This has been a general overview of the very fundamental principles of stress management. However, if the principles are followed, one can find ways to handle stress in a very constructive instead of a destructive manner. The basic principles include realization that there is a problem, that the problem mayor may not have a solution even with effective planning, and understanding the difference between the two. Efficient and effective time planning or management at the workplace or at home is one of the most important methods of stress management. Effective planning probably decreases related stress more than any other single aspect of stress reduction at work.
