The job-hunting experience can be a stressful one: sending out resumes, interviewing, sending out more resumes and interviewing again. But before you begin to feel too comfortable in your little cubicle, are you sure you’re doing everything you can to hang on to that job? It can take weeks, even months, to nail the job you want.

You have to share your secrets with us, if you are not feeling stressed, which I hope you are not. Another option is to create templates in Microsoft Office and either e-mail them to everyone or place them on a network drive for everyone to access. My response to this is: Wow, you are doing the work of 3 people?

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.

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?

Cubicles are officially outdated, but the post-pandemic workplace has become slightly synonymous with stress and anxiety. . Workplace policies have made decades of progress in just a little over two years, so why shouldn’t offices follow suit? . That’s where “office urbanism” comes in. .

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.

I'd like to add one more to the list if I may: Tap into your personal and professional networks for job leads! People who are at work are busy, stressed out, and are unwilling to speak to someone they don't know (and sometimes they're unwilling to speak to someone they do know). For example, ramp up your social networking.

No cold calling, no website or marketing, no business cards or networking events. There is a tranquil minority walking among us who stress less, but live more. They say no to cubicle lunches, four-minute book summaries, “multitasking” (whatever the heck that means) and monochrome, microwave dinners. Their prescription?

Marketing has increased, my time spent creating has increased, my stress levels have decreased significantly. Blogging is the new cubicle (you can’t steal it, I’m already writing it!) So far I’ve noticed a drop in traffic, however I’ve actually got time to get things done now! As a consumer, that bothers me.
