Stress Management
Introduction
The reflection report is prepared on ‘Stress Management Plan’. It is prepared to provide
an overview of the current major stressor and the effects of the same in in my life. The basic
purpose of this report is to develop an implementable action plan to reduce the effects of the
stressor. Moreover, the report will assist me in overcoming the real life stressor of my lifecycle.
Primary Stressor
I am dealing with a primary stressor of ‘Poor Time Management’ in my life. It is the
result of my poor skill in managing my time with the important activities. Because of this
stressor, I have been facing many issues including lower academic performance, poor punctuality
and mental stress of lack of energy, impatience and hypertension.
I am a college student of College name and a part time employer in name of the café you
are familiar with cafeteria. I cannot drop out from my job, as it is an important means of meeting
my finance. Because of my poor management, I had made a delay in preparing my previous year
assignment. It was a decent assignment but because of the delay in submission, I have received a
poor grade from my tutor.
Rationale
I am facing a major issue with the above stressor because despite being a college student,
I am also engaged in a part time job. In order to complete both the activities, I feel difficulty in
timely completing the task allocated in both the college and job requirement. I have a busy
schedule as I am attending the college in the morning until College ending time. Further, major
problem associated with my job is that it has fluctuating working hours with six days working.
As per the daily schedule, I have to work minimum for five flexible hours as a part time worker.
Because of the floating working hours, I feel struggle in allocating my time to the other
necessary task. Moreover, these two major activities almost took my whole day leaving me with
mere time to complete other important activities resulting in stress, delay works and pending
deliveries.
