How to manage stress at the workplace?

Many people are overwhelmed by stress when they fail to manage several uncertainties at once. I like to organize my time so that I can focus on three top priorities daily, with one weekly priority. Often, I find that if I am on track with my top priorities, the rest will fall into place. By setting goals and following through with actionable steps, we can achieve all that we hope for in life.

By having manageable and practical goals, and by adhering to a weekly plan of action, I am able to keep myself on track.

If a task has too many facets and I am uncertain about how to proceed, the work cannot be completed. If I divide tasks into manageable components and set realistic goals, I am more effective at work.

Many people suffer from the negative physical, mental, and emotional effects of a sedentary lifestyle, which may lead to a stressful mind but it is possible to combat these negative effects by exercising for twenty minutes a day during your lunch break, by listening mood uplifting music or by make your morning good etc.

To reduce stress and improve efficiency, David Allen outlines the process of creating checklists, storing reminders in trusted places, and eliminating distractions.

- Have fun at work. Do things that you feel passionate about. - Work for a company that cares about how people work together.

By eat a lot of sweets and having fun with colleagues. I think that playing games together (like boardgames, playstation, etc) reduces stress level and increases friendship level, which helps you feel more secure and relaxed. Also, keeping your work schedule organize helps you to track your to-do list and get it done.

By using your calendar. Plan your days and weeks ahead and you shouldn't feel stressed, because you know everything is under control :)

Taking one step at a time. Multi-tasking is a good way to be productive. However, during stress, take every task in on the basis of priority, one by one.

Better day to day management of projects !! I think a huge part of stress comes from the feeling of useless days, so you're constantly stressing on not putting the energy on what matters, and not progressing on long term goals. One productivity matrix I love is the MoSoW. Each day you should do at least 1 thing you Must do >> urgent stuff 1 thing you Should do >> non urgent but important for development 1 thing you Want to do >> something you enjoy Do this for a full week and you'll see stress go Down down Down down dooooown 🎶

I think that appropriate planning (setting goals and schedule) and taking breaks are important. What is more, finding work-life balance is necessary as it is impossible to stay mentally healthy working 24/7.

In case there is a bunch of big tasks. Decompose them and make a plan/schedule with smaller tasks. Ask for help if it is possible. The collective mind works perfectly at our company. Something went wrong, and there is no fire on prod: relax, take a break and think about the situation from different perspectives. 1-1 can help with that a lot.

Listening to music helps and having an organized to do list on the mind makes the stress less. Most cases talking to a co-worker about a non-work related matters helps too.

Schedule your tasks in advance, be result-oriented and take breaks occasionally.

Depending on the source of your stress, there will be different ways to manage. I think the most important thing is to always identify the problem first. For example I personally get stressed when I’m overwhelmed or have too much uncertainties to navigate through. What I often do is set a clear weekly focus and a maximum of 3 top priority tasks per day. As long as I’m on track with the most important things, everything else will find its way to fall into place. The key is to have manageable and practical goals :)

@elena_cirera start the day with positive thoughts. Try making a priority list at the start of your day. stay away from Negative thoughts (you might start overthinking) Take a few minutes of personal time during a busy day that will help you to relieve stress

Stress at work might be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. The way you respond to and cope with stress is influenced by your personality, experiences, and other unique qualities. Situations or events that are upsetting to your coworkers may not affect you at all. However, you can be hypersensitive to some stressors that don't bother other individuals. Identify your stress triggers to start dealing with work-related stress. After you've recognized your stressors, think about how you can deal with each situation or incident. Finding a means to change the circumstances that are producing the stress is frequently the greatest approach to cope with it.

Start your day on a positive note. Exercise regularly, eat healthy food and create a checklist of your day's tasks. Prioritize tasks on the basis of urgency and importance. Take frequent short breaks to refresh your mind and body. Do not work for long hours as it will reduce your productivity at work. Get enough sleep, relax before going to bed and avoid using electronic gadgets 2 hrs before sleeping. Don't get bogged down by small problems at work. Work with a smile!
