Effective Time Management - TIME SAVERS - RELAXATION
Peter Drucker has himself said
that “ to be effective, the executive must be fresh and energetic. He must
therefore, learn to relax adequately and wisely”. Recognizing the need to avoid
stress (100 million working days one lost yearly in the UK due to stress-related
problems), many employers in the UK, USA, Japan, and Germany have made paid
vacations compulsory.
Relaxation rejuvenates a tired
mind and body, restores the elasticity and vigor essential to sustained creative
effort. The subconscious mind often takes over and furnishes great
ideas/inspirations even during enforced rest. Sir Walter Raleigh, Mahatma
Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru wrote their magnum opuses while in solitary
confinement. Colloquial wisdom is on target when it teaches “ all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy”.
