How To Take Action

I would suggest starting to tackle challenges by not keeping them to yourself. Share your struggles with trusted friends, colleagues, or a mentor. This helps you realize you're not alone and can lead to solutions and support.

Preparation is also really important. Like having gum with you if it helps you manage stress. Do small things to be ready for any situation like keeping your phone charged, setting reminders for meetings, and having a plan for your day.

Stress can be tough, so it's a good idea to figure out if it's just a one-time thing or always around. Find ways to relax, such as walking, which is not only good for your mood but also for health and burning calories.

When things get really busy, delegating tasks to others can help a lot. Just make sure you give clear instructions and allow your team some time to learn. Keep an eye on the important stuff yourself to make sure it's done right.

It's also cool to try to make a community at work where everyone helps each other stay positive. Being real and honest as a leader can help bring in great people who want to work hard and do well.

Set up some big goals for your work that everyone knows. This way, you don't have to make lots of rules; people will just know what to do to be successful.

If there's something you don't like to do, see if it's okay to have someone else do it. But be ready for things maybe not being perfect right away. If you can't have things go wrong, you'll need to teach someone really well how to take over for you.

And don't forget to see what makes you and the people you work with really good. When you know what you're good at and what others are good at, you can help each other out more.

Lastly, it's good to stay flexible and adapt when plans change, like if you're traveling or something unexpected comes up. Just roll with it and keep going!
