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?

Comment by Ian McKenzie on May 30, 2007 @ 1:13 pm I’ve had similar experiences after trips; I travel to customer sites and while I’m onsite, I can’t typically keep up with the things I usually do when I’m in the office, so I find myself going through a similar process.

For example, if an employee reduces their work hours, they may not be willing or interested in taking a position or promotion that requires extended travel. If flexibility and empathy are given to the employee by the employer – then stress related absence could be reduced for a start. The employee will give more.

  Consider proper storage needs as well as ergonomic needs.    It is OK to take a walk or participate in another activity to relieve stress.  .  Spaces that are identified for the business should not hold toys, unless you run a daycare, or other personal distractions.    Balance is the key.
