How I did it: I was really determine to have less stress in my life - and more fun. At first, I seemde to have chosen the worst moment there could be: a period where there was no hope of working less than 50 hours per day. But the key to everything was discipline and living in the very moment. In the morning, I took some time either or sport or reading, in the evening for meeting friends, sport and other personal hobbies. I also made a to-do-list of items I had long put off, then decided whether I really wanted to do them. If so, I did them asap, if not I crossed them off, considering them as "done" nonetheless.
Having pursued this strategy for 2 months, I can say that I am less stressed - and have learned a lesson for my life!

Lessons & tips:

• make a list of things you need to do
• complete the necessary work conscientiously, always concentrating on the thing you are doing
• reserve some daily time for personal hobbies, interests and dear people
• complete all those things you have always postponed - or decide to forget about them once and for all
