But it’s not really a magic wand that one needs. All you need is a
little help in sharing your workload and adding time to your life! Yes, you
heard it right! You can now add time to
your life!
Studies
suggest that to live a happy stress free life, we must give emphasis to
recreational activities, exercise, yoga, maintaining work-life balance,
maintain a healthy social life; but we often find ourselves complaining who has
time to do all of this? How can I manage work and have time to indulge in such
activities?
The
answer to all these questions is Effective
Time Management.
