Make a to do list and prioritize tasks based on their urgency and importance. Breaking down bigger tasks into smaller and manageable prevents one from feeling overwhelmed. A bigger mountain will always overwhelm and stress you but when you break tasks into smaller and manageable pieces, you shall be relieved indeed. The load in your shoulders will be light.

- Limit multi-tasking
Focus on one task at a time. Multi tasking can reduce your productivity and increase stress. Single tasking allows you to give your full attention to the task at hand. If you want to be a productive person, avoid multitasking at all costs. Learn to focus on that one important task at a time. As you are doing this, your productivity will increase and your stress will reduce dramatically.
- Take breaks
Incorporate breaks into your schedule in order to rest and recharge. When you don’t take the relevant and necessary breaks, you will not have the energy to accomplish whatever you need to accomplish. Breaks allow you to recharge and come back strong and energetic. When you rest, you will feel fresh and energetic. As a result, you will accomplish more.
Yes I understand the fact that you are a workaholic but rest is needed. A time of recharge is needed. Even phones need to be charged once in a while in order for them to perform at their best. Work but schedule some necessary breaks in between and your body shall heavily thank you.
- Get quality sleep
Do you also burn the midnight oil? Well I have bad news for you today. Burning the midnight oil can reduce your focus and increase your stress. So it is very important to get a quality sleep each night. Normalise sleeping enough. So prioritize sleep by establishing a consistent sleep schedule and creating a comfortable sleep environment. Sleep is key if you want to reduce your stress dramatically.
When you prioritize quality sleep, not only will you improve your focus levels but you will also improve your moods. Some people are moody because they do not sleep well enough so they may wake up fresh, vibrant and energetic in the next day. So from today, get quality sleep and your health will thank you for that powerful action.
- Limit screen time
Reduce the time you spend on electronic devices, more especially before bedtime. The blue light from the screens can interfere with your sleep and increase stress. When you decrease your screen time, your stress will decrease and your focus will improve. When your focus is improved, you will tend to perform better. The moment you perform better, the better shall your results be.
- Practice self-compassion
Be kind to yourself and avoid self criticism. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would a friend. Accept that you are doing your best. Have a little bit of compassion on yourself. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Cut yourself some cake. Be good to yourself.

Take a few moments each day and reflect on the things you are grateful for. In other words, count your blessings. Gratitude can shift your focus from stress to the positive areas of your life. The more you are grateful, the more you shall be positive. Positivity gives birth to a very positive life.
