The Correlation in Stress to Work

The Stress you feel in work when things don’t go right are in direct correlation to how much you care about the work you are doing.

If you could care less about the outcome, who the customer is, how it will affect them, what the end result will be or whether they will enjoy the product – you will never be stressed out.

If you worry about the impact your work will make, whether your work will sit on a shelf forever or actually be used and how it will make people feel – I have bad news for you, you will have moments of stress in your work.

Because you will care about the end result.

It’s a good thing, no a great thing, to be stressed out for what you care for.
