Tips from friends, family, clients and colleagues
"Prioritise things, and make sure the targets you set yourself are small, measurable, achievable, realistic etc."Nick Carpenter - Lecturer
"Garden - it helps to get your hands dirty. Also, having pets is a great way of dealing with stress."
Rhoda Wolfe - Accountant, Norwich Union
"Set yourself small targets each day. For example, if you are writing, and set yourself a goal of doing three pages and only manage two, you will feel as if you've failed. If you aim more realistically to do one page, and just happen to manage two, you'll feel great."
Chris Edwards - Consultant Economist
"I keep a notebook beside my bed so that if I wake up at night and am worrying about something, I can write it down straight away, instead of letting it go round and round in my head. If writing things down doesn't work, I try and reason with myself, for example telling myself that if there is nothing I can do about the thing that's bothering me, then why worry about it?'"
Pippa Thorne - Textile Conservator
