How do you deal with stress?

I undergo lots of stress on a daily basis and sometimes find it hard to cope. What are your ways to deal with stress? For me, I have this little ball that I try to squeeze. For some reason it helps me think. I also like to get things in order. Write down what I have to do, what existing work I have left. Then I plan out when I should complete it by. Then my mind is able to clear a little as I know what I have to do and by when.

Listening to music and asking question - "is this useful? helps.

How exactly does asking "is this useful" help? I'd like to know a scenario, as I don't really get how it helps.

@Joel7050 it helps when you have negative thoughts.. depression starts with negative thoughts. and asking "is it useful" helps a lot.

Why don't you tell us first how *you* cope with stress to start the discussion off?

@Joel7050 All this belongs *into* the discussion proper. Other members may also want to know it.
