The better you become at managing your own stress, the more you can positively affect those around you and the less other people's stress will negatively affect you. If you feel anxious, irritable, depressed, and you lost interest of work, there is certain muscle tension or headaches, you have stomach problems as well as problems with sleeping, constant fatigue, having trouble concentrating or you maybe even started using alcohol or some drugs to cope you definitely have all signs and symptoms of excessive stress at work. Every day when I come home from work I think: I could have done that task much better or I shouldn't have said that in front of office staff, I could have come earlier to work and finish everything. It's all about task and time management. You should prioritize tasks. Make a list of tasks you have to do and tackle them in order of importance. You will logically do the high-priority first. If there is an unpleasant task to accomplish get it over early in your day. I should've been smarter last week. I left the hardest task at the end of the day, gave my best to solve it. It didn't end well. I spent the night in my office. You should break projects into small steps. If a project seems overwhelming, make a step-by-step plan. One, for me, the most important part is to delegate responsibility. You do not have to do it all by yourself. You will be letting go of unnecessary stress in the process. I have always had problems with time management. The most important is to create a balanced schedule. Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. Try to find a balance between work and family life, social activities and solitary pursuits. A person needs downtime. Avoid scheduling too many things in one day. At times, we underestimate how much time it may take to complete a project or task. Distinguish between the "shoulds" and the "musts". Drop those tasks that are not truly necessary. Try to leave earlier in the morning. Even 10 or 15 minutes can make the difference. Avoid frantically rushing to your desk, a few extra minutes will give you time to ease into your day. Plan regular breaks. Yesterday, I would have probably felt much better if I had gone for a short walk instead of staying in cramped, fuggy office. Get away from your desk for lunch. Stepping away from your work to briefly relax and re-charge will help you be more, not less productive. If you feel your stress building, take a break. Sometimes the best stress reducer is simply sharing your stress with someone close to you. Getting support and empathy from someone else, is often an excellent way of blowing off your steam. Just knowing you have co-workers who are willing to assist you in times of stress will reduce your stress level. Just remember to reciprocate and help them when they are in need of it. Lastly, always try to find humour in the situation. When you, or the people around you, start taking things too seriously, find a way to break through with laughter. Share a joke or funny story. Remember you are in this together.
