In implementation of the curriculum set by our university to prepare its faculty and administrative staff, the Continuing Education Center organized a training course titled "Time Management: Balancing Work Pressure and Mental Health" on Sunday and Monday, [Date/Month/Year]. The course was delivered by Lecturer Dr. Azhar Hashim Alwan, targeting faculty members.
On the first day of the course, the lecturer addressed the concept of time management, defining it as the ability to plan, organize activities, prioritize tasks, and efficiently utilize time to achieve goals. He highlighted time management strategies tailored for faculty members within the academic environment, as they represent one of the busiest groups due to their split responsibilities between teaching, administrative duties, and scientific research.
On the second day, the lecturer explored how poor time management leads to psychological stress, detailing its direct psychological impacts alongside the resulting physical symptoms. These physical effects include sleep disorders (such as insomnia, disrupted sleep, or hypersomnia), tension headaches, muscle spasms caused by stress, and gastrointestinal issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
