Stressed? - Get more free time!
 

Owe Wikstroem, a professor from Sweden at Uppsala University gives you a few hints how to destress and get more free time:

1. Avoid getting interested in everything.
2. You don't need to be ready with everything.
3. Switch off your phone from time to time.
4. Everything doesn't need to go fast.
5. Shut down your computer.
6. Take a walk in the sun or in the rain.
7. Appreciate common tings.
8. Take your time to learn the art of just being.
9. You have the right not to be useful and productive all the time.
10. Treat yourself with a few hours of doing nothing or something for yourself.

So, are you stressed? Then relax please and enjoy your time on tatysite! :rose:

forre, thanks for that :rose: ... coming @ a perfect time for me

:yes: .. just starting to get stressed...realizing how much I need to do til the end of January :grustno:

ahhhh...but there is still too much that needs to be ready!
ehh, actually, time on the phone is one of my fav ways of relaxing :)

I will definatelly have to listen to that one!

I also like that one a lot - esp. living in a place where 'car' means 'leaving' ...not enough walking for sure!

I have... and enjoy it too much, so near dead lines I get stressed!

1. Avoid getting interested in everything.
- Can be quite hard.
2. You don't need to be ready with everything.
- I agree and I am not.
3. Switch off your phone from time to time.
- Have done it many times.
4. Everything doesn't need to go fast.
- In my case problem is that things should go faster than they
do now.
5. Shut down your computer.
- No problem.
6. Take a walk in the sun or in the rain.
- I do that almost every day.
7. Appreciate common tings.
- I do.
8. Take your time to learn the art of just being.
- Not so easy.
9. You have the right not to be useful and productive all the time.
- I know and I`m not.
10. Treat yourself with a few hours of doing nothing or
something for yourself.
- I can easily spend few days doing something just for myself.

Apparently I`m not stressed at the moment... :D

:eek: ANYTHING but that...

The others are def. worth a shot tho! thanks Forre :D

...that sounds like a permanent vacation to me...

Thanksforre!

well my problem is that I get interested in everything and I treat myself too often with hours of doing nothing or doing things I like rather than work. :p :D

Re: Stressed? - Get more free time!
 

Did you test, personnally this revolutionary method, Forre?...:confused: ...
-->... Not to FIX the problems, to have phone & computer out of "service", out of working...and to walk during hours under the Rain..(for exemple 3 hours..hehe..)....
That slackens really your nerves? :eek:

If you guarantees to me that it works and gives good results, I will try....:p

Nath ..its Denial .... *looks at the leaves ..* ..ohh .. they are so beautiful ...

Re: Re: Stressed? - Get more free time!
 

I have tested it back in August. Works fine for me .. :cool:
3 hours in the rain???? Well, it will shut down not only your nerves but a whole nerve system I'm afraid, unless you are not a reptile. :rolleyes: :ill:

Ha ha, it sounds like my daily life! :rolleyes:

Totally unacceptable, my computer is on 24/7, i never shut it down! (gotta like Unix based systems :D )

I don't remember ever being stressed in my life. Well, maybe when i passed my baccalaureat when i was 18... But barely. :)

Intehresting.. :D

1. Avoid getting interested in everything.

That's my way of life.. :p

2. You don't need to be ready with everything.

I go to school, so that answer is not acceptable :(

3. Switch off your phone from time to time.

There wouldn't be any difference.. Nobody ever calls me. :( I use my cellphone as an alarm clock! Haha.

4. Everything doesn't need to go fast.

Of course.. But now that I have many things to do, I need to do each one fast in order to finish the next one that I haven't even started.. *stars feeling sick* :(

5. Shut down your computer.

*Heart-attack*

6. Take a walk in the sun or in the rain.

I have some kind of walking-outside-phobia. I never leave the house except to go to school. Otherwise I stay at home. And there's nothing to discuss there :D

7. Appreciate common tings.

Such as? :( I have nothing to feel happy for.

8. Take your time to learn the art of just being.

Hmm well if you never leave the house you learn that quite early in life.. :D

9. You have the right not to be useful and productive all the time.

Not according to my teachers :rolleyes: Kill em all, I say. :laugh:

10. Treat yourself with a few hours of doing nothing or something for yourself.

Hehe.

Denial , what did you drink?
ps. I rented " Billy E." today, but haven`t watched it yet. :)

sash, what are you saying... that you dont have a phone :confused: I dont believe you ;)

well, sounds like you are too relaxed up there in sweden....maybe some time spend somewhere else will be good for ya..somewhere more south...like Paris maybe :gigi: ...little 'stress' in your life, he heeeeeeee

thanks forre :rose: interesting: it sounds like the best way to de-stress is to cut yourself away from everything/everyone and just be by yourself for a while :confused: - in my case - isn't the best idea probably :no: I go for walks and do things for myself all the time though ;) ahhh, but I'm not stressed enough, I think: spending too much time not learning anything, being bored and unproductive ... it's frustrating when you're stuck doing things that you think are pointless right now ... :ill:

Re: Re: Re: Stressed? - Get more free time!
 

LOL ..coffee .. and just coffee.. and cigarette .. I dont drink alcohol ..

ps. I'm glad you did that ... let me know what you think about the movie :)
