Stress solutions and resolutions. In this video I want to talk to you a bit about stress. I want to tell you what the main reasons why we are stressed are and also show you some easily appliable applicable techniques that you can use to get rid of stress. From what I've gathered from the surveys. The three major stressful situations are one, the stress of postponement that appears when we postpone important and more difficult tasks, to the stress of lack of information that appears when we have to do a task that we perceive to be too difficult, or that we don't know how to begin working on three, the stress of the imminent deadline that appears when other emergency tasks must be done in parallel. I've been told three situations the last one happened just last week.
I have two jobs. One is full time and the other one I work whenever it is needed while one day Something serious and urgent happened. The email server broke down and I had to fix it. The funny thing is that I had asked for a new server a week before, because I had noticed the first sign of problems, but there were no funds. Now that it broke down, we had the new one a better one, only two days later, problems appeared one after the other, the system could not be installed on the new server. So I tried installing a different one.
The data could not be recovered because the new system was different. So I had to configure it from scratch. And all of this while answering phone calls from people who kept asking when will it be done. It was then that I truly appreciated all the time management, stress management books I had to write and the fact that I had practiced everything I had learned throughout the years. I worked on this every morning before my eight hour job and then again in the evening when I returned home. At the same time I had to keep up with my other activities, sports and trainings.
Ideally in record time, and most importantly, I didn't get any white hairs while on it. I experienced all three types of stress during that time and use the following coping techniques. One, how to fight against the stress of postponement. The stress of postponement appears when we have something to do, but we can do it for various reasons. There will be an entire module dedicated to smaller and unimportant tasks, how to rephrase them so that you're motivated to act, how to divide them into something clear and doable, but until then, I recommend the following two methods. The first one is to set the exact date on which to do that task.
You don't have to do it today. But you should know that it has to be done by the 23rd. For example, if at first you feel that your stress level is reduced, if you keep doing tasks on the date that you program down, you'll be more confident then You can keep doing this and suddenly a postponed task becomes actually a programmed one, so there is no more stress. The second technique is to rephrase the task. Instead of writing something abstract, like write my graduation paper, write only the first thing that you want to do something that you can finish in 30 minutes. For example, right at the table of contents for my graduation paper.
Suddenly, an abstract task becomes clear, something difficult and vague becomes easy and concise. If you work on concise tasks, that can be finished in a certain amount of time, you will no longer be tempted to postpone them to how to fight against the stress of lack of information. In life. We sometimes find ourselves involved in projects we know nothing about. They have so many unknown details that we are not that eager to start working on them. So we postpone them, but while postponing them We constantly think of them.
You will never be able to finish your tasks if you don't actually get started. If we don't start working, our brains will change their status to do not disturb. Once you start working on a task, you realize that even though getting it done is difficult, you can still make small steps towards your objective. It's a bit harder but not impossible. If you can ask a person who is an expert in that specific field, don't be afraid to ask for help. At the same time, you can apply the rephrasing technique, rephrase the task that you have to do into something doable and clear.
Something that can be done in 30 minutes. Three, how to fight against the stress of the imminent deadline. At work, you can very easily pass responsibilities on to someone else. When you have to choose between two projects that you have to have ready by the next day and you know, you will only be able to work on one make your boss choose Tell him or her that you want to do a good job. So instead of presenting to poorly done projects, ask him to tell you which one to focus on first, and you will work on the other one afterwards. Passing responsibilities works very well when you're working for someone else.
But what happens when it's you who has to make the decision. In this case, there are two methods you can use. One is to pass the responsibility on to yourself, which means that you make the decision you could have made if you are your own boss, choose one task to focus on and work on the others afterwards. I recommend you watch the video called the pyramid technique widow which will be posted in the following modules and which will teach you how to prioritize two equally important and urgent tasks. Until then, please write to tell me about the situation in which you were very stressed. And tell me if you think that if you had applied one of these methods, If it would that helped you in some way
