Mind Tools - Effective Stress Management

Fatigue and exhaustion

Steps to remedy this can be as simple as going to bed earlier, or taking a good break.

Alternatively re-examine your life and check whether the things you are doing lead to you meeting your personal goals. This may show you which jobs or commitments you can drop. Implementing time management strategies may also help you to work more effectively, giving you more time to relax.

Where the problem is serious, go to see your doctor.
