The good news is you’re the pilot.”

The Bhawanipur Education Society College held a seminar on “Balancing Act: Navigating Time and Stress in the Modern World” on 4th March, 2024 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Society Hall of the college campus which was attended by 46 students who were seeking the right guidance on how to be the master of time management. In the 21st Century, time management has become a significant concern as the entire world strives to keep pace with its relentless flow. The realization that lost time is irreplaceable adds to the stress of not effectively managing our time. Hence, BESC extended a warm welcome to Mr. Ramesh Mishra, an Education Management Professional from SP Jain Institute of Management, for the session. He simplified the ways of Time Management and shared tips to relieve stress. Previously Mr. Mishra was associated with OP Jindal University, NMIMS, Times Institute, and Malayalam Manorama Media House and has been associated with conceptualizing and developing marketing and brand strategy for more than 15 years. The seminar began with Ms Samiksha Khanduri, from the Dean’s office felicitating Mr. Mishra.

Mr. Mishra began his lecture by stating that to manage time, we must not only have a timetable but also execute the timetable. Along with a timetable, having a proper plan is the first necessity as per Mr. Mishra. He also said, “To understand the value of a millisecond ask the person who lost the gold in the Olympics.” He shared that once we progress in life the value of time increases and stress management, it is all about loving whatever you do to reduce stress. He also asked everyone to think positively and surround themselves with positivity because negative emotions make us feel more stressed out. Most importantly, we should stop building castles in the air as he went on to explain the effects of stress on our physical and mental health and our behavioural patterns. He shared the tricks to escape stress which include having a healthy body, a spiritual mind, and an intellectual brain.

The session was interactive as Mr. Mishra clarified and resolved the doubts of the audience at the end. One of the questions included how one can avoid negative thoughts, to which he answered that building up confidence and having a positive environment can help us stay away from negative thoughts. He ended the session by throwing some light on the SP Jain Institute Of Management and how it is one of the leading schools in the area of MBA.
