Common Factors Causing Work Stress:

  • Extensive workload
  • Conflicts in the workplace
  • Low-paid jobs
  • Unable to make decisions
    Unclear performance expectations
  • Monotonous or boring work

8 Steps To Manage Work Stress:

  • Own Your Morning: How you begin your day usually explains how your entire day will pass. After waking up, pushing yourself to feed your kids and sending them to school, swallowing your breakfast and eluding traffic, several people reach the workplace already worried. That makes them tense even when there’s no such pressure. Hence, start your day off with planning and positivity. Work out/meditate if time permits or spend time with nature. And jot down the work that you shall perform.
  • Avoid Multitasking: Once upon a time, multitasking was considered an amazing way to get maximum work done in a day. But over time, people have discerned that calculating something during a phone meeting often leads to inefficient accuracy. That also leads to frustration and stress because you’ve to perform that job from the beginning. Therefore, don’t split your focus and do tasks one by one.
  • Exercise At Lunch: Desk-bound jobs often make you feel sluggish. In addition, you need to contend with your physical and mental health during work. As a solution, you can exercise during lunch break. Take a short exercise if your schedule permits you. That way, you’ll sound off, boosts your mood and recoup the energy for work.
  • Spare Time To Recharge: Your weekdays are going to be busy. However, taking time out will prevent burnout. Listening to your favourite podcast, watching a comedy show or taking a nap are a few ways you can revive your energy. Additionally, take mini breaks and disconnect with your phone and work. That way, you can refill your fuel and get back to work with double energy.
  • Manage Your Time: Time management is typically related to the organisation of your work. Disorganised work often leads to stress. Thus, set a priority list for your work. Rate them based on their significance. Not to mention, be realistic with your checklist. Furthermore, improve your project management skills and conquer your procrastination.
  • Avoid Participating In Gossips: Emotional well-being takes a toll majorly due to internal conflicts. And that arises due to gossips. Every company has a set of employees who are prone to gossips. Avoid being in that situation. However, when you encounter any of such circumstances, either focus on the positive, neglect the talk or walk away.
  • It’s Okay To Not Be Perfect Some Days: Typically, good performers obtain a sense of achievement by excelling in their work. However, being a perfectionist has some pros as well as cons. All you know must be its advantages. However, the downside is you give extra time to perfecting your work, take all the burden on your shoulder, and keep yourself under pressure. So, concentrate on your efforts, not the results. And remember, it’s okay to NOT be perfect some days!
  • Switch Off Your Work Mode: Disconnecting from your work and relaxing is a must. And in order to be a perfectionist, don’t let your vacation days go to waste. Taking a vacation doesn’t mean you’ve to go out of town or country. You can also unwind at home with your family. That way, when you come back to work, you feel re-energised and give the best.

So, workaholics, your overall well-being is important at work. If you encounter stressful experiences every day, make sure you apply any of the above or all the ways. That way, you’ll wind down and feel stress-free, improving your productivity at work!
