Be careful what you say in stressful situations. I work in a call center and sometimes the stress of the job alone is enough to keep you on the edge. Speak up : Greet you co-workers as you meet them through the day. Take an interest in others. Demonstrate a caring attitude. Make others feel they important to you.

If you have an open-door policy, place your back to the entrance, or face away from your cubicle entry to indicate your unavailability. Work on difficult jobs first, or at a time when you’re at peak performance, saving the less stressful tasks for when you have less energy. Keep the office door closed.

Emotional blocks – boredom, daydreaming, stress, guilt, anger and frustration reduce concentration. When you enjoy what you are doing, it reduces stress. When stress is reduced, you work more efficiently. Switching and floundering – lack of concentration and focus on one job. Use priority lists to focus attention.

Don’t let the stresses of life control you. If you’re not eating properly, or your muscles are tight from too much time in one position, or your stress level is rising, your productivity will decrease. Take a 10 minute nap or a short walk to relieve stress. You need to take control of your life. Take a break.

However, many people run around stressed because they’re saying yes to everybody but themselves. Even if we can use this word with our spouse and children, we still have a hard time saying it to other people. It’s important to learn how and when to say no. I’m not saying that you should be selfish and never help anybody out.

Here’s a tip: make a 48-hour waiting period the standard policy in your business for all incoming requests. The bonus of a 48-hour policy is that your schedule is smoothly planned out in a way that lets you pay attention to all your clients so that each person gets the best of you. No more dropping work to put out fires.
