When facing a stressful situation, writing about it will often help you reframe it to a more positive light. If I’m traveling, I take my notebook with me. If you’re worried about it falling into the wrong hands, take extra precautions to password protect your files or take your journal home rather than keeping it at your desk.

The stress of work is hard to shake, and a long walk home gets it out of your system better than a 5-foot walk to the couch. I even filed a complicated story to an editor. I’m on an airplane, because it’s safe to travel again, and I thought I’d enjoy that. The walk prepares me. But it’s the walk back that salvages my evening.

The two big benefits that are usually pointed out are cost savings and accessing needed files, etc. Moving is stressful. I knew that other than a couple of travel or packing days, it would remain business as usual for my clients.

I'll read and delete and save those of interest in a file. What remains in your in-box is actionable items, not filing. File the e-mail, either in a folder or saved as a document. -

If you feel your stress rising, it's a good bet that you're approaching capacity in some way or another. But what I found over time was that both when filing something new, or looking for something already filed, the folders no longer made top-of-mind sense to me. Find your capacity in your work and stay far away from it.
