29k explains that stress comes from high expectations or demands and not enough resources to handle them, adding that people should learn how to relieve social or cultural pressure by setting boundaries.

One of the most essential stress management techniques is to work smarter, and not just harder. By using this technique, people increase their productivity without working for longer periods of time.

29k explains that in order to work smarter, people must learn to prioritize and delegate. The most urgent tasks need to be completed first, and if there are too many to finish within the time given, people need to ask for the help of colleagues and managers.

Another technique that the app recommends is to communicate needs and set expectations. By learning to say “no” when the scope of the task is unreasonable for the deadline, people are not only taking care of their own mental and physical well-being, but they are also more likely to produce high-quality work.

Saying “no” is difficult for most people. 29k explains that within any company or organization, the need to contribute and the pressure to cooperate make boundaries difficult to set. However, this self-care habit can be cultivated by doing it more often, and the app gives proven tips on how to turn down requests with confidence.

29k provides evidence-based exercises that enable people to take charge of their mental health. They also have on-demand tools for people to do mental health check-ins, reflections, and guided meditations.

“Stress is necessary to motivate us and help us achieve things in life. It is when it gets too much for too long that it can be dangerous,” the article states. “Making time for recovery is key, and distinguishing between what’s within our control and what’s outside our control can help us handle the situation when things pile up.”
