Abstract

Time management is a skill that all people, regardless of age, gender and job, can benefit from. This article is aimed at studying the causes and effects of stress and how to manage stress effectively with a focus on women. First, a study was done to examine the causes why stress occurs and the potential consequences of stress. This is followed by a search on methods to manage stress by managing a work-life balance and by effective time-management. The desire to succeed does make people prone to accepting stress as a part of life and career, but, the long term effects of stress are quite unpleasant. In addition ,our study showed that men and women react to stress in totally different ways. The method used for this study was a study of the existing literature and its interpretation in the present context.
