Managing Stress on Busy
Days
With the stress and busy lives we lead, we can't help but feel that
there aren't enough hours during the day- that the 24
hours allotted to us aren't enough to cover all our
priorities.
Being honest with ourselves, however, we have to admit
that the overwhelming feeling of having too many things
- too much work to do - is at some point, our own doing.
When it comes to work, you have to ask yourselves if
it's all worth it. If your efforts bring a promise of
triumph, then by all means, push yourself forward.
Giving up is probably one of the biggest mistakes you
can ever make when you strive to win. Every trial
surpassed is a step closer to your goal.
Now, if you've made up your mind about going forward and
overcoming all the hurdles, here are a few helpful tips
that will make your mission of managing tasks easier:

Managing Stress on Busy
Days
1. Focus on what needs to be done - with the amount of
work you still have to do, know which elements are your
priorities. Lower priority tasks can be rescheduled
while you concentrate on the higher priority tasks.
2. Break down your schedule and allot a reasonable
amount of time for each of the tasks - this applies more
to the smaller tasks. You only need to give a fraction
of the overall time completing the less important
chores.
3. Eliminate clutter - Clutter distracts your mind, and
if you need to clear the space before starting anything,
then by all means, do so. In the end, you can
concentrate better and finish your work faster.
4. Set goals - without goals, you simply drift through
life like a fish that follows the current of the sea.
Goals give you the adrenaline that you need to complete
what needs to be done.
5. Focus - make sure that you set up a work area where
there are fewer distractions. Don't give in to
temptation and position your work station beside the
television. Be strong, be firm, even with yourself.
6. Know when to pamper yourself - spoil yourself and
give yourself small rewards. The gratifying portion of
your day does not have to be elaborate. In fact, a
simple neck message or a cup of herbal tea will do.
7. Ask for help - know that even the heroes in movies
needed help at some point. Seek the advice of friends
and know that you can also delegate tasks to the people
in your life.
If you continue to stress about everything, your health
is bound to fail. It's not a choice between your job and
health. It's simply a matter of balance, in knowing when
to say no and let go.
If the amount of work reaches the
point wherein your health and relationships are
affected, then maybe it's time to rethink what you're
doing and how to better manage your stress on busy
days.
