stress... stress..stress?

hi colleagues...
Work sometimes can be stressful especially when the deadline is around the corner.. for example now we have papers to be printed, exams, papers to be marked, semakan kehadiran and also pmis to key in. Dont worry, here are some tips to reduce stress during this exam week!

Reducing Stress at Work

Step1
Clean up. Throw away old memos and outdated messages. Go through everything in your area and get rid of everything that you no longer need.

Step2
Organize your work space. Having a cluttered desk or work area adds to your stress level. By organizing your space, it will help you work more efficiently.

Step3
Catch up on your work. By catching yourself up, you will no longer have deadlines hanging over your head. By avoiding procrastination, you will find that you are also avoiding added stress.
Step4
Prioritize your work. Determine what needs to be done first and what can wait a bit. If you have a deadline that is stressing you out, get that job done. It will give you a sense of accomplishment and rev you up to tackle other pressing jobs.

Step5
Communicate with co-workers and supervisors. Let them know if you have a situation that is stressing you out. Don't hold it in until you're ready to explode. You will often find that others are more than willing to lend a helping hand, if possible.

Step6
Walk away for a bit. If possible, sometimes all you need is a few minutes away from your work area. Use this time to relax and regroup. Once you've had a short break, you may feel more refreshed and ready to work more efficiently.

Step7
Get enough sleep at night. If you are sleep-deprived going into your job, you're setting yourself up for a stressful day. Make sure you get the required amount of sleep your body needs.
