I frequently have stressful moments at work. Generally when systems that I am responsible for fail or I get tasked to do things that just don't work out or I have to deal with conflicts with other people.
I suppose over a typical work month that maybe accounts for 5% of my working time. A small percentage anyway.
The other 95% is stuff that I'm generally happy to get on with although can be a bit dull sometimes.
Sometimes I do just think about chucking it all in just to get away from that 5% though. It doesn't take up a huge amount of time but it pollutes everything else. I worry about stuff in bed at night. I develop ulcers.
Does anyone having coping strategies for that? Some kind of psychological trick? Can you deal with stuff and then just switch off and not let it affect anything else?
