3a:Explain some difficulties that can occur with each step in the rational problem-solving model.

unanimity as to the definition; problem is proposed, and the first acceptable solution is accepted tly, and satisfactory change often occurs, and it may take a long time to implement a solution. See Table 2 for additional constraints. 3b:Identify and explain the key steps of the analytical problem-solving model. Then provide a problem-solving example that follows each key step.

problem, not just its symptoms. (2) Generate alternati selection of any one solution until several alternatives have been proposed. The quality of solutions can be significantly enhanced by considering multiple alternatives es careful weighing of the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed alternatives before making a final selection. (4) Implement the right sequence. See Table 1 for additional information regarding this model. Also, students should provide an excellent and appropriate example that includes each of the four steps. 2a.1: On Tuesday, Mary experienced encounter stress. On Wednesday, Mary experienced situational stress. On Thursday, Mary experienced anticipatory stress. On Friday, Mary experienced time stress. In providing support, students should relate relevant chapter concepts to justify their choices of the type of stressor(s) Mary experienced; student responses related to support/justification will vary. 2b.1: Time management using an effectiveness approach involves aligning time use with core personal principles whereas managing time using an efficiency approach involves an emphasis on accomplishing more by reducing wasted time. The most commonly prescribed solutions for attacking problems of time stress are to use calendars and planners, to generate to-do lists, and to learn to say "no." However, these approaches address the efficiency approach to time management. 2c.1: Managing time using an effectiveness approach means that (1) individuals spend their time on important matters, not just urgent matters; (2) people are able to distinguish clearly between what they view as important versus what they view as urgent; (3) results rather than methods are the focus of time management strategies; and (4) people have a reason not to feel guilty when they must say "no." An extremely useful tool to manage time effectively is the "time management matrix" in which activities are categorized in terms of their relative importance and urgency. Important activities are those that produce a desired result. 2c.2: They accomplish a valued end, or they achieve a meaningful purpose. Urgent activities are those that demand immediate attention. They are associated with a need expressed by someone else, or they relate to an uncomfortable problem or situation that requires a solution as soon as possible. See Figure 4 for additional information related to the time management matrix.

C1: 1) Prioritizing Determine what is important in the long term and stay true to it; (2) Goal

setting Focus on immediate goal accomplishments; and (3) Small wins Break the goal down at the beginning and change something that is relatively easy to change. Build momentum.
