Manage expectations

If your targets for the day are overly ambitious, you’re just going to find yourself scrambling to get things done which makes you feel more frustrated. Instead, make sure to set realistic targets and don’t forget to reward yourself after small successes. Importantly, remember to leave some room for unexpected events. This extra room for the unforeseen will make you feel at ease during your day. 

Curate your media

Your time is valuable and every source out there is trying to capture your attention. With so much information, it is really easy to feel overwhelmed. To fix this, choose just a few outlets that you enjoy and that inform you consistently.

Curate your friends

One usually feels some stress when you have too many commitments to handle, this doesn’t just include work but also friendships. If you feel overwhelmed, make sure to give yourself more time and spend it with the people you consider to be the most meaningful. 

Take a step back

Make sure you are giving yourself enough time to step back to reflect on your daily events and take in what you have learned. Writing down your thoughts will help you sort through the things that are floating in your mind.
