Don’t Let March Turn into Madness

While it is important to stay on top of your finances throughout the year, it’s quite safe to assume that many people will get a little — or a lot — behind.

If you find yourself behind on your paperwork and rushing to get your tax items in order, you’re certainly not alone.

With the weight of stress hanging on your shoulders, you may make a few rash decisions that could wind up creating some very costly errors. So it’s important to stay as cool and calm as you can and keep a level head while you go through your paperwork.

Here are a few tips that I feel could help you deal with stress and help you stay focused on your goals:

1) Dedicate a specific time each day to getting your worries out. For some, the best time to do this is in the morning. Set aside about 30 minutes to go over your biggest concerns. Don’t expect to solve these problems right away, as the goal here is to get your worries out on the table so you can get on with your day. You can also save this time for later in the day, but avoid doing this right before you head to bed. The adrenaline you’ll probably work up will most likely keep you lying awake longer than you want.

2) Spend time with people not connected to your business. The idea is to distance yourself from your business anxieties for a little while at least. Don’t let yourself get drawn into conversations about your work while you are out. You must have dozens of other interests, so keep your discussion on those topics. It’s certainly not rude to change the subject away from your business when you know it will put a damper on your time away from work.

3) Limit the amount of time you spend alone. While taking some alone time is good for collecting your thoughts, it isn’t always the best for you when you are dealing with stress. When you are alone, there is little else to distract you from over-worrying yourself. Instead, take your daytime breaks with someone you know, eat dinner with friends and family or invite them over to watch television in the evening.
