Importance of Time Management in Dealing with Stress:
Proper time management is one of the most effective stress-relieving techniques. It helps us complete tasks on time, avoid last-minute pressure, focus on important work, and maintain a balance between work and relaxation — thereby reducing stress significantly.

One Strategy for Improving Time Management:
Prepare a To-Do List and Prioritise — List all activities and rank them in order of importance (Must Do, Should Do, Nice to Do). Complete the most important tasks first. This ensures no task is forgotten and reduces the anxiety of pending work.

• The examiner expects two parts: (1) why time management reduces stress, and (2) one clear strategy with a brief explanation.
• Key link to highlight: unfinished/delayed tasks → stress; planned tasks → reduced stress.
• Any one valid strategy (to-do list, prioritisation, timetable, avoiding distractions) is acceptable — just name and explain it briefly.
• Do not write a long essay; two short paragraphs are sufficient for 2 marks.
