TO ADDRESS
STRESS
Let yourself ask questions, and communicate
with co-workers.
Do unpleasant tasks in the morning to get them
over with.
Simplify things whenever possible. Look at large,
overwhelming projects as a series of steps you
complete one at a time.
Let yourself laugh, especially when you feel
grumpiest.
Live in the present—don’t spend time worrying
about how much better things were in the past or
what might happens in the future. Most people
who are able to manage stress have perfected
the art of living in the now.

including having a Plan B.
