Hey Anne, I’ve been feeling really stressed lately with deadlines piling up.

I hear you. Have you tried breaking tasks into smaller steps?

Liz

Not consistently. I usually jump from one big task to another.

Start by listing priorities. Then set short, focused blocks of work.

That might help. I also get overwhelmed by emails.

Try a 15-minute inbox pause in the morning and after lunch.

Okay. What about taking breaks? I feel guilty when I pause.

Short, deliberate breaks actually boost productivity and reduce stress.

Got it. I'll schedule two 5-minute breaks and an end-of-day wrap-up.

Great plan. Also, breathe deeply when it spikes—inhale 4, hold, exhale 6.
