from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

General

This methodology is used for self-management by working people, for example in companies , universities , schools , authorities , hospitals and other institutions. It is closely related to learning methods (e.g. passing exams ), teaching techniques , problem-solving and creativity techniques , and techniques for scientific work . When learning working methods, the decisive question is how routine work can be managed practically with the right work technique so that there is enough time left for planned intellectual work. With regard to self-management, the working methodology focuses on the following:

  • The time management is the consistent and goal-oriented application of practical techniques to conduct themselves so and organize his conditions so that the available time is used wisely. In order to achieve this personal goal , the priorities have to be set correctly and secondary tasks have to be delegated to other people. The working person must not allow himself to be distracted from the right path by trivialities, for example by too time-consuming and ineffective phone calls or processing e-mails . In general, effective communication is of great importance for time management. The working person should have a tidy desk, keep an appointment calendar, keep order, use checklists, implement daily planning, carry out time loss analyzes and achieve measurable target formulations.
  • The stress management helps the working people to fight against the existing pressure and given tension. Stress management techniques, yoga , meditation , relaxation exercises and autogenic training can be helpful here. According to IH Schulz, the latter alternative is a possibility for targeted self-relaxation, in that the working person suggests certain sentences with closed eyes in the resting position and thus brings himself to rest.
  • The personal energy management as the skilful efforts of the working people to save unnecessary inserted mental and physical energy. In addition to the energy that people necessarily put into meaningful work, they often lose energy through strong affects, which are expressed, for example, in anger, anger and aggression. In addition, some workers suffer from an energy drain that makes them feel less productive. Therefore the person concerned needs a system of energy activation.
  • Self-management for coping with life begins with setting personal goals. Then the working person thinks about how he can achieve these goals through his personal planning. In order to achieve personal success , he tries to realize the goals set. The personal goals serve as target values ​​for orientation and show him where the path should go. From the perspective of the present, they describe conditions that are to be achieved in the future. This creates an individual process of coping with life. According to the concept of personal goals, the working person does not only react to external stimuli. He not only fulfills what is asked of him, but above all he acts to achieve personal goals that have been set for himself.

In various sciences , special working procedures and working methods are suggested, e.g. B. Working methods in the natural sciences (e.g. in technology, chemistry, metalworking), working techniques for lawyers, methods for economists, psychologists and teachers.
