NOT ALL STRESS IS BAD.
IT PUSHES AND MOTIVATES US…
BUT TOO MUCH CAN BURNOUT EVEN
THE BEST EMPLOYEES ON THE PLANET.
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE
EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL
HEALTH OF YOURSELF AND
YOUR EMPLOYEES.

KEEP MINDS FRESH AND MAKE
DAYS A BIT EASIER TO
HANDLE AT YOUR STARTUP.

independent responsibilities

• Arrange outside events
Shift your Mentality
• Change your reactions to
negative stressors
• Look at difficulties as learning
experiences
• Realize you don’t have control
over everything
Say No
• Value your time

negatives of new engagements

opportunities instead of small
• Avoid the unnecessary
Stay Organized
• Save time by implementing an
effective organization system
