I guess that the majority of us here experiences a lot of stress and a high workload. I would love to know some of YOUR tips for managing these aspects that simply are a natural part of our journeys.
Here I am sharing some of mine:
- get enough sleep, for me it is min 6 hours. More than 2 days on less than 6 hours and I am more prone to stress, anxiety and bad mood.
- coffee is a good servant, but bad master. Careful with how many cups you get. Caffeine can actually worsen your anxiety. I try to stick to 2, max 3 strong ones a day.
- good team around you saves you a lot of time and a nerves. Many times your first hire, contractor or supplier isn't the most optimal one. I was always scared to end the cooperation. Am I gonna find someone to substitute them? YES! You always will! If it doesn't work, it is always better for both of you to part ways.
- tomorrow is also a day. Some tasks are just not worth the 3am session and sacrificing on sleep.
- A question that I try to ask myself when busy: Am I actually busy or am I just bad at time-management/prioritising?

The amount of times I forget “tomorrow is also a day” 😂 your tips serve as a great reminder.
I think also stepping outside “go touch grass” as some might say. This helps me a lot.
Just taking a break getting fresh air, change of environment, maybe some sunlight or moonlight (depending on the time of day lol) and a little walk can really do wonders for the mind and soul! 🌿☀️

- Don't stretch yourself thin, prioritize the quality of your productivity over the quantity of your activities.
- Exercise regularly, get your blood pumping and take enough fresh air while you're at it (if possible)
- Maintain proper sleep hygiene. Go to bed and wake up at the exact same times every day.
- Incorporate play into your work day. Spending time on play gives us mental clarity and energy.
- Apply reason and common sense to what you're doing.

For me the key is to be good at prioritising:
- start-up work is never ending
- do what is the most important today leave the rest for tomorrow
- repeat
@fabian_maume "Start-up work is never ending" -> I can't agree more on that. There is ALWAYS stuff to do. Prioritising is definitely the key to stay sane :)
As for me, the best relaxation is various physical activities (biking, running, swimming, etc.).
Thanks for sharing
Managing stress and a high workload can be challenging, Matej. Your tips are valuable, and I'd like to add a few more suggestions: Prioritize tasks by importance and urgency to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Engage in regular physical activity, as exercise can reduce stress and boost mental health.
