In this guide example, we consider a hypothetical employee. The guide for each of your employees will be specific to that particular person.
🧐What we found:
Your experience of complex emotional states and current psychological difficulties greatly affect your time management. The risks of losing time and energy in a non-resource state and recovering after it are high. This should be taken into account when planning and implementing plans.

♻️ Some problems can only be solved at the company level (for example, there are no rules for correspondence and other communication) - they are encountered not only by you and we give recommendations to the leadership on them.

📊Your weekly time budget:
88 hours - routine, including sleep
45 hours - work tasks. Of these, about 15 hours for communication and 30 for the tasks themselves.
25 hours - rest, which you need so as not to lose everything else
15 hours - happens outside the plan. This figure needs to be reduced.
5 hours - for planned activities. This is very little, it needs to be expanded by reviewing other positions.
🔥What needs to be sorted out:
- Health problems are related to stress and overwork.
- Under severe stress, you lose time to nighttime insomnia (about 2 hours from each situation).
- Because of this, you start the next day later, which adds stress.
- Trying to finish the job on time (overnight) you are actually not saving time, but losing it (health problems at night - got up later in the morning, etc.).
- Lack of horizontal connections with other employees, lack of emotional support, support in finding and implementing solutions.
- In fact, you have enough time for work tasks within a week (although you initially wrote about its lack)
- Just sometimes it's hard for you to stop the task in time (although you're already out of resources). Expectations of your own or others' condemnation do not allow you to stop work in time.
- As a result, the task completion time increases: in the evening you do it slowly because you have no strength, and in the morning you spend time correcting mistakes (which you made because you had no strength)
- A pinch in the upper shoulder girdle, probably associated with a strong fear.
- Impostor syndrome, because of it, it's difficult to perceive yourself as an equal and communicate with other colleagues, acute perception of criticism, weak criticism of this very criticism.
🛠️What we recommend:
- Plan based on the time budget that we defined together (see above) and simultaneously make the budget more balanced. You can review the routine (for example, cooking), slightly reduce the amount of rest (here you need to be very careful), reduce the risks of the unforeseen (see below).
- For a few more weeks, record how much happened outside the plan to confirm your hypotheses about the time budget, and also to reduce the amount of this unforeseen (for example, health problems or extra work calls)
