Organizing your Work The way your work is organized can affect your health and well-being. Try the following techniques to make your workday less stressful: Plan ahead and set realistic expectations about what you can accomplish during the day.  Vary your workload by adding diversity to your office routine. For example, deliver a message in person instead of making a phone call.  Avoid long periods of repetitive activity. Try to alternate computer work with other tasks, such as attending meetings, making phone calls, filing, etc.  Arrange your workplace so you have easy access to all the supplies you use most frequently.  Take short breaks every once in a while; it will help you re-energize and relax.
