What sort of things cause you stress? How do you manage it? (Use comments box)
Like many, I have a number of drains on my time (family, work, children, friends and then my own identity) and I find that trying to make it all work well and seamlessly, while trying to continually review why I do what I do, is the challenge.
To make it work as best I can, I look for ways of grouping activities so exercising in the park for short bursts while my children are playing (of course keeping an eye on them), cycling to work, walking in my lunch break, listening to classical music while taking care of finance matters, etc. I also try and automate as much as possible and then spend time reviewing that the details are correct as opposed to repeating processes. For example, making sure that as many financial items as possible are automated through Direct Debits and standing orders or that reminders are delivered to my phone so that I do not have to hold lots of information in my mind at all times.
At times this strategy can become tiresome because it feels like there is no down time, but overall I find it helpful.
