If you're a woman, odds are you're adept at juggling. The series of publications and instructor's guidelines are designed to help women gain more control of their time and life by making the right choices. The program is flexible. Specialists can teach any or all of the segments.
Many specialists drop a portion into an existing program.
For example, during a meeting of hospital and nursing home employees in Cape Girardeau specialists taught the difference between time effectiveness and time efficiency during a workshop sponsored by the State Hospital Association and the State Health Department. In Chillicothe, the Division of Family Services requested extension specialists teach several segments during regularly scheduled meetings of the agency's income maintenance personnel, all of whom are women. Susan Mitchell, a regional specialist in Livingston County, taught the group segments on stress management, self-esteem and time management. The program's emphasis on the practical means participants walk away with tools they can use immediately. The segment on stress management includes a Daily Stress Record where women are encouraged to chronicle stressful events and how they react.
