Take breaks

Stress is infectious. If you get stressed out, you'll pass it on to someone else.

(Stress is like pass the parcel. Which is a pretty stressful game in itself. Especially if you work in MI5 security.)

So if you can avoid getting stressed out, you stop the vicious circle starting.

And the best way to do this is to take breaks.

You know all those books in the self-help section called things like 'Don't Sweat the Chicken Soup'?

We're gonna save you time and money now. They all tell you to - stop, take a deep breath, count to ten. Most times, you'll realise that the problem you're facing is something you've faced before or something that isn't gonna kill you this time.

Now you can bypass the self-help section completely.

FYI: The average British lunch 'hour' is now just 27 minutes.
