Harvard Medical School psychologist Sharon Melnick wrote a book based on the results of a ten-year study, . This edition became a bestseller and sold millions of copies worldwide. We have selected six actionable tips from this work on how to get rid of stress at work:
Say no to multitasking
A person who often “jumps” from one task to another during the working day loses work efficiency and concentration.
Get the job done right the first time
In order not to redo your task, try to immediately get all the necessary information about it to the maximum. Ask the manager as many questions as you see fit and get detailed answers to them.
Show your skills immediately
A good employee is distinguished by the fact that from the first second of work he aims at the result.
Don’t let unnecessary things take up your time
Many spend working hours surfing the Internet, updating pages on social networks, checking e-mail, etc. This is due to the fact that the employee is languishing or wants to feel important. So try to meet these needs in a different, more constructive way.
Optimize your email experience
Select for yourself the optimal frequency of time at which you will check for new letters. And don’t keep the email page in active browser tabs.
Schedule business meetings
Do not take part in meetings in which you have the role of “free listener”. If your presence at the meeting is necessary, then find out what exactly your role in the event is. Find out in detail about the issues that will be considered and prepare your report. “Act according to the situation” is not for you.
