The sad part about stress is that you cannot eliminate it, but you can control how you respond to it. Rather than spending wasteful hours trying to eliminate every problem in life, think about your priorities and place them ahead of your problems. Live each day one hour at a time according to your priority schedule, but still anticipate interruptions.

Understanding the problems related to stress is pretty straightforward, but how do you find a simple solution for reducing stress in your life? Go to the self-help section of the bookstore and you will find a plethora of how-to-reduce-stress-in-your-life books. While most of these books present good tips based on quality research, you often end up adding more stress to your day just finding time to sit down and read the book! Unfortunately there are very few things in life under your complete control, mainly the actions of people and events that happen to you. You can however, control to an extent some of the people and events you allow to affect daily life.

My quest to be more productive, better time management… finally there is a ray of hope – an eBook.
The free eBook by Mark McGuinness is very well written making it an easy and quick read. It is very motivating and some of the techniques can easily be put to practice.
Sisyphus is a figure from the Greek mythology who was punished for his deceitful crimes. His punishment was to roll a huge rock up a steep hill, which he failed every time. Before he could reach the top of the hill, the rock would roll back down, and he has to begin again.

Your objectives are clear. You want to walk them though the process and then show off with some pretty looking graphs and charts from the data you collected. Now it’s time to deliver. You run through the slides one last time. Practice, Practice, Practice. You feel good about it. You let out a smirk. You know you are going to blow them away. Ah! But there is a twist…
