Why do some office executives-especially overworked businessman grow prematurely old and die young? How can they avoid worry, stress, high blood pressure, and eventual stroke or heart attack?
Here are a few practical tips which culled not from the musings of a rocking chair philosopher but straight from the firing line of day-to-day office experience.
1. Follow a healthful lifestyle.
Prepare for the day by following the healthful regimen of a sensible lifestyle. Get a good night's rest. Don't borrow from your much-needed sleeping time by watching the late, late show till past midnight. Or worse yet, dissipate your precious strength in a drinking spree with the boys till the wee hours of the morning.
2. Don't procrastinate.
Never allow your work to pile up. Loosen your necktie, roll up your sleeves, and tackle the jobs one by one as they came up.
Resist the slightest temptation to procrastinate, read the reports immediately. Call that long overdue committee meeting right away. Send the circulars today. Answer the letters now. Use your dictaphone liberally for faster results.
3. Clear your desk and mind.
Clear your desk of all debris. Some desk fairly groan under the load of a mountain of junk-financial statements, receipts, vouchers, checks, budgets, feasibility studies, committee agendas and minutes, board actions, books, magazines, house organs, letters, newspaper, clippings, job orders, directories, article manuscripts, pictures, memos, appointment slips, plane tickets, incoming and outgoing trays, flower vase with wilted flowers, pencils, pens, clips, rubber bands, paperweights, a drinking glass, a lunch box, a marble nameplate, a telephone, folders, letterheads. A cluttered desk tends to create a cluttered mind.
4. Take "Mini Vacations" through the day.
Take a short nap during the noon break. You may not have been born south of the border, but a few minutes of siesta tend to give you another new day as it were. And you can also take a mini vacation every few hours' intervals by simply sitting on your swivel chair. Instead of the traditional coffee break, for a change, why not try reading a bit of inspirational poetry or a Bible verse? This excellent tonic for your mental health.
