I love and at times miss the advertisement industry. There's a plethora of horribly executed commercials while yesterday, the new commercial by Microsoft proved to be nothing short of awesomeness. Microsoft pokes fun of Siri in their new, "Windows 8: Less talking, more doing" ad.

Job Stress, It Comes With The Territory
Sure we all experience stress on the job, some more than others but we're human - it happens.
Don't fret, there are ways of coping with the stress and I have a few tips to help you.
1. Recognize the Signs
Are you feeling overwhelmed, irritable and/or withdrawn? Take a deep breath and take your breaks! Some of us get caught up in work and forget or ignore those 15 minute breaks, but reality is those are sanity 'recharge' breaks. YOU NEED THEM, so take them!
2. Make Better Food Choices
Eating too much or heavy carbs can make you feel lethargic while low sugar can make you irritable, in turn making you act out on colleagues and create a less enjoyable attitude to be around. Eat small meals and/or snack to keep your energy up and keep you focused.
3. Get Sleep
You only have yourself to blame for those late nights playing on the laptop web surfing or cell phone games. Disconnect when you leave the office and get rest. No one wants to be around someone who woke up on the wrong side of the bed and takes it out on everyone around them.
4. Be Willing To Compromise And Not Demand
If you request a colleague to contribute differently to a task or project, revise a deadline, or change their behavior at work, be willing to do the same. You got to give a little to take a little. Be sure the workload is realistic to colleagues abilities and resources, and avoid unrealistic deadlines. Take responsibility.
5. Clean Up Your Act
If you're always running late, set your alarm earlier. If your desk is a mess, file and throw away the clutter. Make to-do lists and cross off items you accomplish. Plan your day and stick to the schedule. A team is dependent on each and every member. It's hard if everyone is picking up the weight of those who don't pull their own. These little steps are huge in helping everyone feel less overwhelmed.
6. Improve Communication
It's vital for everyone to share information across the board. Going to be late? Send an email to the team and let everyone know; you never know if someone may be coming in early (or late) and depending on you being there. Got a pretty extensive call that you're trying to dictate via email, chances are you're going to have to talk about it in the end, why not just talk to the person and go over the call. Emails sometimes get hard to decode or understand- be proactive in alleviating the frustration and get together.
Have any other tips that can help alleviate stress in the workplace?
