1. Draw new lines around yourself. Sometimes we get caught up in doing things for people when it is not our role or responsibility. Don’t let your boundaries be violated when it comes to tasks and responsibilities that are not yours
2. Prioritize. Sometimes we get immersed in doing a thousand things that may not be necessary or even important while we get this illusion that we are doing a lot of things – even though they might be eating away at your precious time and energy
3. Look into yourself. The subtle reality about prioritizing is that it takes some soul searching and reflecting on what is important to you and your life. It is particularly important to know what you want. Knowing where you would like to end up requires that you spend some serious time exploring what makes you tickabout where you would like to go in life.
4. Cut out time and energy drainers. Knowing what to overlook is a good half of the task of reducing stress. Sometimes we end up doing a great deal of things that may have been energy drainers rather than the important tasks that would have lead to accomplishing your major tasks and duties.
5. Create buffers. Even if you are the best planner, you need buffer time to do nothing. That’s right – doing nothing is harder than you imagine, because societal values tell us we must be busy all the time and doing nothing brings shame and guilt. Rejoice and do nothing.
6. It’s not just what you do, but how you do them. Keep a keen interest in not only reducing your tasks or stressors but your attitude. Be curious about how others accomplish the same task. What secrets do they know?
