*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
In business, workload issues create a great deal of pressure and distress that can be tiring and straining. However, businesses that have strategic strategies in place for managing workload are much better placed for dealing with the stress.

Below are some guidelines that your business can provide its staff:

Time management is a vital tool in ensuring workload is eased. Having a diary and planning out daily tasks in a strategic format will allow the process of tasks to run smoothly, hence ensuring that work is completed. Additionally, estimating the hours needed for a particular task is vital as this allows you to see a clearer picture of the total hours an assignment will take. This makes meeting deadlines easier.

Colour co-ordinating tasks in order of priority can effectively reduce the pressure of delaying immediate tasks that require completion sooner.

Being able to prioritise your time is essential when under a stressful situation. Spending a considerate amount of time on a certain task will delay the completion of further tasks, leaving one feeling stressful.

This may aggravate the situation if an emergency arose, for example a new deadline to complete. Setting your priorities either for the day or longer, will have an impact on your performance. For example, in a situation of a call centre you may set one of your priorities in winning the customer, this will not only give you a goal to accomplish but allow you to target and pin-point your aim of work.

In nerve-racking situation individuals often disregard having regular breaks. Having regular breaks not only eases stresses but in reality gives you the boost, and energy, to complete the necessary tasks. Having a glass of water regularly prevents the brain from dehydration and allows faster brain function. Having a few minutes of relaxation from work can ease the mind and will reduce any discomfort you may feel.

We all know that being organised is vital in all situations, as this relieve the burden of tasks. However, many staff members often undermine the role of being organised. For example, in a stressful situation one may spend hours in finding important papers that could have been found in seconds if they had been properly filed in the first place!

This not only wastes time but limits time that in reality could have been used in completing work. Having folders, labelling them properly, and filing all your paperwork, is crucial, as this simple task can save hours of time fumbling with and finding papers.

Prioritising your time and having a checklist / to do list can often ease workload as in s stressful situation individuals panic and often forget about tasks that need to be completed urgently. Being tidy is vital, it may seem like a tedious repetitive task; however this saves time and often eases completion of tasks.

Avoid being lethargic! Being lazy is a common attribute that individuals undergo when deadline dates are far off from approaching. When you receive work, finish it before the deadline, as avoiding tasks, and leaving them to the last minute, leads to increased pressure.

The key to effectively easing heavy workload for you can be as simple as doing some strategic planning and managing your time effectively.
