Bogatin Jacob continues talking about stress at work and gives other pieces of advice:

5. Inform the head or employees when you feel, that expectations or standards of an estimation of your task are not clear (uncertainty of roles). Tell them that you are not assured concerning a number of the concrete questions connected with the task a little and would like to have possibility to discuss these questions with them.

6. Discuss feeling of boredom or absence of interest to work with the head. Once again consider, it is not necessary to become in position complaining. Bogatin Jacob thinks that it is necessary to explain, that you are a supporter of work demanding forces and would like to have possibility to take part in other kinds of activity.

7. Find every day time for switching-off and rest. Close a door for at least five minutes every morning, lift and place your feet on something, completely relax and forget about work. Address to pleasant thoughts or images to freshen up your brain. Bogatin Jacob thinks that it will be great if you are able to leave office from time to time to replace conditions or a train of thought.

To other factors connected with fall of probability of stress, Bogatin Jacob includes observance of an appropriate food, maintenance of shape by means of physical exercises and achievement of the general balance in a life concern.

Then describe concrete priority tasks over which now work. If he insists on performance of the new task, ask him to listen to you first and then tell him you should postpone that kind of work before the end of the new task.

3. Adjust especially effective and reliable relations with your chief. Understand his problems and help him to understand yours. Make your chief learn how to respect your priorities, your workload and to give the proved commissions.
