Work pressure - How to deal with it ?

It sounds like you are taking too much on. Or you might consider working at another place. Try something completely different. Or stay at the place you are now, but ask if you can talk to them maybe you can even cut your hours. I dont know if they will go for that. But it is worth a try if you like it so much.

As far as my experience as a senior officer in the banking industry, I observed number of people working under me were grumbling like this. There may be two factors for this. One either you are not discharging the duty according to plan. Two,your nature of disposing the work is slow. Simply expressing displeasure will not serve the purpose. If your work is really unmanagable, there are ways to put up the things. You can convince the top management by furnishing data, relavant information and the minimum time required for dispose off the matter. Managemnt will certainly realise the magnitude of the work and suggest alternative arrangement to reduce the pressure. I suggest the following tips. 1. Try to allocate the working within the specified time. 2. Seek colleagues assistance to dispose off. 3. Find out 'most urgent','urgent',' less urgent', 'least urgent. Attend in order of preference. 4. First clear off quickly disposal matters. 5. Pass on the files, which can be cleared by your subordinate. 6. Prepare diary, act accordingly. 7. Systamatic and punctual will help you lot.

try not to think about that pressure!

Remind yourself that other people can share responsibility. The worst I ever feel at work is when I think I have to cover my job and make sure everyone else is covering theirs, too. If you feel like something is particularly a high stress issure, break it down in your mind--what is the worst thing that happens if this is not done, or is not done as quickly as you would like? Who can share this job, or responsibility? Make sure you take time for yourself. The trips sound like a great perk.

Just go to your home and play with your kids, try a melody music and cultivate some hobby.

I was an office manager for a few years in a medical clinic for a few years. I know it can be very stressful, and unfortunately you can't help but to bring that home with you because you have no one to vent to at work being the manager. Every night when I got home I would gather my candles go in the bathroom and run a very warm bath with lavander bubble bath turn on the radio softly. Then I would just take all that in forgetting the day. This really helped the mental stress, and physical from being on my feet all day. Good luck and I hope this helps!

I used to be an Area Manager for 8 Years and it was very stressful travelling difficilt Customers and of course my Staff which I will say they where great Training People employing People and what ever came with it I loved it What I used to do is when I got home and sorted the Kids and that I used to pick up a good Book and loose myself in that but I have to say a Managers Job is never done as still at home things where going through my Head and what I had to do and things like that you just have to try and cope

Do yoga,its the best.i've tried it out.it works all the time.you stay relaxed even in the most tensed of situations and feel like taking more pressure.It helps you get a peaceful sleep too.

After intense work pressure began taking a toll on their health, an increased fitness awarness has set in, paving way for mushrooming of dance studios which offer "shake-a-leg-to- stay fit" programmes, say industry insiders.

Think of this... grab some sands in your hand and press hard on it.. is it painful? Well..this is similar to your work pressure. The more you press onto it, the more painful you will get. Try to release it by socializing after work, probably play some sports such as badminton, squash, tennis, etc... I think your work description is very common to any of the department heads, making reports and approvals. So, try to make some fun out of the job and you will be fine.

Maybe this short story will give u some idea how to reduce your stress..... A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it." "If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden." "So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can." "Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!

My job gets stressful too. I try to make time for myself every night to relax and read for at least one hour. And on the weekends, I get up on Saturday, go through the ritual of getting a bath, brushing my teeth, and using the bathroom. Then I smile and go back to bed to sleep for two more hours!

Take it easy and do the urgent things. Do a task list and finish all the tasks you have, dont leave it in the middle. And its not the end of the world as long as you're doing a good job, its ok. Good Luck

just give time to u, cheers with ur frnds and go for outing..

When you leave work...really LEAVE work. Don't take it home with you, don't think about it at home, do what you need to do before you walk out the door. I know it's hard but if you are constantly stressing about work, you won't ever relax. Take some time for yourself, have a bubble bath, read a book, hang out with friends. Take a short vacation maybe. Hope things get better for you soon.

i think u should do yoga and exercises of ramdev... like pranayam,kapalbharti,alom vilom.... yoga has changed my life .....
