LIFE SKILLS PROJECT

What is Time Management?• Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising

conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness , efficiency or productivity.

• It is a meta-activity with the goal to maximize the overall benefit of a set of other activities within the boundary condition of a limited amount of time.

• Time management may be aided by a range of skills, tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects, and goals complying with a due date. Initially, time management referred to just business or work activities, but eventually the term broadened to include personal activities as well. A time management system is a designed combination of processes, tools, techniques, and methods. Time management is usually a necessity in any project development as it determines the project completion time and scope.

Importance Of Time Management In A Student’s

Life Time is a major source for a student. A student does a lot of activities

in his daily routine, out of which some (study) are related to his career, some (having food) are essential for his life and some (games etc) are for entertainment or physical fitness. Still some activities have no use and just waste time. Similarly if the activities for entertainment exceeds than enough it wastes the time of a student like using internet (chatting and emails for recreation ) for hours, playing games for hours, watching movies or listening to music for hours. Such activities are called “distracters” which distract one from one’s real purpose.

No one wastes time intentionally. Time is always wasted in insensible way that’s why a student does not feel when he wastes time but he realizes in the days of exam. So it is better to utilize the present time more effectively than crying over past in future . If a student wastes time it means he is careless about his study or he does not know how to manage time.

strengthen your relationship.

HOW TO HANDLE RELATIONSHIPS If you’ve found yourself in a heated argument, the best thing you can do is walk away for a little while. Blow off some steam with a walk or by talking things out with a clear headed friend. If you just need some rest, take a nap or a meditation nap.Ask yourself what part of the argument is your responsibility. How did you contribute to this argument? What can you do to resolve it? Do you need to apologize?I’m sorry.It was my fault.How can I make it right again?

● What’s It All About?From your perspective, what is the argument really about? What would the other person say the argument is about? What common goals do you both share that could be used as a vehicle to reach a resolution?

● How is the other person feeling? How would it feel to be in their shoes? Be honest. What are their fears behind the anger? Focus on the good qualities in the other person and consider what their goals are.

● Better to Be Happy than to Be Right. Conflict can be hurtful and damaging to a relationship when allowed to run wild. Take a step back to view the big picture. What do you really want? What is your goal?At the end of your life, how will you view this argument? What will you wish you did? How can you emerge from this conflict and return to a light and peaceful state?

DEPRESSION

WHAT IS DEPRESSION?❑ Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can

affect a person's thoughts, behavior, feelings and sense of well-being.

❑ Some people describe depression as “living in a black hole” or having a feeling of impending doom.  People with a depressed mood can feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, ashamed or restless and men in particular may even feel angry, aggressive, and restless.

❑ They may lose interest in activities that were once pleasurable, experience loss of appetite or overeating, have problems concentrating, remembering details or making decisions, and may contemplate, attempt or commit suicide.

❑ Depression is different from normal sadness in that it engulfs your day-to-day life, interfering with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and have fun. The feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness are intense and unrelenting, with little, if any, relief.

● Loss of energy. Feeling fatigued, sluggish, and physically drained. Your whole body may feel heavy, and even small tasks are exhausting or take longer to complete.

● Self-loathing. Strong feelings of worthlessness or guilt. You harshly criticize yourself for perceived faults and mistakes.

● Reckless behavior. You engage in escapist behavior such as substance abuse, compulsive gambling, reckless driving, or dangerous sports.
