On The Job

DECEMBER 8, 2011

Here's a story I did for Gannett/USAToday on getting a better handle on holiday stress: Before the recession hit, work during the holiday season often slowed down a bit. Workers are forever being reminded of how lucky they are to have a job, and stress is growing. Remove yourself from surroundings that are getting you down.

Money might be the number one cause of stress but that factor is closely associated with the lack of work. Work has been a part of human’s life and so is stress. For as long as there is work, there is going to be stress intertwined with it. Mastering the art of stress-free productivity requires it (emphasis mine).

What about the guy in the cubicle next to yours refusing to take off his headphones so you can ask him a question? I tend to carry stress in my chest, and that makes my back tense.

The best way to deal with stressful situations like this is to stop, take a breath and relax for a few minutes. Just getting out the tension will release any anxiety and stress you may have. This happens to me quite often, since I help about 30 people, including 6 managers. Exercise can do wonders.

I want to implement a manual so that it might make things easier and more consistent for all of the assistants in the town. My response to this is: Wow, you are doing the work of 3 people? Ok, I had to squeeze that in. that everyone can follow.

If you share a cubicle wall, inquire about switching desk locations. Anxiety, depression and stress can all influence the way you feel about your environment and how you react to others. Email this to a friend? Separate Yourself. If you just can’t handle it, remove yourself from this person’s presence as much as possible.

Another point I would like to stress is to archive your e-mails for a certain period of time that either you or your company feels would be appropriate. You never know when someone would come back to you and tell you that they didn’t ask you to do a certain task. At least you will have proof of it.

In my particular field (Publishing), it can be very stressful when your boss asks you to fax something right away, since the time difference is substantial at times and you need to figure out how to decipher a fax number. Do you want to fax some documents to a client, but not sure if the fax number you are dialing will be correct?

No vacation is worth the amount of stress I feel." With many workers assuming the jobs of those who have been laid off in the last year because of the recession, finding time for themselves has been tough as they’ve worked longer hours, often staying connected via technology even when they leave their cubicle. Really worth it.

If you have an open-door policy, place your back to the entrance, or face away from your cubicle entry to indicate your unavailability. Work on difficult jobs first, or at a time when you’re at peak performance, saving the less stressful tasks for when you have less energy. Keep the office door closed.
