I find that handling work stress at the start of the week is crucial for setting a productive tone. I have a few strategies that I regularly employ. First, I prioritize my workload by creating a to-do list on Sunday evening, which allows me to organize my tasks for the week. This helps me begin the week with a clear plan in mind. I make sure to allocate some time on Monday mornings for a brief team meeting or check-in. This enables us to align our goals and expectations, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
@stpe nice find. The internet is going to be a bit more annoying to navigate for a while. Is it obvious what the purpose of spamming a thread like this would be? Earn badges for popular discussions?
@stpe yeah, that makes sense. That is verifiably happening on github to bolster star counts, which similarly can have a material impact on people’s companies and lives. I’d be interested in teaming up to try to figure out a generalized approach to mitigate this, though I don’t have time. :)

I make a to do list as I go through my days. On friday, take a look at my planner and include a task if I have to. So it's easier to start my week.
@fabianacm to-do lists seem to rule this discussion!!
Report
@tanya_p Yes! Here, the trick is distribute each to-do into your planner so it helps visualize your days, weeks, months... But sometimes things happens like your computer breaks.
@fabianacm yep, I guess it helps to plan, but you must be prepared for expected things!

I find that the start of the week can sometimes be challenging, but I've developed a few strategies to help me handle work stress effectively. First, I prioritize my tasks by creating a to-do list for the week on Sunday evening. This helps me set clear goals and stay organized.
Breaking down big goals into small milestones and getting to mindset that whatever I am doing now will yield results in the future, so I better be trying, testing out things, succeeding, failing, trying again. It will pay off in the future!

Do not rest at the weekend, balance the rest and work for every day, not for week
I've noticed that as soon as I stop taking walks in nature, my stress level spikes tremendously.
Also, I try my best to think about only one task at hand, and I can't move any faster if I do everything at once.
I used to have a problem with falling asleep because I kept thinking about all the tasks I have to do. So, I've now learned to be in the present moment if I sleep, not thinking about the past or future. It used to take 1.5 hours to fall asleep. Now, I usually fall asleep within 20 minutes or less.
And of course, if I sleep well, I'm not so stressed :)
@helen_kaljusaar great suggestions Helen! I too find walks in nature quite calming

I personally use a tool like Todoist to keep track of daily tasks and avoid being overwhelmed. This way I have visibility over what are the priorities of each day and minimize stress

Well, I basically simply freak out and go crazy like any normal person would.
