Here’s a breakdown:
Time management
Time blocking: Blocking out time in
your diary for individual tasks can
improve your focus and help you
manage your time better.
Task prioritisation: Writing to-do lists
and ranking tasks from highest to
lowest priority can help you see
what’s most urgent and what can
wait. This can give you a greater
sense of control over your workload.
Identifying your stress triggers: Take
note of what causes stress in your
daily work schedule. When you know
your triggers, you can understand
the root cause of your symptoms.
When a trigger occurs, you can
practise mindfulness, take a microbreak, and talk to your manager or
Converge about it for better support.
Healthy boundaries
Disconnecting from work: To achieve
a positive work-life balance, you
need to switch off. Set your work
hours (even if they sit outside the
typical 9 to 5), reduce notifications,
avoid checking emails outside those
hours and protect your personal
time.
Using the support available to you:
You can speak confidentially with a
qualified professional about your
stress triggers, get support early and
learn ways to manage stress better.
You can also use our digital
wellbeing tools to monitor your
stress, access coping strategies and
seek support sooner.
Daily relaxation
Take micro-breaks: Stepping away
from your screen or worksite for a
few moments can help with focus,
engagement and productivity. Try
stepping away for five minutes to
decompress, breathe deeply and
practise a brief mindfulness exercise.
This is especially helpful when you
encounter a stress trigger.
Look after your physical health:
Maintaining your energy through a
nutritious diet, a good sleep routine,
hydration and exercise can help
reduce stress. Feeling physically
energised can also help with mental
clarity. Regular exercise is one of the
best things you can do, and if your
workplace runs a Converge Move
Challenge, it’s a great way to get
started.
