3. Get organized
Reducing last-minute scrambling in your life is another highly effective way to lower your stress levels. Organizing your life can be extremely empowering. It may even help you view situations that you once would have viewed as stressful as exciting instead.
Organize your home by clearing out clutter. Organize your time with time management skills like time blocking or an automated schedule.
4. Focus on one task at a time
According to David Meyer, PhD, a professor of psychology, cognition, and perception at the University of Michigan, stopping multitasking significantly reduces stress levels.
You may think you can multitask effectively. But the reality is that dividing your attention among many tasks at the same time can leave you disoriented and unable to focus on any one task properly.
Results may include poor productivity, overlooked responsibilities, and a general feeling of mental exhaustion. Focus on completing one task at a time and use the Pareto principle. You will be better able to plan and schedule your time and keep your work at a consistent quality.
