CLOCK OUT 

(MUSIC PLAYS) 
No Audio: Tires screeching sound effect as Worker rushes to clock in.
Is your life ruled by the clock? 
Are you constantly rushing to the next moment or hustling to catch up? 
There will always be deadlines and start times 
but your perception of time and how you use it directly affects your energy and stress level. 
Time is an absolute but you can have a fluid or rigid approach. 
Both are helpful in different situations. 
When keeping appointments, promptness lets people know that you value them and their time. 
A pattern of punctuality reduces tension overall.

Where you should allow yourself more flexibility is in things you enjoy. 
Make sure your schedule isn't so regimented that you miss out on the self-care practices 
that keep you even and balanced. 
Take along a book or a healthy snack to make good use of any wait time in your day.

Listen to yourself when deciding your next task. 
If you really need to rest, then the highest use of your time may be a nap. 
How you feel when you are doing something is just as important as completing the task. 
Although it may sound counterintuitive getting up an hour earlier in the morning 
can help you feel more rested. 
When you can take time to eat properly and prepare for your day 
in a centered way you can by-pass the anxiety of that overdrive feeling.

Multi-tasking may seem like a way to beat the clock 
but focusing on one demand until completion reduces stress. 
The item is checked off your list instead of continually pulling your attention. 
Matching your approach to your mission puts you in control of the clock. 
It's your time. So take time to take care.
