Work for you, yes, I am right.
It is scientifically proved world wide that optimum amount of stress can actually enhance the capacity to work.

There are certain things which are to be kept in mind so that our stress keeps within limits.
1.
Always prioritize your tasks.
Do not take stress on unimportant matters.

A wise man once said " Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly.
" 4.
