Manage Stress Effectively

We are face with stress in our life, be it emotional and organisational stress. A bit of stress may have positive outcome as it become a challenge.

Organisational Stress
Priority of work
Prioritise work and do what is urgent and important first. Also learn to delegate to our colleagues according to their strength so that we are confident of getting the assigned job completed on time and with the desired results. We are to capitalise on people's strength. We do not want to have a situation whereby we are trying to cope with excessive workload and the fear of not completing the assigned task on time. The consequences may be low morale and even panic which result in emotional response of fight or flight.

Time Management
We have to learn how to manage our time effectively. We may have the option of partnering with a colleague who is good at time management and is willing to mentor.

Being able to say `No'
This is difficult but sometimes we have to reject tasks diplomatically. This is indeed a tall order.

Manage personal stress
We are not to bring our personal problems to the workplace. If our personal problems are brought in the workplace, chances are our productivity will go down the drain. We are to resolve our personal problems with the appropriate solutions such as conflict management.

If we able to apply the above techniques, we will be more productive and our stress level will decrease.
