The Job Stress Code Working for Me #182

Happy new week, lovely ladies of Hive! Wishing you lots of motivation and good health this week. Responding to @marivic10's questions, it's crucial to address the issue of job stress, especially in a society where most of us are employed rather than owning businesses or managing our career.

The typical Monday to Friday hustle cycle often leads to job stress, which significantly impacts our well-being. This makes us forget our own dreams of been independent to quickly findout what could survive us for the month. Although even people who are boss of thier own career encounter job stress too but thiers is relatively easier to handle than working for a person.

Job stress occurs when you feel exhausted from your employed work but can't quit because you need to provide for yourself. Its is a common experience, stemming from both managerial and personal factors. Poor staff management, overloading employees with tasks, and neglecting to give them time off contribute to job stress on the managerial side. Personally, factors like poor time management, lack of relaxation, exercise, and sleep also play a significant role. While the effects may not be immediately visible, they can become more apparent with age.

When I start feeling headaches, I know I'm dealing with serious stress. While I've gotten better at managing it, I'm also open to trying new strategies.

To avoid job stress, I prioritize three key things:

1. Time management: I make sure to schedule my weekly goals, taking into account what tasks I couldn't complete the previous week and what's coming up in the new week. At my organization, we use a staff schedule list to track our tasks, which has proven really helpful in keeping me organized and focused. When I am not been able to complete my goals for the week, i indicate it inorder to move it over to the coming week.

2. Exercise: I've found that incorporating exercise into my routine helps me stay mentally sharp and physically fit. Sometimes, I choose to walk to work to burn calories and clear my mind. If I happen to miss my regular exercise, I make it a point to walk to work for a few days, especially on Saturday mornings, to make up for it. This ensures that I don't neglect my physical well-being even during busy times.

3. Sleep: is a priority for me because neglecting it leads to headaches, which affect my work. Getting enough sleep helps me feel refreshed after a long day.

Regarding working from home, even though I work in the health sector where interaction is crucial, most of my work involves physical meeting with client. In remote jobs where there are benefits like having time to rest and eat, the lack of interaction with colleagues can be challenging. However, working from home does help in reducing stress levels especially if you are working with personal computer. I want to additionally recommend using a diffusers to reduce rays which comes from the system and can be dangerous for health for remote workers.

I've learned to prioritize my health to avoid stress by scheduling time for activities, exercise, and sleep.

Thanks for reading about how I manage job stress. Wishing you an amazing week ahead!
