"I have developed a few techniques and philosophies around stress management myself, the principles of which are ones that are deeply rooted in my personal and professional experience. The first principle for me is the eight-hour workday. As much as possible, I delay any tasks or activities that pop up outside of normal work hours until I actually start the workday. I think it's important to draw this line for others to respect my personal time. I also dedicate no more than two hours at a time to deep project work. Deep work is any activities that need to be performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limits. The other key to maintaining a stress-free work environment is being on task and organized. I utilize many tools to help keep me on track and organized and these tools include a detailed work calendar and project list with deadlines and milestones clearly outlined."
