1. Start it Right

Contrary to the normal belief, stress doesn’t start when you reach the office. Rather it starts when you wake up in the morning and think of everything you have to perform before reaching the office and all sorts of deadlines and pending tasks. This is not a productive way to start the day.

You must plan the activities and assign them ample time. Get up in the morning before time and focus only on the task at hand. Make a healthy breakfast, feed your children well, drop them school, and try to reach the office a few minutes before starting time. Never let things slip out of your hands at the very beginning of the day. When you have started a good day with a healthy meal and completed all of your responsibilities with a positive attitude, now the work stress will not suck your energy, and you will be able to perform far better than the days before.
