It is a good idea for reduction in stress is to be organized. It is better to approach your task in an orderly prioritized manner. After your prioritization you can determine if any task can be delegated to other participants on the team. Timelines can be drawn to better adjust to the expected outcome dates.

We all have our own ways of reducing stress. Remember to have the balance in life of exercise, health, academic and spiritual living. This in balance will always help us deal with challenges. Your own intrinsic motivation to make a job fun is the formula for not seeing challenges as work but as motivators.
