What is stress?

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or demotivated, you might like to know why. It is not always clear. You might blame some particular project or thing that has happened in your life, but the underlying cause is much simpler:

STRESS = TOO MUCH STUFF IN YOUR HEAD

Worries, tasks, details that must be remembered – all these cause stress – but only when they are stored in the wrong place: your head. It is extremely hard to remember and organize everything only using your head. You need to use another approach.

How to resolve stress?

It’s simple: Put the stuff from your head somewhere else! For example, you can put it into our task and notes management application “Swift To-Do List”. It has been designed especially to help you get organized easily and quickly. You need to write task lists, take notes, and organize them nicely. Swift To-Do List allows you to use 144 different icons that make organizing fun.

When you move the the stuff out of your head into your computer, you will free your mental resources. You will be able to focus. You will be able to work, and more importantly, enjoy your work again. Do it today.

If your computer can remember it instead of you, it should!

You can learn more about the benefits of writing things down in a previous post “How to upgrade your brain“.

Writing things down also does wonders when you are struggling with procrastination.
