1. Never set an unrealistic target

Your imagination runs riot while setting your target. You feel you can do just about everything to achieve whatever you dream about.

But when you do your work, your unrealistic target looms like a devil before you. You feel it impossible to cope with the helplessness you experience when you realize that your target is well beyond your intelligence.

So, be kind to yourself.

Have a reasonable target within your capacity and work hard to achieve it. After achieving it, set your aim a wee bit higher and work towards it. This is the perfect way to relieve your work related stress.

You are too concentrated on the work of others. You are over awed by the competence some of your colleagues display. You feel you are not as good as they are.

You have your own level of competence. Keep on improvising your work. Your proficiency will definitely improve.

But, never keep comparing your work. Your work will stagnate.
