The Best Methods To Reduce Stress

Break Down Tasks Further

In many cases, stress occurs because you feel overwhelmed. You may feel as though you don't know how to get from point A to point Z. One example would be looking at a messy room that needs a lot of cleaning. When you think about the total mess, you may become totally stressed out because you don't know how to approach the magnitude. This is when it's helpful to break down tasks further. Sit down with a pad of paper or a blank online document. Write down the task or tasks you need to complete and then break them into smaller, more easily-accomplished chunks. This gives you a step-by-step plan for how to complete the task. It also keeps you from being overwhelmed because you can do the project bit by bit in manageable pieces, rather than trying to tackle it all at once. In addition, you'll get a sense of satisfaction when crossing items off the to-do list. It helps you appreciate the amount of work you've done, instead of being stressed over how much is left to do.
