1. Prioritize and organize your tasks
A lack of overview is one of the biggest stressors in the workplace. By organizing your tasks, you keep control of your workday.
How do you do that?
- Make a to-do list and rank your tasks by urgency and importance (for example, using the Eisenhower matrix).
- Work on one task at a time instead of multitasking.
- Plan buffer periods in your calendar for unexpected tasks.
Why it works: It gives structure to your day, reduces time pressure and helps you focus better.
2. Take regular breaks
Working nonstop leads to mental exhaustion and increased stress levels. Short breaks are crucial to maintain your energy and productivity.
How do you take effective breaks?
- Step away from your workstation every 90 minutes.
- Take a short walk, stretch, or take a moment to breathe consciously.
- Lunch away from your desk to really relax.
Why it works: Breaks help you reset your brain and lower stress.
3. Create an ergonomic and quiet workplace
Your physical environment has a major impact on your stress level. An ergonomic and tidy workplace can help reduce stress.
How do you improve your workplace?
- Make sure you have an ergonomic office chair and a properly adjusted monitor.
- Keep your workspace organized and minimize distractions.
- Add plants or provide natural light to create a soothing atmosphere.
Why it works: A comfortable and quiet environment reduces physical tension and promotes focus.
