"I try to be proactive in my strategies to manage stress. I use an online calendar to keep track of appointments and deadlines and I schedule time for paperwork and reports so that I can make the most of my day while I'm at work. I really try to limit the amount of work I bring home. I also commit to daily exercise to clear my mind and stay healthy. When I do feel stressed, I try to do some breathing exercises and carefully manage my time to ensure I work diligently, meeting deadlines to the best of my ability."
