Not too long ago I wrote about surviving the pressures cooker and some strategies that can help keep you healthy during periods of extended crunch time at work. Recently I found
this Harvard Business Review article that echoes a lot of my thoughts but also discusses how stress can be good for your productivity and how to recognize when you have gone past the tipping point into unhealthy stress. I had an AH-HA! moment when I saw the Yerkes-Dodson Curve. I’ve seen other people hit that tipping point many times, and I’ve experienced it personally. Just knowing that it happens to everyone at some level or stress or another is reassuring.
