A report issued by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in 1999 on stress in the work-place concluded that 40 percent of workers consider their job very or extremely stressful. In another study, the Attitudes in the American Workplace VII survey sponsored by the Marlin Company and conducted by Harris Interactive in 2001, a third of workers said their jobs were harming their physical and emotional health; 42 percent said job pressures were interfering with their personal relationships. In this study, 50 percent of workers claimed they and their fellow workers had a more demanding workload than they had a year ago, and nearly that percentage said they have too much work to do and/or too many unreasonable deadlines. Interestingly, 73 percent said that they would not want their boss’s job. A Gallup survey conducted in 2006 confirmed that at least four out of ten Americans who are employed full time or part time say they frequently experience stress. This survey also found that 61 percent of full-time workers say they do not have enough time to do the things they want to do. Tough and unrelenting workloads, compounded by unexpected demands from other sources, can create a feeling of stress and frustration, negatively impacting our attitude, productivity, and even our health. Clearly, these pressures have an important impact on our lives. If we were better able to manage job and life pressures, we would not feel such stress and be subject to its influence. By using an organizational scheme that captures our personal and work tasks, defines the steps of those tasks, and defines our priori-ties, we can take much better control of our lives.
