Stress is a word we are all too familiar with. Is it something that we can control? In many cases, I believe the answer to be yes. Feeling overwhelmed at times can lead to stress. One suggestion I have which has worked for me many times is to focus on one thing at a time. For example, if you work in an office and your desk is full of scattered papers, this can lead to stress just by looking at it. Try organizing the papers by placing the highest priority items on top. Focus on that top form, complete that task, and then move on to the next. Then when distractions occur, and they will, return to your work working on the top form once again. As the pile gets smaller, you feel the feeling of satisfaction of accomplishment. As more work comes to you, simply prioritize it by placing it in the pile at the appropriate spot. Of this may not work for everyone that it has worked for me many times. Give it a try and see if your stress level doesn’t drop a notch or two.
