For Jobs in Business Support Roles
The section of this response that discusses techniques to help you maintain intense attention on work-related tasks. This is especially important for support roles when the success of other teams and departments depends on you. While stress is inevitable, you can take precautions to keep unneeded stress from developing, as further discussed in this response.
Example:
Making sure I am in the right frame of mind for any event is one of my primary coping mechanisms for stress. I accomplish this by controlling my diet and cutting back on my coffee usage. I maintain my physical health by frequent exercise, and I follow a peaceful morning routine to ensure that I am mentally clear and able to pay close attention to my job obligations.
In any business, stress is inevitable, but one of the things I try to do is to reduce unneeded stress. I accomplish this by moving through a prioritized list, starting with the chores that are most urgent. I also make sure I have a strategy for the days, weeks, and months ahead so that I can anticipate any future needs or increased task demands and be prepared to act accordingly.
