Conduct a Workday Stress Audit

Small stressors can add up. Regularly assess your workday to identify stressors and define solutions to manage them.

1. Start by gaining awareness of stressors. Identify what your stressors are.

• excessive workloads, tight deadlines, lack of resources
• poor time management behaviors
• physical influences such as noises, and desk clutter
   

2. Now, find solutions to mitigate their impact.

• If excessive workload, tight deadlines or a lack of resources are stress factors, talk with your supervisor to help resolve the issues or consider delegating work.
• Physical influences - Noise? Try headphones. Clutter? – Organize your workplace.

These stressors might seem minor on their own, but when experienced repeatedly, they can impact overall well-being and productivity. By efficiently managing stress with this strategy, you will experience an improved well-being and a satisfaction at work.
