Ways to Prevent Job Stress
- Take frequent breaks when you find yourself procrastinating, daydreaming, have a mental block or just feeling tense in general.If your task requires more concentration, take more breaks.
- Set your proirities every morning. Have a list and sort them from high to low priority. Make sure you can complete at least one of the high priority items, even if you have to say no to a low priotiy item.
- Make a day where you can clean up your desk, sort your mail, and return phone calls, preferrably on a Friday, so you can start your next week fresh.
- Try to avoid stressful / unneccessary meetings that you can accomplish by a quick call or memo.
