When life's pressures seem to be too much

When I'm bombarded with tasks and deadlines, I just lie in my bed, try to relax, then sleep. This, I guess, is one of the best ways to unwind and relax. :)

Can you really sleep when you have so many deadlines? I try to sleep but that makes it worse sometimes, for me. I do two things. First I work out a little, go for a run or do anything active to reduce the stress. Then I look for some inspirational quotes or look around at the bookstore for some interesting stories about life.

Yes, I am able to sleep even if I have tons of deadlines. And mind you, I sleep sooo well! :D We're not the same. I respect the way you approach things. You have your ways, I have mine. Thanks for the response though.

When life's pressures get to me, I just take a step back for a minute. Take a nice deep breath, perhaps a few more deep breaths if it is really absolutely necessary. I really do need to get back on track to deal with the pressure, as there is obviously some reason to really be causing the pressure. Therefore, I need to get mentally back on task and if I am a nervous wreck, that is really not conductive to getting everything done.
When I am mentally back on track, I can really deal with each and every task. Taking care of every single thing one by one. Because the pressure is not going to disappear just because I delayed doing something. In fact, it really might get rather worse. Therefore, better to get done sooner rather than later. The sooner I complete the causes of pressure, the better things are going to come across. That is in a nutshell how I deal with pressure.

That's the simplest way to put it. Although I do things a little differently. I setup the dvd and watch some great movies or play video games with my 5 year old Playstation 2. I'm really proud of this piece of contraption. I never cleaned it since the first day I bought and yet after 5 years it still works. If you're wondering, I have the big one, the first edition that got released.
