1 Plan ahead

One of the best ways to reduce stress is to plan ahead and prioritize your tasks. Use a calendar, a to-do list, or a project management tool to keep track of your deadlines and milestones. Break down large or complex tasks into smaller and manageable steps. Set realistic and achievable goals and monitor your progress. If you encounter any problems or delays, communicate them to your supervisor or team as soon as possible and ask for help or support if needed.

I've found that the first year of doing anything new is a learning journey. You take lots of notes and calendar a lot. This serves as a baseline to identify key timelines and pull them up by a week or two to build in some breathing room and flexibility. This is particularly helpful when your tasks depend on those of others. The coordination and collaboration takes time and intention.

2 Take breaks

Working non-stop can be exhausting and counterproductive. You need to take regular breaks to recharge your energy, clear your mind, and relax your body. Try to schedule breaks throughout your day, such as in the morning, after lunch, and before the end of your shift. During your breaks, you can do some stretching, breathing, or meditation exercises, have a snack or a drink, listen to some music, read a book, or chat with a colleague. Avoid checking your email, phone, or social media during your breaks, as they can add more stress and distract you from your work.

If you're tired or unfocused, productivity is impacted. So plan to be focused on one task at a time with a mix of quick wins and some tasks that will take some time and energy. Build in a break every 20-30 mins. Whether the break is a 2 minute call to check in on your kids or parents, or it's a 5 minute break to get up, get a drink of water and get a few steps. That scheduled break to take care of you and the things that run in the background of your mind will be an investment as the next 20-30 min deep work session will be that much more focused and efficient.

3 Organize your workspace

Another way to manage stress is to organize your workspace and make it comfortable and efficient. A cluttered and messy workspace can make you feel overwhelmed and frustrated. A clean and tidy workspace can help you focus and find what you need. Try to keep your desk, shelves, drawers, and files in order and label them clearly. Dispose of any unnecessary or outdated items and documents. Use ergonomic furniture and equipment to avoid strain and injury. Adjust the lighting, temperature, and noise level to suit your preferences.

Often the questions your clients ask you are the foundation for where your next learning opportunity comes from. My favorite reply to something I didn't already know was always, "I don't know, but let's find out together." Involving someone else's needs helps put a priority on the learning and gives it purpose and immediate application. It also builds confidence and forges relationships when you learn together.
