Yes, I do get stressed alot. I do think a technique like this could work. When ever I am stressed out I actually do these techniques and they work for me. I feel that making a list helps because its helps you get organized and you can plan out how you want to accomplish each task.
Yes, I do stress out at times. Techniques like this could work. This is because I feel good when I write things down and get it off my chest. However, when I'm stressed I usually doing some sort of physical activity so I don't think about it.
I dont think a technique like this would work for me. But when I get stressed out I try to do something else to distract me.
Yes I get stressed out, especially this time of year, and being a senior. I personally do not think that this kind of a technique would work for me. I beleive this would result in a worse product. When I get stressed out I try to do put the stressful thing aside and relax myself. After relaxed when I am ready I go back and work on the task again and Making sure I don't get worked up about it again.
