How to manage stress

The first thing that I do is that I ask myself, whether the goal is worth of stress. If not, than the problem is solved. Otherwise, I ask myself, whether I can influence the result. If the only thing that I can do is to wait, then there is no reason to be stressed since it doesn't help anyway. However, if it is possible to influence the result than stop for a while, take a paper and write everything that can improve the result. Assign time consumption and cost to each of the bullets and select bullets that maximize gain. That is it. After less than five minutes I know what have I to do, that the goal is manageable and worth of the effort. And I am relieved of the stress.
