Stress Relief Tool – Weekly Reflection

A simple technique can help you be more efficient with work and provide you with stress relief.

Weekly reflection is a powerful tool for improvement. Use the weekend to contemplate the larger forces that are shaping your industry, your organization, and your job. Without the distractions of Monday to Friday busy work, you should be able to see things in a whole new light.

Use this insight to alter your approach to the coming week, improving the efficiency and efficacy of your work.1

Each weekend block out 15-30 minutes on your calendar where you have some quiet time to reflect on your week ahead. Are there any insights you have that can help improve your performance and/or reduce potential stress? If so, note them down and review them again before you arrive at work

This process gives you a sense of control and thus decreases your stress level.
