Top tip to reduce stress: Get organized and stress less
When you are carrying around all the things you need to remember, short-term memory is maxed out, which increases stress and anxiety levels because you don't have mental reserve to think about more enjoyable things. Procrastination can sap your energy, because you know you need to get certain things done, and the time you waste thinking about it steals away time you could be doing those things. --- (1) Make decisions faster. (2) Use a pad of paper that "captures" thoughts when you have them, so you can keep track of crucial items. (3) Though you may not like labeling (giving items an official place in the home), it's a good means of communication.
