There is an article today on Accounting Web today about stress and accountants, with some statistics and other bits.
At the bottom of the article are some suggestions for relieving stress. Not sure that they are all that helpful, such as number 4: Sleep Well. Either they sleep well enough or they cannot sleep in which case telling them to sleep well is not exactly going to help.
More practical ideas for dealing with stress?
How about getting to the cause of the stress, such as giving problem clients an ultimatum or just suggesting they move on to new pastures if it is not worth your while?
If you are overloaded by your boss then speak to them, if you are an accountant you are a professional and should be able to make the case for change.
Practising breathing (number 5) or improving your posture (number 6) are not going to have much affect if you are over working because you are under charging or are just badly organised.
Right, off to finish the 30 jobs on my list before the weekend…
