You make an excellent point. I make my living teaching workers to better manage their time and workload. High stress levels are a big reason companies hire me but time management issues are only part of the equation. Today’s workplace is inherently stressful with heavy workloads, long hours and micromanaging cultures. Employers aren’t likely to lighten up so much of the solution lies mainly with the worker. Your bullet points are all about changing the things we can control. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, it is very easy to stop eating healthily when we feel stressed out. It’s easy to get in the habit of eating greasy and sugary foods.
