While some workplace stress is normal, excessive stress can interfere with your productivity and impact your physical and emotional health. And your ability to deal with it can mean the difference between success or failure. You can’t control everything in your work environment, but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless—even when you’re stuck in a difficult situation. Finding ways to manage workplace stress isn’t about making huge changes or rethinking career ambitions, but rather about focusing on the one thing that’s always within your control: you.

When people feel overwhelmed, they lose confidence and become irritable or withdrawn, making them less productive and effective and their work less rewarding. If the warning signs of work stress go unattended, they can lead to bigger problems. Beyond interfering with job performance and satisfaction, chronic or intense stress can also lead to physical and emotional health problems.

Robin Gurien"Reducing job stress by prioritizing and organizing
When job and workplace stress surrounds you, you can’t ignore it, but there
are simple steps you can take to regain control over yourself and the situation.
Your growing sense of self-control will also be perceived by others as the
strength it is, leading to better relationships at work. Here are some
suggestions for reducing job stress by prioritizing and organizing your
responsibilities.
Time management tips for reducing job stress
Create a balanced schedule.
Analyze your schedule,
responsibilities, and daily tasks. All work and no play is a recipe for burnout.
Try to find a balance between work and family life, social activities and
solitary pursuits, daily responsibilities and downtime.
Don’t over-commit yourself.
Avoid scheduling things
back-to-back or trying to fit too much into one day. All too often, we
underestimate how long things will take. If you've got too much on your plate,
distinguish between the "shoulds" and the "musts." Drop tasks that aren't truly
necessary to the bottom of the list or eliminate them entirely.
Try to leave earlier in the morning.
Even 10-15 minutes can
make the difference between frantically rushing to your desk and having time to
ease into your day. Don’t add to your stress levels by running late.
Plan regular breaks
. Make sure to take short breaks
throughout the day to sit back and clear your mind. Also try to get away from
your desk for lunch. Stepping away from work to briefly relax and recharge will
help you be more, not less, productive.
Task management tips for reducing job stress
Prioritize tasks.
Make a list of tasks you have to do, and
tackle them in order of importance. Do the high-priority items first. If you
have something particularly unpleasant to do, get it over with early. The rest
of your day will be more pleasant as a result.
Break projects into small steps.
If a large project seems
overwhelming, make a step-by-step p-

- Break projects into small steps. If a large project seems overwhelming, make a step-by-step plan. Focus on one manageable step at a time, rather than taking on everything at once.
- Delegate responsibility. You don’t have to do it all yourself, whether at home, school, or on the job. If other people can take care of the task, why not let them? Let go of the desire to control or oversee every little step. You’ll be letting go of unnecessary stress in the process.

Your emotions are contagious, and stress has an impact on the quality of your interactions with others. The better you are at managing your own stress, the more you'll positively affect those around you and the less other people's stress will negatively affect you.
