Your Stress Style is...

The Driven Doer

You get things done, and stress often shows up as never being finished. Your strength is follow-through. The work is letting "enough" count.

5 small practices to try this week 
1.

Choose a set number of tasks this week to call "done enough," and notice what happens to your stress.

2.

End each workday with a hard stop. Write down tomorrow's top three, then close the laptop.

3.

Take five minutes away from the screen between big tasks before starting the next one.

4

Keep a "done" list next to your to-do list, so finished work counts too.

5.

Schedule one unproductive hour this week. No goal, no outcome, just time.

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.
