Before even applying for a new position with YouTube, it is important to understand that the work there is in a very fast-paced environment. This fast pace can come with a great deal of stress, and your interviewer is asking this question to ensure that you can handle the on-the-job stress that comes with this role with ease. Prior to your interview, be sure to carefully read through the job description, so you are aware of the potential stressors in this job. Then as you answer, talk about the tools and resources that you would lean on to help navigate the stresses in this work environment.

"I have developed a few modules 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 start the workday. I think it's important to draw this line for others to respect my time. I also dedicate no more than two hours at a time to deep project work. Deep work is any activity that needs to be performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that pushes 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."
