Even the line of work has its own systole and diastole, openings at the moment are frenzied and herculean. As an employee, you can never satisfy your boss and I think this is the main reason behind the work stress. Telling honestly, when someone is getting overstressed, he comes aggressive, vexed and depressed lustfully. Thus, you need to manage your work-related stress by identifying the stressors, taking frequent breaks, setting the time limits, maintaining a schedule to keep the stress away from affecting your personal and professional engagement. Thanks- Natella:) I will definitely recommend this post.

In reply to Natella Isazada. Yes Natella, the lack of pushback regarding the deadlines was surprising to me also. The most important factor was to simply ask and people were quite receptive. I didn’t mention any delegating in this example as all of the actions I was referring to were my responsibility and required my expertise. Of course, I had been delegating actions to members of my team where they were able to assist.

In reply to Jason Johnson. Thank you so much for sharing with us your system Jason. Sounds like a very organized and well working system you have developed for yourself to rely on during the stressful times. Two nuggets that stood out most to me - how not a single person had a problem with you moving the deadline and how you made sure to find time for the gym and healthy eating!! I didn’t see anything about delegating? I imagine you didn’t find possible delegating to others some of those tasks?

Such a relevant and helpful post Natella. I currently operate under a very busy schedule both in my professional and personal life. Through the end of this summer and into the fall I reached a point where I had more new actions to deal with than I could reasonably handle and the growing pile was becoming difficult to manage. What worked well for me was to first organize, then categorize, and finally, revise due dates on any pending actions where possible. I focused my time on actions that were most urgent and most important leaving other, less urgent or less important actions to sit until I had the time to deal with them. To ensure I maintained high quality I was sure to communicate any revised timelines so that people weren’t left in the dark with potential delays. What I found to my surprise was that not one person had a problem with my request to revise or push out the completion dates from their original requests? It was during this time that I really benefitted from exercise and nutrition as well. I didn’t always feel like going to the gym or taking the time req’d to eat well but it did wonders for clearing my mind and re-energizing me for the next challenge in my path.

From my experience, I can say that any job can be stressful, even if you love what you do. There are many reasons why your work might be making you feel stressed, such as long hours, a heavy workload, your manager finding faults with what you do and other conflicts in the workplace. The main thing is not to let constant stress at work turn to burnout, which is the physical, emotional or mental exhaustion from work. Your tips are as always very helpful for those who want to avoid burnout in their current roles, Natella!
