1. Break down the tasks and create a plan. Identify what needs to be done and prioritize tasks accordingly. Having a clear plan will help you feel less overwhelmed.
2. Make sure to take time for yourself. Working long hours can make the workload feel overwhelming, so try to make time for leisure activities to help you relax and stay motivated.
3. Ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask colleagues or mentors for advice regarding your job and stress management. Talking to people in similar positions can help you gain perspective on the challenges of a new job.
4. Exercise regularly. Regular physical activity can help reduce stress levels and help maintain physical and mental health.
5. Make use of available resources. Your employer may have resources available to help you get settled in and manage stress. Make sure to look into the resources available to you.
