"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. As a leader, I'm a strong advocate for work-life balance. I always remind my subordinates that they work to live, and not the other way around. The first principle for me is the eight-hour workday. As much as possible, I delay any tasks or activities that prop 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 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. Then, I take 15-minute breaks throughout the day and avoid back-to-back meetings. When stress does start brimming, I take a pause, stand up and walk around the office, preferably where there's not a lot of people. I'm also religious about taking vacations. Finally, I ensure that I get uninterrupted sleep for at least six hours most nights, which I advise my colleagues to do. "
