“This comprehensive workbook deserves to be in the library of every active therapist, but it shouldn’t be left on the shelf! Once again, the authors have empowered the reader with straightforward instructions on every major approach to stress management known. From worry to chronic headaches to information overload, here is your one-stop guide to recovery.”
—R. Reid Wilson, Ph.D., author of Don’t Panic: Taking Control of Anxiety Attacks
“This text remains, after twenty years, the clearest, best-organized, and most readable book on stress management. It has achieved the status of the ‘classic’ self-help reference in the field.”
—Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D., author of The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook, Coping with Anxiety, and Beyond Anxiety and Phobia
“An exemplary book on stress. It is lucidly written, rationally ordered, and comprehensive, and each section is densely packed with instructions and exercises which make the workbook easy to practice.”

Goal Setting and Time Management
In this chapter you will learn to: Understand the limits of multitasking Clarify values, define your goals, and develop a plan to reach your goals Assess how you are currently spending your time Reorganize your time to fit your priorities Combat procrastination Use shortcuts for time management
Background
Most people approach the subject of time management with one major question: “How can I get more done in less time?” If you are one of these people, you are probably wondering how you are going to fit some of the exercises described in the other chapters of the complete Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook into your already overloaded schedule. You may feel so pressured to take care of the many demands and all the details in your life that you rarely have guilt-free time to do as you please. Or you may have loads of free time, yet you never get around to doing the things that would give you the most satisfaction. Other problems associated with ineffective time management include the following:
Constant rushing Frequent lateness Low productivity, energy, and motivation Frustration Impatience Chronic vacillation between alternatives Difficulty setting and achieving goals Procrastination Lack of focus and purpose Unproductive multitasking
How is it that although each one of us has twenty-four hours in a day, some of us feel as though we have no time at all, while others manage to get their work done and still have enough time left over to enjoy themselves? People who manage their time effectively have learned to structure their lives so that they focus most of their time and energy on what is most important to them; they minimize the time they spend on activities they do not value. They realize that the quality of their lives is enhanced when they do a few things well, instead of trying to find time to do a little of everything.
In order to realize the goals of effective time management, it is also important to look at how you can achieve balance in your life. Effective time management is a powerful way to lower your stress level, particularly when you use it to create balance in your life.
Limits of Multitasking
In today’s business world people often think they can juggle phone calls, e-mails, text messages, and computer work to get more done. It is not uncommon to hear a prideful “I was multitasking.” In the December 2004 issue of Scientific American Mind , an article entitled “The Limits of Multitasking” by Klaus Manhart reported that in “a study done by the Families and Work Institute in New York City, 45 percent of U.S. workers believe they are asked or expected to work on too many tasks at once.
