“…In addition, accrediting bodies and funding sources are demanding increased accountability and productivity (i.e., positive client outcomes) across practice settings (e.g., schools) and specializations (Sexton, Whiston, Bleuer, & Walz, 1997). Financial constraints and time limitations, however, result in fewer opportunities to participate in conferences and staff training activities (Hawkins & Klas, 1997), specifically in the areas of brief and cognitive-behavioral therapies (Brooks & Riley, 1996). This lack of training and professional development not only thwarts opportunities for staff promotion and advancement (Marini, Todd, & Slate, 1995), a major concern in the substance abuse field (Evans & Hohenshil, 1997), it also jeopardizes quality client care.…”

Counselor stamina is deemed essential in the midst of a consistently challenging, complex, and changing mental health care environment. Rather than perpetuating conversations about "burnout" and "burnout prevention," this article provides a salutary or health-promoting perspective. Seven suggestions for counselor stamina are presented and discussed, based on a review of the literature and the author's reflections on clinical practice today. Each suggestion corresponds to 1 of the 7 letters in the word stamina.

“…According to Sardinha et al (2020), there is a set of variables related to TM present in the various models of TM: Planning (maximization of activities and results), greater efficiency, productivity, worklife balance, the paradigm of importance, awareness of time (Aeon and Aguinis, 2017;Boniwell and Osin, 2015;Claessens et al, 2007;Hawkins and Klas, 1997;Malkoc and Tonietto, 2019). Thus, these authors consider that, for effective and efficient TM, the following principles should be taken into account: i) Awareness of time (time perspectives); ii) Mission, vision, and personal goals; iii) Paradigm of importance; iv) Planning and prioritization (maximization and prioritization of activities, avoiding waste of time); (v) conscious decisionmaking; (vi) work-life balance; vii) Organizational culture (how to manage and look at the time)-Accountability of employees (proactive within the field of activity, choosing their best working time).…”

Innovation, the globalization of markets, changing living standards, and increasing average life expectancy are among the factors influencing work activity and impacting workers' performance. Within this context, the significance of time management (TM) is underscored as a critical means of rationalizing a limited and valuable resource, namely time. Effective time management is essential for achieving a balance between professional and family obligations while maintaining a high quality of life and achieving optimal outcomes. Although not a new phenomenon, the importance of time management has grown significantly in contemporary society. Motivated by the awareness of this issue, the present study aimed to validate a self-diagnostic tool for time management (TMST) that enables a quick assessment of an individual's time management skills and facilitates the development of personalized plans of action and improvement based on the identified profile. The results demonstrate a significant enhancement in all three sections of the TMST (time perspective, self-recognition, and time management) following the implementation of the recommended strategies. Furthermore, the conduction of interviews to evaluate and validate the TMST revealed that the tool adds value to time management, thereby contributing to both theoretical and practical advancements in this field.

“…Hawkins and Klas (1997) found that employing effective time management was a way of coping with stress. DiGiacomo and Adamson (2001) suggest that poor time management skills often result in reduced learning, unprofessional behaviour, poor performance and increased stress for students and clinical educators during clinical placements.…”

Speech Pathology students in Australia complete clinical placements as part of their professional preparation. Stress levels experienced by students while on clinical placement can impact on their ability to learn and cope within the workplace. This study explores potential sources of stress for students while on clinical placement and uncovers that differences in the way students and clinical educators perceive how time is spent during clinical placements may be a factor in student stress. In addition, students' time management abilities were measured using the Australian Time and Organisation Management Scale (ATOMS) over a one year period to determine the impact of clinical placements on the development of abilities in this area. Clinical Educators also rated students' time management abilities during clinical placements to determine the extent to which students and clinical educators agree about their time management abilities. The study also investigates the stress levels of students on clinical placement and how students cope with their stress. The majority of students minimized the impact of external sources of stress, developed time management abilities and used appropriate coping strategies to keep stress to a moderate level during their clinical placements.
