Stress Management in tough economic times

As everyone is aware, there is a financial crisis occurring across the globe right now. Financial concerns is often a stressor that is mentioned by participants during Stress Management training. Stress management is as easy as identifying what is in your control and what is out of your control (i.e. the controllability factor) and trying to change what you have control over and not worrying (too much) about what you can't control.

Another Time Management Example

I facilitated a Time Management course yesterday and had some interesting moments. First, I had my typical participant who runs down the hall and through door while completing the pre-work - trying not to be late (for time management training). Second, the group had a good discussion on utilizing a prioritized action list. Research states that creating a "to do" the night before or the morning of is an effective way to manage time and stay organized.

What are your thoughts on this situation?: One participant stated that she crosses items off her list after she completes them and then at some point she finds herself re-writing her list because it gets to messy.
