Stress Management

Take the classic case of two imaginary employees, Henry and Simon, in any modern workplace having similar workloads. But, Henry always carries all his pending work home, while Simon does not. And Henry is always stressed and exhausted, while Simon appears relaxed and energetic. What was Simon’s secret? It is very simple. Simon has a hobby of growing exotic plants in his lovely flower garden when he goes home. But Henry had no hobby. Instead, he carried all pending office work home every day. By being obsessed with office work along with bad time management and poor work-life balance, Henry would get into frequent arguments with family members. So he was spreading stress and hostility to his family members.
