Clocking Into Wellness : Health Benefits of Time Management

Time management felt foreign. I felt swamped by work, exams, and the pressure of meeting “deadlines” — which I’ve recently reframed semantically as “due dates” for mental wellness purposes.

Have you ever had a dream where you had a flight to catch and “woke up in the dream” 20 minutes before the flight, only to rush into 2 hours of traffic?

In the dream, your heart is rapidly beating as you throw on God-knows-what, race into your car, and attempt to swerve between every car, climb curbs, and run red lights, only to meet your undeniable fate—a missed flight.

Welcome to my life during college– where missed deadlines were the equivalent of missed flights.

Time management is wellness when done effectively.

Time management, known as organizing, planning, and allocating time between activities, can help you accomplish tasks peacefully and joyfully. Here are three benefits of optimizing your time:

1. Reduced Stress:

Effective time management lets you prioritize tasks, leading to a more organized and less chaotic schedule. By minimizing procrastination and efficiently allocating your time, you can reduce stress levels and promote a sense of control over your daily life.

2. Improved Sleep Quality:

Proper time management enables you to allocate sufficient time for rest, which is essential for optimal health. Avoiding late-night work sessions and adhering to a consistent sleep schedule can enhance sleep quality and promote overall well-being.

3. Enhanced Physical Health:

Effective time management makes prioritizing exercise and healthy meal preparation easier. By allocating time for regular physical activity and nutritious meals, you can improve your physical health, boost energy levels, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
