It's amazing what a simple to-do list can help an individual achieve. From organization to prioritization, it's the little things in life that assist people in dealing with everyday stressors.

Employees looking to reduce workplace stress may want to consider taking a few minutes at the beginning of their day to write down what needs to be done, things that can wait for later and tasks that can be handled by someone else.

MindTools.com recommended breaking large tasks up in a to-do list by creating a separate set of jobs for that project. Lists should be prioritized from most important to least important.

Additionally, the site said that it may help individuals to make different lists for their work and personal lives.

HelpGuide.org has warned that some employees experience intense workplace stress as a result of their need to control every detail of a project. The source recommended that workers try to delegate less important jobs to a co-worker who may have more time or flexibility.
