Welcome to PRDDV005Time and Stress Management!

My name is Dr. Tamara Gillis, I’m one of the professors who helped develop this course. Time and stress management are two basic components of success. Our challenge is to budget our time wisely and create a system to identify, evaluate, and eliminate personal and work-based distractors and stressors. This course teaches you how to manage your time and reduce stress in your life. Unit 1 introduces the concepts of time management and strategies for managing your use of time in your daily life. Unit 2 discusses ways that time management strategies help us become more productive and engaged workers -- whether we are working by ourselves or with others. Unit 3 introduces the concepts of stress management and strategies for reducing stress in our work and daily lives. You can start by reviewing the course learning outcomes and the syllabus, you can find both on the left navigation panel. Let’s get started!
