⇝Sometimes I wake up at 3 a.m., worried.
⇝Dozens of questions run through my mind.
⇝Am I getting into the right thing?
⇝Will my business keep going well?
⇝Will I be able to repay my loan?
⇝What if all my clients dry up, and nobody wants to work with me?
⇝What if I can’t feed myself?
⇝What to do better than the competitors?
⇝How to recruit the cost effective yet productive resource?
⇝What if I make one stupid mistake and everything I’ve built gets torn
down?
You?

Cause & Effect?
•CAN YOU IDENTIFY YOUR
STRESSOR?
•IS IT CONTROLLABLE?

5.  Purposeful intention
 Prioritize your MVP’s (Most Valuable
Priorities)
 Predetermine your outcome
 Protect your time
 Be present in all that you do
 Never start your week unless it is
written on paper first. Either you’re
running your days, or your days are
running you. The most successful
people live in the now. Zero in on what
you need to accomplish and do it.
Pointing to
your
problems
only does
not solve the
purpose.
DOES IT?

STAYING PRODUCTIVE WHILE STAYING
STRESS-FREE

6.  Jack’s trick in staying productive while putting in such
long hours is to theme his days. Each weekday is
dedicated to a particular area of the business at both
companies. Here’s what his themed week looks like:
 Monday: Management and running the company
Tuesday: Product
Wednesday: Marketing and communications, growth
Thursday: Developers and partnerships
Friday: Company culture and recruiting
 Saturday I take off. I hike. And then Sunday is reflections,
feedback, strategy and getting ready for the rest of the
week.

Solution 1 to Stress management

10.  Be at peace with your passion at all cost
 Have your Time & Urgency matrix Clear
 Define your business - Maybelline, is in business of
selling ‘Hope to look good’
 Plan details with premise, this will give you flexibility
 Work on “Zero Sum Loss”, look at what you may gain
than loose
 Set timeline to execute tasks, else change your path
 Set aside budget for R&D, if you don’t foresee
competition, it will kill you

11.  Set aside reflection time
 Do break free
 Don’t shy away from your family, tell them you
need time to establish and you need them to listen
 Still waters run deep- decide with calm mind
 Have an ear to depend upon
 Build team, keep clear communication, build
systems
Stress & Team Building by Dr Anju Chawla 11

12.  No matter how hard you try, you can't do it all.
 Greatest idea too needs execution which needs
team
 Challenge is to get like minded people, but reward
is constructive criticism and many ideas
 You cannot scale up without a team
 As soon as you can afford to, hire your first
employee, even if you have to use every single
Rupee of net profit you should to do it. Hiring this
person will enable you to focus on growing the
business well beyond its current level.

Clearly define your business and prioritise your goals-Keep Realigning
Let tasks be identified in Time & urgency matrix to know which is crisis and which is waster
Identify available resources- People, money, material, infrastructure,Technology
Caution- Take inputs from others but don’t copy
Work with people, to begin with , identify an ear to pour yourself
Caution- Be close for your private self else you may feel stress later
Must- Give yourself little “Me “ Time and “Reflection Time”, Have an open
communication with your team
Identify stressors, if controllable- control else adjust . If it needs a detour don’t shy away
Seek help whenever required, use social media , peer group, study groups
Rectify your mistake as soon as you identify one
Keep yourself updated with PESTEL and changes in VUCA world
