  • Always Talk: Talk to your family and friends about how stressed you are at work. If they know about your job, they’ll be more understanding of how busy you are.
  • Take Help: It’s not bad to ask your friends and family for small favors. Share your chores with your family, and try not to take on too much by yourself.
