Top three ways to reduce stress at work

11 Oct 2011 3:26 PM | Katharine C. Giovanni, CCS (Administrator)

Turn your email off.

Check your email when it fits your schedule and not the other way around. Read it at your own pace rather than the minute it arrives in your in-box.

Use your voice mail.

Let your voice mail answer the phone for a while. You can return the call later.  This way you can finish that report your working on! 

Take one thing at a time, one day at a time.

When you start to feel overwhelmed, try taking one thing at a time. Make a list of things you need to do and put the most urgent one at the top. Once you have completed it, cross it off and move on to the next one. Soon they’ll all be done!  

That’s what I do … I run two companies and one association out of my office so to avoid getting overwhelmed by it all, I do one project at a time. Otherwise I would go nuts!!

Until next time everyone!

    Such a simple post but perfect tips. Scheduling when I read and responded to my emails was a perfect solution for me to corral the ever growing inbox. I also have two email addresses one for all the informational type emails that come through and the other box for clients and regarding immediate project work.
