How To Reduce Work Related Stress

The Mentors

Anxiety has risen as much as 30 percent in the last 4 years, affecting as much as a fifth of the population. While its causes are obviously varied, in this episode we decided to tackle work related stress and anxiety.

The episode is split up into three sections, with examples throughout:

Finding Focus and Prioritizing, where we discuss how to take control of your schedule by focusing on one thing at a time, and one main goal per day. We also talk about checking things off of your to-do list, and how doing the things you're least comfortable with first can have a huge impact on reducing stress and improving your productivity.

Removing Sources of Anxiety, where we touch on the importance of taking the time to walk away from all sources of inputs and simply reflecting. We also talk about how restructuring the use of social media an email can help reduce a lot of latent stress.

And lastly:

Getting help, possibly the most important step. You're never alone in your struggles, and simply speaking with significant others, friends, therapists, and even strangers can make you feel better. We also suggest a buddy system for those of us that do a lot of solo work to help you get out of your own head.

Happy Listening.
