How to Deal with Stress in the Workplace

Stress is inevitable in the workplace - and it’s also a perfectly normal and unavoidable part of life. In saying that, there are now ways that technology can be used to help professionals overcome stressful situations and keep you focused on the task at hand.

• Embrace Flexibility
• Streamline Billing
• Take a Break

So - whether you’re working with a smart automation platform or not, here are three quick tips that will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed the future:

Embrace Flexibility

Life is fluid, so your project plan should be too. When you approach it top-down with a strict plan and timeline, you’re not allowing for any unexpected change (which is more than likely going to happen on any big project).

Use smart technology to create a more flexible project pipeline that doesn’t require a fixed deadline. That way, you can easily make adjustments to your project as the vision or needs of a client change.

Streamline Billing

Stressful situations are always heightened when there is money involved - so it’s important to stay on top of your invoices with a fast-tracked billing cycle. Implement a smart platform that offers Bulk Invoicing - which is ideal for when you have a lot of clients to bill (for a lot of work) at the end of the month.

Easily filter and search through all of your contacts, and all of the work done for them, to find the specific types of work you want to invoice for. Then use the Bulk Invoicing feature to quickly create and send invoices to all of your clients in an instant.

Take a Break!

No matter what your deadline is, try to take a break to refuel and refresh! Studies have shown that four in five office workers opt to stay at their desk to have lunch - which is actually doing more harm than good. While you might think that leaving the office is preventing you from reaching a deadline, it’s actually doing the complete opposite by stunting your creativity. Something as simple as a quick conversation with a colleague or watching a 10-minute video online is enough to increase productivity. So go on, take a break, and never underestimate the value in it.
