Top Time Management For Life Coaches, Stress Coaches, Business Coaches, and Trainers. Learn why the right Time Management Skills are necessary for coaching. Why Time Stress is such a major anxiety trigger and stressor in our clients’ lives. Why it is so important for coaches and leaders to manage their time effectively.
Understanding The Concept Of Time
Did you know that before 1884, there were no set time zones or any worldwide global system that effectively standardised timekeeping like we have today?
Although time is something in many ways we cannot escape from the human perspective, it is something that we can all struggle to understand never mind manage effectively. Because as human beings we connect time with our biggest human fears.
Causes Of Time Stress
The biggest causes of time stress are related to our views of life and our mortality. When we are a baby we find it much easier to be in a state of presence and being.
As a child we start to form beliefs that life is so much better when we grow up, so we want to rush time towards growing up.
When we get older we want to extend time, when we believe that time is running out. But it’s just not our general life span that causes time stress. It is the societal pressure that is put on us by modern society that can keep us chronically stressed about time.
That is why time management skills are becoming increasingly important to help clients live happier, healthier, and balanced lives.
Modern Day Stress
Modern-day stress is associated with all sorts of expectations, pressure, and demands that the modern world puts on us. The more demands we allow into our life the less time we have for other healthier and more important things. The problem is we do have to still function and work in the modern world. Some of us have to help run large corporations or the stress of more limited resources in a small business.
That is why effective time management skills are an important work skill and life skill in the modern world that helps us reduce and manage our stress more effectively.
Good time management skills help us to become calmer, more confident, and more productive. So healthy time management is really important for not just stress coaches but business coaches and trainers.

Learn To Let Go: The ability to let go of what isn’t that important is such a vital time management skill in the modern world. It is so psychologically freeing for clients when they start to realise they don’t have to be tied down to unhealthy expectations and pressures.
